Abstract

Abstract: The current study started from a basic concept in foreign writings on the study of Geomorphosites, where the study aims to reveal the geomorphological features of the site of the city of Galala with the aim of determining to what extent it is considered a Geomorphosites? and whether man was able to take advantage of the geomorphological value that characterizes the location of the city to achieve its goals in a manner that preserves On this site as a geomorphological heritage?, the study dealt with a presentation of the geological, climatic and geomorphological features that characterize the study area. The area was evaluated in terms of geomorphology and the geomorphological implications of the nature of human exploitation of the area The study also dealt with the human role as a geomorphological factor, with an assessment of the human exploitation of the site in order to determine the degrees of safety and hazards associated with the nature of this exploitation. The study used a number of data sources represented in some topographic and geological maps, digital maps and the digital elevation model. The study ended with a number of important results, including that the site of the city of Galala has many elements that promote it to be a Geomorphosites where a number of criteria have been applied that reveal The extent of its geomorphological value, and the results concluded that the site has a value of 70.27%.
