The article discusses how researchers studied karst regions in Slovenia to plan for sustainable land use. They focused on understanding karst surface, caves, waters, and biodiversity. By monitoring karst phenomena during construction projects, preserving new discoveries, and studying groundwater contamination risks, they developed methods for protecting karst environments. They also used microorganisms and cave fauna to monitor ecosystem health. Overall, their research laid the foundation for planning life in karst regions that considers both natural and cultural characteristics.
