The purpose of the BA thesis is the analysis of the chosen hillforts in Karst, identification of their features, their comparison and determination of their types. The research is based on Lidar-derived images. Fourteen hillforts, defined as centres of the 'local communities' were chosen for the analysis. The chosen Karst hillforts are compared to other, better researched hillforts in karst landscape. They are also compared to older spatial analyses of Karst. Based on the analysis and comparison of Lidar-derived images, a typology of Karst hillforts was proposed. Karst hillforts were shown to have very complex and heterogeneous structure, which is likely the result of their long development. A problem in the analysis of the Karst hillforts is posed by the lack of modern excavations and research, which results in shortage of more precise data on the chronology and development of the hillforts.
