Abstract:: Hanzhong Tiankeng group in Shaanxi is the first discovered karst geological wonder in the northern humid tropical-subtropical karst landform, which is located at 32°N33°N in China. In order to understand the formation and evolution mechanism of Hanzhong Tiankeng group and enhance the comprehensive governance and protection of the life community, the systematic, scientific, practical comprehensive research system was built, and the components were explored by using the system engineering method and the fundamentals of complexity theory, synergy theory, self-organization theory. Meanwhile, the 6 subsystems of Hanzhong Tiankeng group were established from multiple dimensions, respectively, including the researches on multidisci-plinary system within the geoscience system, geological heritage resource composition, ecological aesthetics, genetic mechanism, comprehensive governance of the life community, conservation and utilization. With the further research of Hanzhong Tiankeng group and the establishment of scientific system, the study on karst geology in China and all over the world will be greatly enriched and improved.
