Social development of ecologically sensitive rural areas pass through complicated development, especially when they are karst areas. Two karst areas were chosen as a study areas: Moravský kras (Czech Republic) and Devetashko Plateau in Bulgaria. Moravian karst is under pressure of tourims, its southern part also under the pressure of suburbanization. Improper agricultural methods in karst areas may lead to huge water erosion and pollution of underground waters and spaces. On the other side, Devetashko Plateau is abandoned by its population step by step. The soil partly lies fallow. A part of the housing fund is abandoned and dilapidates. The territory is not sustainable.
