Sažetak
In this paper, quantitative geomorphological features (slope inclinations, profile and planar curvature) of mountain rims of Duvanjsko polje were analyzed. Recent shape of this area is a consequence of series of natural and social impacts during relief genesis and evolution. The aims of this research are analysis of quantitative features of hillslope inclinations and curvatures of morphological units in wider Duvanjsko polje area, interpretation of results and synthesis, so more detailed insight in hillslope features and processes can be achieved and evaluation of nature of dominant geomorphological processes can be obtained. During this task, special attention was given to a detailed geomorphometric analysis in GIS environment based on a digital relief model. The analysis was conducted in several phases: 1. comparative analysis of hillslope characteristics based on morphological units, 2. comparative analysis of hillslope curvatures and 3. analysis of relationship between slope inclinations and curvature features. Synthesis included interpretation of obtained results in wider context of relationship between morphometric features and structural/lithological features of morphological units.
