In this study, which was done in approximately 100 kilometers coastal zone between Armutlu-Bozburun and Bandırma-Dutliman, the coastal geomorphology of the Marmara Sea’s southern coasts that occur under the control of the North Anatolian Fault system were investigated. Using the Geographic Information Systems as well as the field-work, sandy-pebble beach (beach), beach arrow, coastal sets, dunes, lagoons, and delta as the depositional landforms created by internal and external forces on low coasts have been identified. However, it was seen that this area, which is also important and very convenient for tourism, is filled with summer houses every passing day. For this reason, the different aspects of protection and use of coasts in this study should be considered within the scope of the coastal geomorphology.

Insight into the intensities and rates of these processes is necessary to understand the past, present and future-day conditions and relations between geomorphology, and its changing. This fixation important if we aim at as natural sustainable landforms on progressing of topography. Currently landforms are affected by a significant change, causing of human impact which is settlement activities and land
use features etc. The study shows that the geomorphic process and landform have significant changed with human impact in the study area during the last few decades.

Mankind continues its vital activities on earth. As it effects Earth, it's also affected by it. Therefore, on the world mankind lives on, it and nature are two factors who affect each other. And in the last century the balance of the ecosystem, which has been alive since mankind, has been gradually changing. This change or deterioration causes degradation such as climatory properties to deviate, flora and fauna to suffer, and air, water and soil pollution interchangeably. Wetlands have been the keystones of abundance and fertility for mankind. This is why ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China have been founded nearby river deltas and have bloomed so on. Therefore, water resources and fertile land nearby them have become excellent at gathering population. And the population has caused the ecosystem in these wetlands to change. Some wetlands have been dehydrated for economic activity. Some have been abused. Eventually, the biological variety of wetlands have decayed. So that today, only wetlands which are preserved can stay alive. Whereas these resources are not infinite. If this wealth is not used wisely and is not supervised carefully, our future will be at stake. This is why today, rationing our resources effectively is mentioned frequently. To protect the environment and to develop stably, advancement and environment health must be dealt with together. The Sultan Morass, which is important nationally and internationally for its abundances and is also in an enclosed basin, is in danger of extinction because of poorly planned projects that have been executed in the area. Consequently, the rich biological variety that the Sultan Morass has, needs to be preserved, it needs to be improved, and its well properties need to be identified for the natural resources of it to be used properly, and it needs ecological supervision.
Ecosystem problems is one of the biggest problems of the past century. Especially life directly affect the air, water and biotic degradation continues to create unfavorable conditions. The deterioration of the ecosystem in general occurs with human impact. Study area in the creation of uncontrolled population gathering areas, inappropriate land use, unplanned and irregular settlements, unconscious and uninhibited way the use of the natural environment and resources, pollution of forest destruction and water resources, can give examples of phenomena such as the greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere. So, the atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere destruction lead to ecosystem problems. This negative experience of those losses is just not the kind of people affect the whole system together with other elements of the biosphere. Sapanca Lake Basin study area, which is located on part of his Çatalca- Istanbul in the Marmara Region. Sapanca lakes, rivers, fauna and flora composition of the basin are important assets. The research area of the population by the year 2014 49760 persons. Fluctuations in the rate of population growth, although overall population increased continuously. During 1935-2014 the population of the area increased approximately 4.8-fold. With this increase has increased the demand of the people in the field so that first opened to the public plains and woodlands so many scenic areas including the settlement gained momentum havoc and destruction. However, the realization of a lot of special natural conditions and application of environmental protection in the ecosystem characteristics of this field will not only demonstrate the achievements on a global scale for the local dimension Sapanca Lake Basin.
In this study, involve applied hydrographic features of Namnam River Basin which is located the north side of Köyceğiz Lake in Muğla with which area of 543.66 km². The study area has highly faulty topography with altitude up to 2295 meters from the lake side. Because diversity of geomorphic streams has significant influence erosion and deposition operations. This study was supported by field observations and office studies, it was used that Arc Map 10.1 as GIS software and Erdas Imagine 9.2 and 2011 as RS software for maps and spatial analysis. According to the results of this study, the naturel disasters which is flood originated by direct or indirect role of hydrological features of Namnam River basin occur while its frequence and severity features show increase day by day. Land use features of study area trigger or determine of frequence and severity features for floods, in Namnam River basin.
