Abstract

Although it is an inland sea, the Sea of Marmara and
its surroundings have rather complex morphology due to the active tectonics of
the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) zone in this region. The Kapıdağ Peninsula
which is located at its southern coasts also represents a complex morphology.
Macro morphologic units of Kapıdağ Peninsula are N-S trending deep valley
systems, mountain areas and Belkıs isthmus. The most coastal area of peninsula
has terraces, coastal plains and alluvial valley floors. These unique
morphologic features can explain some parameters of active tectonics of the Sea
of Marmara region. In order to investigate these geomorphologic features of the
Kapıdağ peninsula in detail, some land observations, satellite data, Digital
Terrain Models (DTMs which have been evaluated from topographic maps with a
vertical precision of ±3m and cell size of 8m), Geographic Information Systems
(GIS), traditional methods and some integrated techniques such as image
processing were used.
