Next, after considering and evaluating development models which have been prepared in compatibility with natural factors and activities, the proper model is selected with all cultural, social, economic and environmental aspects taken into account. Provision of maps based on each effective factor and comparing them with cultural, social and economic considerations make the conditions for scientific deduction possible. By comparing environmental maps, identification of natural potential is carried out and environmental design takes place according to a precise and proper knowledge of the area.