The aim of this study is to investigate geomorphologic features in the Kayışdağı which is located in the Kocaeli peneplain of Marmara Region. In this study, main factors that influence the characteristics of geomorphology including geology, climatology, land cover (especially vegetation) soil, hydrography and people are considered with the use of Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques. Almost every part of the region has been dissected by the rivers. This area is drained by lots of river and its tributaries. Causes and effects of these topics are investigated in a wide perspective with a historical overview. The study results are given in tables, figures, graphics and maps.
The aim of this study is to investigate geomorphologic features in the Karasu River Basin? which is located in the Southern Marmara Part of Marmara Region with The Western Black Sea Part of The Black Sea Region. Tectonic movements caused the main lines of embodiment in the investigation field. Even more than one cycle has been mentioned and polycyclic topography has occurred. Also, tectonic activities have been continuing actively in the region and the results of this continuation, takes attention apparently. Besides this, fluvial conditions? effects have been also observed in the investigation area. In this regard, it is understood that there is monogenic topography. Causes and effects of these topics are investigated in a wide perspective. As consequence, results are given in tables, figures, graphics and maps with using Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) techniques.
This study consists of geo-ecological assessment of the third Bosporus Bridge which will be constructed on the Strait of Istanbul. Third Bosporus Bridge construction is widely discussed in public. I aim to make a contribution to the debate scientifically via geographic perspective with this master thesis. The research area covers third bridge on the Bosporus and its hinterland in the İstanbul as a part of the North Marmara Motorway and to the Bosporus Project. Fundamental issues such as the third bridge and motorway routes, natural environment features for example geology, geomorphology, hydrography, soil, vegetation are evaluated in this location. As a result, positive contributions and negative effects of the third Bosporus Bridge are analyzed with a wider perspective and the relations between humans and the environment are evaluated in this regard without extreme environmental determinism.
The aim of this study investigates the elements of hydrography in Istanbul. Working mainly consists of three parts. In the first chapter, in investigated of the structure underground waters and resources and evaluated the relationships between structure and lithological exit locations. under groundwater and springs transferred to on the map and shown locations. In the second part of Istanbul drinking water that form the basis rivers and lakes put forward in detail. In the third part the seas were discussed. Marmara Sea, the Black Sea and the Bosphorus were discussed and tried to explain briefly. Inventory of the elements that make up the basic purpose of the study hydrography tried to put existing Istanbul. Therefore, the available resources, wells, rivers and lakes, seas and explained. The boundaries of the study area include the whole of the city of Istanbul. Located in Istanbul, rivers basin level was discussed. Streams: Black Sea , Marmara and the Bosphorus as part of water separated. Other than that, taken as separate streams at the basin level. İncluded in the river basin with the basin of the lakes studied. The study examined the structure of ground waters and resources and lithological. Fresh water rivers and lakes that form the basis istanbul put forward in detail. The main of the study objective istanbul existing inventory of the elements of hydrography. therefore, the available resources, wells, rivers and lakes have been introduced. The boundaries of the study area includes the whole of the city of Istanbul. Located in Istanbul, rivers basin level were discussed. Streams Black, Marmara and the Bosphorus separated. Other than that, taken as separate streams at the basin level. Be included in the river basin with the basin of the lakes studied.
