Sažetak
During geomorphological studys of karst poljes there is the problem of defining their exact boundaries. The edges of the karst poljes are not uniform and vary from polje to polje, but also within a single karst polje. In this work geomorphological research of Korenica and Bijelo Polje in Croatia was carried out by using the methods of digital terrain analysis and field research and mapping. In this research we try to defined four possibilities to determine the edges of the karst polje areas: border of the bottom of the polje, the highest closed contour, orographic basin edge and the edge of the theoretical surface drainage basin. It was concluded that for defining the karst polje area the best is to take two parameters: border of the bottom of the polje and orographic basin edge. In addition, we tried to define the basic types of these boundaries. The edge of the bottom of the karst polje can be one of these main types: clearly defined, covered and transition edge. Also, orographic basin edge can be: defined, undefined and transition edge. Using so-defined edges different morphographic and morphometric parameters can be accurately measured and compare for multiple poljes.
