What happens with sinkholes after they open?

1.27K views

We see news reports of sinkholes opening in various places all over the world. What I never hear about is what’s done afterward. I assume smaller ones, like this one in [Taiwan](https://supercarblondie.com/sinkhole-swallows-tesla-model-y-taiwan/) could be repaired without too much hassle. What about the larger sinkholes in [Turkey](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11262701/16-giant-sinkholes-open-one-Turkish-region-months.html)?

Is there a way to make land like that usable again? Or do people just sort of put up a sign and hope no one falls in?

A sink hole (on a significantly smaller scale than this one pictured) opened in our backyard. We had to call the city to come fill it in for us. It cost a decent amount of money too but IIRC insurance paid for some of it
