Karstik arazilerin karakteristik şekillerinden olan dolinler, karstik gelişim sürecinin de en önemli göstergelerinden biridir. Dolayısıyla bir sahanın jeomorfolojik ve hidrojeolojik karstik gelişiminin belirlenebilmesi için dolin tiplerini iyi bilmek ve adlarını doğru koymak gerekmektedir. Ülkemizdeki jeomorfoloji ve karst literatüründe son yıllardaki bazı çalışmalar dışında, dolinler genel olarak erime (çözünme) ve çökme dolini olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmış ve obruklar da genellikle bunlardan ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Uluslar arası karst literatüründe ise dolinler, 1970\'li yıllardan itibaren, 4, 5 veya 6 tipe ayrılmıştır. Dünya karst literatüründeki en son araştırmalarda yer alan dolin sınıflamasını Türkiye karst literatürüne kazandırmaya çalıştığımız bu makaledeDolines, the characteristic features of the karstic terrains, are also one of the major indicators of the karstic development process. Therefore, the determination of the geomorphological and hydrogeological karstic development of an area requires a correct definition of doline types and their correct indication. The dolines in Turkey, except in some recent studies, were generally classified as dissolution and collapse dolines and “obruks” were evaluated separately from those. The dolines in international karst literature have been classified into 4, 5 and even 6 types starting from 1970s. In this study carried out to introduce the international karst classification system to the Turkish karst literature, the dolines are classified into six types as dissolution doline, collapse doline, caprock doline, dropout doline, alluvial (suffosion) doline and burried doline according tKarst, dolin, dolin sınıflamasıKarst, doline, doline classification Tam Metin
