【 摘 要 】

The method of factor analysis (R-mode) is applied as a tool in the

system approach to the investigation of a selected geomorphological

region in the Northwestem Croatia. The factor model derived from

the analysis is a mathematical representation of the fourth-order d rain age

basin system. It is composed of five orthogonal factors representing

an assemblage of mutually uncorrelated subsystems as a framework

within which geomorphic processes operate. Lithologic variables included

in the analysis prove to be an inseparable part of the investigated

geomorphological system. Loaded significantly on the specific factors,

not only do they disclose the way the resistant geological framework

opposes the activity of driving forces in the study area, but also indicate

most straightforwardly the connection between the geologic

structure and the area! extent of the certain rock types (lithology).

The former is particularly evident in the case of the sl ope factor, while

the latter is characteristic for the factor of vertical dis section.
