For practical purposes assessments for water supply, recreation and health, forestry and agriculture, cultural (paleontological or archaeological) significance or development perspectives are feasible. The increasing pressure on the environment calls for detailed inventories in order to provide fountation for regional planning and conservation measures. The paper investigates the opportunities for the vulnerability assessment of karst areas, primarily on the basis of a procedure applied in British Columbia, Canada. %Z Bibliogr.: p. 444-445. és a lábjegyzetben ; összefoglalás angol nyelven
