Abstract

Geomorphology is a very good guide for urban planning. Geomorphologic maps not only propose new ideas regarding the variables of the perspective, but also indirectly facilitate evaluation of resources in an environment. The present article demonstrates the capability of satellite data in identifying main geomorphologic units in an industrial area like Korba city. Moreover, it is possible to identify the importance of the area using geomorphologic maps along with other geo-information like Lithology and geology structures. Each area is appropriate for a special kind of development and urban planning. The present article emphasizes on how a simple perspective like logical accumulation of geomorphologic and geologic information can provide valuable input for urban planning and development.