The study area is constituted by Istanbul, a city which has an ancient history and has been a global city for long periods of time and the heart of many civilizations. The alterative role human beings have played in the environment in Istanbul, a great agglomeration field, has recently started to draw some kind of attention. The basic aim of this study is to review the human-environment relationship in Istanbul where the notions of ecology, environment protection and sustainable environment have recently become a current issue in the public opinion. It thus aims to manifest a scientific line in the midst of obscure arguments.The first part of the study lays stress on the phases that human beings' alterative role in Istanbul's environment have gone through from past to present. It lays stress on the headway the population growth process has made in time and accordingly the process of Istanbul's planning, as well as its beauty and attractiveness. The second part details the subject by exemplifying human beings' alterative effect on the environment. It determines the features of Istanbul's land use such as the distribution of green areas and their change in time, and the structuring. It also analyzes the coastal geomorphology changed by human effect, the mine pits in Istanbul and their effect on the physical geography. It presents the human effect on water areas within the context of dam lakes and rivers as well as the Golden Horn project. It thusly determines the human effect on hydrography. The third part includes a survey on Istanbul residents' sensitivity, viewpoint and consciousness concerning environmental projects. The public choice is reviewed in line with environment protection and need. Key words: Istanbul, environment, human-environment relationship, the change of land
The importance gained by human-induced ecosystem issues and the problems set forth has reached a large size. One of these areas is Elmalı Dam Lake within the boundaries of the province of Istanbul. In this regard, in order to identify the problems in the study area and to determine measures to be taken towards the solution of problems, thesis work called Ecosystem Geography of Elmalı Dam Lake Basin was performed. Within this scope, the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere issues that constitute the earth systems are evaluated under separate headings. In the field of investigation, abiotic factors that shape ecosystem features as, atmospheric events and climate, atmospheric problems, atmospheric dirt, gases; rivers, lakes and their salinity, pH, total salt ratio, EC, temperature, evaporation residue, hardness, organic matter contents, chemical properties of water, physical properties of water, residual, color, turbidity, electrical conductivity, bacteria ratios and similar chemical features as well as hydrosphere elements; lithological properties; soil, rocks, landforms were evaluated. As biotic elements and factors, issues such as vegetation, human and human activities, land use features, microorganisms are discussed. The findings from these studies, views of the fields have been completed by putting forward solutions to prevent the future of the people and ecological environment to be imperiled.
The investigation area is located Ege and İç Anadolu Regions and within the boundaries of the city of Kütahya and its district of Eskişehir. Main aim of this study is to determine the properties of vegetation in the area. Which is the transition in terms of the field ecosystem features a remarkable Turkmen Mountain area. Climatic conditions on the mass, altitude and vary depending on maintenance. Although affected by this climatic conditions of the plant cover, species diversity and varies across the field in terms of distribution. The thesis consists of three parts, except parts of the introduction and result. General ecology features such as climate, geomorphology and soil characteristics, affected factors on vegetation have explained in the first section. The second section has assessed of the vegetation distribution. Relations between vegetation and human have been determined and the degree of land degradation in the field have evaluated in the third chapter. 1 / 25000 scale topographic maps, satellite images and forest Management plans, Meteorological data have used, and these data were supported by field studies.
The aim of this study is to identify young tectonic movements of Mekece - İznik - Gemlik Fault Zone. This thesis explains also tectonic features and their effects on geomorphologic properties. Literature is reviewed and maps are drawn of this study area for this purpose. This thesis is made up of three parts except for the introduction and result. Litho-stratigraphic properties were examined in the first chapter. Secondly Tectonic geomorphologic features were stated. Geomorphologic formation and development were determined in the third chapter via geologic timescale. Mekece - Iznik - Gemlik Fault Zone, with the effect of North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) compressed on the direction of E?W, stretched on the direction of N ? S, and from place to place it has been shaped under the influence of extensional regime. Mekece - Iznik - Gemlik Fault Zone is comprised of two main fault zones called Gemlik Fault Zone and the Iznik Fault Zone as well as six main faults named Mekece, Dırazali, Gürle, Orhangazi, Umurbey ve Gençali and many small faults. The topography in the stage of youth has occurred with the Pliocene and Post-Pliocene tectonic movements and shaped by young faults. The form and development of river network is associated with determined faults. Many river valleys developed in subsequent character along the fault lines. The young fault blocs and tectonic distortions resulted in Pliocene and Post-Pliocene tectonic movements that led to erosion as well as changes in the drainage streams and valley enlargement. There are polycyclic relief characteristics, different topographic properties, various landforms and a monogenic climatic region in this study area.
