Summary/Abstract: It is considered that karstology; the science that deals with soluble rocks; begins as a separate discipline with the dissertation of Jovan Cvijić "Das Karstphänomen" (1893). During the 20th century karstology has developed and deepened mainly as part of the geography; geology and hydrology; and in the 1950’s has found strong application in technical sciences; particularly construction; forestry and agriculture. At the end of the 20th century; Czech karstologist Vladimir Panoš (1995) defined karstology as an independent; integrated system of individual branches that are taking a complex research in areas covered with rocks of different degrees of solubility. His definition provides a platform for versatile karstology and approach to solving all the problems that appear on the karst. The paper provides an overview in scientific and management activities in the Dinaric karst which refer to such defined karstology and a current rating of affirmation such perceived karstology in its homeland 120 years after its creation.
