- Karst area is spread around the islands of Indonesia have provided the resources for the lives of people who live in it and around it. Karst area in Indonesia has been a human habitation since prehistoric times. As an ecosystem, the karst area is an area of unique and highly sensitive (fragile) to environmental degradation. Karst ecosystem sensitivity is mainly due to the thin soil cover and scarcity of surface water that condition brings ecological consequences about biodiversity and socio-economic. All forms of utilization will harm the karst ecosystem compared with other ecosystems. Karst ecosystem management thus needs special attention compared to other ecosystems. Good management in this case requires a true understanding of the karst area. Most private, public, and government institutions in Indonesia do not understand the karst area. The background is pushing some of the staff at the Faculty of Geography to dedicate themselves to taking a role in understanding the karst area through research and advising others to participate in the management of the karst area.
- Study about karst in the Faculty of Geography, starting from the late 20th century, precisely in 1995 when Prof. HTH Verstapen recommend Faculty of Geography which in this case Prof. Dr. Sutikno and Prof. Dr. Suratman M.Sc. as counterpart Prof. Dr. Urushibara and Prof. Yosino from Hesei University Japan in Karst Environmental Change research at Mount Sewu. In 1997 then dr. RKT Ko and Prof. Dr. Sutikno provided daily lectures about karst in the Faculty of Geography. The meeting then appears initiation to organize a one day workshop on the management of karst area in 1998. The workshop then initiate the inception the Karst Society Observer Indonesia as called as MAKARTI.Since 2000 then some junior staff Faculty of Geography consist of Eko Haryono, Tjahyo Nugroho Adji, M. Widyastuti committed to take up the theme of karst as an object of study (minor) to be Karst Research Group of the Faculty of Geography. Then they were take a dissertation with the object of study karst and actively doing research about karst area and participate in the socialization of karst area and provide inputs of karst area management in the central government level, province and district levels.
