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.
