About Alenka Poplin
In my research I concentrate on online geogames and their development and implementation for community engagement in planning. I also explore emotions and mapping evocative places. I love to dance, travel, swim, hike and take pictures of beautiful scenery. I lived and worked in Slovenia, Austria, Germany and US.
