Geomorphology, known as a science that examines and introduces landforms and the processes in charge oftheir creation, deals principally with the topographical features of the Earth’s surface and it is concerned with theclassification, description and origin of landforms. In many cases, geomorphologists have tried to modelgeomorphological processes, and, more recently, some have been concerned with the effect of human agency on suchprocesses. One of the most promising systems used for geomorphological applications is the GIS. It, known as acomputer based system for mapping and analyzing spatial data, is a tool for working with geographic information. Inthis study, the GIS has been used to investigate the geomorphological characteristics of Sanliurfa (SE Turkey) and itssurrounding. The geomorphological structures of study area are high erosion surfaces in the northern, southwestern andwestern parts and slightly sloping floor levels in the south and southeast sections. The geomorphological map of theregion was prepared within the scope of the study. In addition, numerical elevation model image, view map and slopemap were obtained from the analyzes of the GIS.
