The research, carried out in 2010 in the border area between Slovenia and neighboring countries, examines various aspects of cross-border mobility and spatial border permeability and co-dependency, as well as the situation of Slovenian border areas after Slovenia's entry into the EU. The authors also wanted to find out the expectations of the population in the border areas regarding the effects of Slovenia's entry into the Schengen area on the further development of relations. The data were collected with a public opinion telephone poll within the ARRS program group "Areas of cultural contact in integration processes", in the four border areas of Slovenia (the area with Austria, Croatia, Italy and Hungary). Data from all areas are available in ADP (see ADP-IDNo JMOOSH10, JMOOSA10 and JMOOSI10).

Survey was conducted by Public Opinion Research Centre, Science and Research Centre Koper.
