Sažetak
The intriguing spatial variability of surface features on Krk Island has stimulated the research of this particular karst area located in the coastal zone of the Dinaric karst in Croatia. Field inspection, ortho-rectified aerial photos in resolution 0.5 m and topographic map in scale 1:5.000 were applied for the detection and delineation of detectable karst surface features appearing on the island area of 405.5 km². This method resulted in the evidence of several yet undefined types of surface features occurring on karst, provoking the revision of the existing classification and the re-establishment of the new classification compatible with the particular field reality. Several morphologic and distributive parameters that had been calculated for each re-classified type of surface feature gave the insight to the surface features elementary characteristics, their spatial variability and the correlation to the other types of surface features and to the recent karst relief. The results obtained from a large dataset of fairly a high accuracy contributed to the knowledge on the surface features on karst in general, on the surface features in the conditions of the Dinaric karst and to the understanding of the karst surface evolution on Krk Island.
