Abstract

The purpose of this manuscript is to propose a method for analyzing the risks related to karst relief in an urban area, which has as its principle the approach of all the elements that make up the urban karst system, in an integrated manner. Therefore, aspects related to natural physical dynamics are considered, as well as aspects related to urban dynamics. Therefore, the development of this work consists of the description of the referred methodological procedure. Its adoption is indicated with regard to the study of risks in karst environments in urban areas. Thus, considering and correlating the evolutionary dynamics of karst relief and anthropic interferences in the formation of karst risk areas is essential.
