Forms Due to weathering and Their Effects on Settlement, Gümü？hane Sample

Cities enlarged or dwindle according to physical environmental conditions and functions. Research explains the formation and development of forms, formed by lithology and weathering movements. The influence of these forms on the settlement and development area of the city has been examined. ？n adition to the pressure elements of these forms on the settlement have been determined and solution proposals submitted fort his problem. Hasanbey Mahallesi and its immediate surroundings, which constitute the border of our research is located east of Gümü？hane city center and right hillshade of Har？it river. Field related literature review, field observations and reviews were done in this research. Related to the area digital and cartographic materials was compiled and the digital elevation model of the research area, the geology of the research area, the slope of the research new map have been created. The geomorphological process have tried to explain by evaluating the data that obtained. And the effect on this settlement was assessed. The research area receives an average annual precipitation of 461.1 mm and the average annual temperature of the area is 9.6 ° C. The climate of research area is shows semi-arid, slightly damp, mesotermal, over-water winter season and moderate to near-sea climate features characteristics. Brown forest soils are dominant in map whicw the large soil groups of research area. However, soil cover has risen in many places for the land was exposed to very severe erosion. There are not many plant varieties in the area of reserach. The reserach area has a structure is formed granite bedrock. This structure is called Gümü？hane granite. ？t occurs that advanced crack systems that highly sensitive to weathering. The geographical features should be taken into consideration when planning the research area. Especially, measures should be taken in on the sides of the road on sloping hillshade. Retaining walls must be made in some areas. Structure must be stabilized that concrete extrusion worked in risky segments area
