Povžane (pronounced [pɔu̯ˈʒaːnɛ] ) is a small village next to Materija in the Municipality of Hrpelje-Kozina in the Littoral region of Slovenia close to the border with Croatia. [2]
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.
Materija is a small settlement in the Municipality of Hrpelje-Kozina in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It lies between fields and meadows in the Materija Lowland, a dry karst valley bottom, along the road from Rijeka to Trieste.
