Recent studies have established a close relationship of surface karst manifesta-tions and deformations of buildings and structures with buried forms of paleohy-dronet. The development of territories previously considered unsuitable for construc-tion purposes is inevitably accompanied by a serious human impact on the geological environment and, as a result, karst processes are activated. The technogenic modern activity of sulfate and sulfate-carbonate karst is most pronounced within the industri-ally urbanized territories of the Belaya — Ufa (“Ufa Peninsula”) interfluve and areas of oil-producing technogenesis (Tuymazinsky, Shkapovsky, etc.).
The authors created a GIS database project “Karst of the Southern Urals and the Cis-Urals”, which contains geospatial data on the manifestations of the karst pro-cess in soluble rocks in the South Urals and Cis-Urals. The database is managed using the “Karst” classifier.
