Sažetak
Fractal analysis addresses an important problem in the study of nature. Natural phenomena are complex, and their understanding requires many years of scientific research. There are no methods that can be described quantitatively in a faster way. Determining the fractal dimension is one of the prospective techniques if appropriate a way to connect with geological, hydrological and physical processes in nature. Dimensions in the case of regular geometric figures, such as lines, squares and cubes integer: 1, 2, 3. However, in nature there are structures (fractals) that do not have the whole spatial dimension. The technique presented in this work is aimed at the determination the fractal dimension and analysis of the longest cave of Dinaric Karst (length is 32 km). For the Cave system Kita Gaćešina (Velebit Mt., Croatia) fractal dimension up to 2.4 was determined, which confirms that the network of cave channels has a fractal structure. This is a significant result that requires further interpretation in framework of geological studies.
