Abstract
The meaning of terms "karst hazard" and "karst risk" are discussed. Quantitative measures of considered risk, at any level of forecast assessment include the following: probable damage from karst deformations, frequency (probability) of its realization, and also the product of the mentioned parameters characterizing annual physical, economic, social or ecological losses within a certain territory. The general procedure of regional assessment of karst collapse intensity (cases of failures / years ⋅ km2, m2/ years ⋅ km2), vulnerability of objects of national economy and population for these deformations, as well as karst economic ($/year, $/km2 ⋅ year), social (per. /year) and individual (per. /per. ⋅ year) risks of losses are discussed.
