Marble factories located intensively in the district Iscehisar brought about inaccurate land use, noise and visual pollution and the solid waste problems in the county. To eliminate those environmental problem in Iscehisar caused by the marble industry, the geographical conditions of the area should be investigated in all aspects. Proper plannings consonant with the geographical conditions are necessary in order to reduce environmental problems. In this study the existing marble industry in the district is analyzed and planning recommendations about minimizing the damege to the environment are tried to develop.
