Abstract
Antakya-Kahramanmaraú depression has nearly 180 – 200 km length and 5 – 40 km width. Research area is located on the Eastern
of the East Mediterranean. There are many studies that have been carried out in this area. These studies are mostly geological and
some of them have been made in terms of physical and human geography. This area has a great variety of morphological
characteristics. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) methods are very useful in morphological
researches. Many morphological studies have been carried out recently by using these technologies. In this study, fault
morphology was investigated by using GIS and RS technologies. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Landsat TM Satellite
images with 7 bands of different dates were used as main data in this study and many analyses were applied to these data. Firstly,
faults were determined by DEM and correlated to existent faults on the geological maps. Subsequently, the relationships between
faults and drainage were emphasized. Consequently, fault morphology of area was interpreted through analysis.
This study is a preliminary work on geomorphological features of the region. Fault morphology of the region will be obtained
through detailed studies. Morphological studies are very important for the planning of this region, especially the densely
populated places in this depression. In addition, due to the morphological variety in Antakya-Kahramanmaraú depression and its
surroundings, there are many economic activities going on here.
