Sažetak
Karst phenomena and subterranean biodiversity of the Dubrovnik region are of the exceptional value as natural heritage. This is evidenced by Legislation and Red Data Books of the Republic of Croatia according to IUCN categories of threat. Močiljska Cave (Dubrovnik, Croatia) was proclaimed a protected geo-morphological monument of nature in 1963 with the view to conserve its natural value. The main goal of this paper is to investigate different possibilities of design, restoration and construction of the door at the entrance in Močiljska Cave in order to close the entrance and ensure active conservation of cave and subterranean life, especially endangered and endemic species and their habitats. Data on the existing biospeleological and karstological cave investigations, concerning all criteria regarding nature and landscape protection with special attention to conservation of natural entrance, passage and vegetation at the entrance to the cave are used as basis for concept design and design for construction. For this purpose interdisciplinary approach and close cooperation among speleologists, architects and experts in the field of nature protection is needed. Results of this paper are to be used as basis for conducting conservation measures and efficient management of karst phenomena of the Dubrovnik region.
