Abstract
Geomorphologic maps are, in fact, the result of research on morphogenic phenomena of a region, drawn on desirable scale and by using aerial photos as illustrative data in the field of topographic maps.
The significance of the phenomena shown on these maps is different in terms of the type of map and its function. Geomorphologic maps are not only valuable tools for scientific research in different systems that are in some way related to the Earth sciences, but also in different developmental plans such as rural development, river basin development, urban development .... Here, due to the necessity of brevity, only the applications of these maps in urban development are briefly described.
