Abstract

IntroductionIn several perspectives including geographical determinism, possibilism, exceptionalism, ecological and other views, it is discussed about understanding how human and the environment interact. Human in dealing with different environments, depending on the capabilities of environment and existing tools and techniques, adopt themselves with the nature or interfere in it. KARST landscapes are one of the most sensitive and fragile environments that any interference by habitants could led to irreversible conditions. These environments are one of the most valuable resources of fresh water. Nearly 25% of the world population lives in KARST areas- landscapes that are characterized by sinkholes, caves, and underground drainage (Veni, 2001). The interaction of human and KARST has been regarded in the many studies mostly about the impacts of human activities on KARST. In general, there are few studies concentrated on the various effects of KARST on the human societies. Andrejchuk (2005) and Lovász and Gyenizse (2012) have regarded KARST landscapes as a settling factor. These studies show that comparing with non-karstic areas because of the specific hydrology and geomorphology of KARSTlands the population mostly has concentrated around KARST springs and in the other parts settlements are highly sparse. In fact, the history of human settlement dates back far into the past in KARST environments. A significant number of protected areas as the world heritage belong to KARST areas (UNESCO, 2008). Many of them, such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Chongqing in south western China, Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in South Africa, Lascaux cave in France and Shanidar cave in Zagros Mounts in Iraqi kurdistan have been protected for their archeological and historical values.
