A digital terrain model and a 3D fly-through model of the Nigde province in central Anatolia, Turkey were generated and quantitatively
analyzed employing the shuttle radar topographic mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM). Besides, stream drainage patterns,
lineaments and structural–geological features were extracted and analyzed. In the process of analyzing and interpreting the
DEM for landforms, criteria such as color and color tones (attributes of heights), topography (shaded DEM and 3D fly-through
model) and stream drainage patterns were employed to acquire geo-information about the land, such as hydrologic, geomorphologic,
topographic and tectonic structures. In this study, the SRTM DEM data of the study region were experimentally used for both
DEM classification and quantitative analysis of the digital terrain model. The results of the DEM classification are: (1)
low plain including the plains of Bor and Altunhisar (20.7%); (2) high plain including the Misli (Konakli) plain (28.8%);
(3) plateau plain including the Melendiz (Ciftlik) plateau plain (1.0%); (4) mountain including the Nigde massif (33.3%);
and (5) high mountain (16.2%). High mountain areas include a caldera complex of Mt Melendiz, Mt Hasan and Mt Pozanti apart
from the Ala mountains called Aladaglar and the Bolkar mountains called Bolkarlar in the study region (7,312 km2). Analysis of both the stream drainage patterns and the lineaments revealed that the Nigde province has a valley zone called
Karasu valley zone (KVZ) or Nigde valley zone (NVZ), where settlements and agricultural plains, particularly the Bor plain
in addition to settlements of the Bor town and the central city of Nigde have the most flooding risk when a heavy raining
occurs. The study revealed that the NVZ diagonally divides the study region roughly into two equal parts, heading from northeast
to southwest. According to the map created in this study, the right side of the NVZ has more mountainous area, where the Aladaglar
is a wildlife national park consisting of many species of fauna and flora whereas the left side of the NVZ has more agricultural
plain, with exception of a caldera complex of Mt Melendiz and volcanic Mt Hasan. The south of the study region includes the
Bolkarlar. In addition, the Ecemis fault zone (EFZ) lying along the Ecemis rivulet, running from north to south at the west
side of the Aladaglar, forms the most important and sensitive location in the region in terms of the tectonics. 相似文献
