Multivariate approach to relief classification and typology - the example of north-western Croatia
Sanja Lozić
Abstract
This work deals with the multivariate approach to relief classification and typology from the applied - geomorphological aspect on the example of North-Western Croatia. The researched area is covered by 4495 samples analyzed according to 9 criterion variables (quantitative, geomorphological, pedological and lithological variables).
Consonant with research purposes, a multivariate approach has been approved. It is based on generalization of larger number of atributes pointing out characteristic features and relations. All this enables the establishment of a hierachial structure and construction of the corresponding models, on the basis of which we realize typology and get insight into the causes of the relief type diferentiation.
