Bozburun Peninsula (Marmaris) attracts attention because it contains various karstic shapes on limestones belonging to different periods and it is also an important area in terms of tectonic activity. This study examines the area sizes of the karstic shapes determined by satellite images, topographic maps and field studies, the elevations, slopes, depth value ranges and extensions where they are clustered and the fault lines affecting them have been determined. In order to explain this effect quantitatively, the elongation ratio (RE) and elongation direction (EA α) from morphometric shape indices were used. Poljes, on the other hand, were evaluated in more detail separately from dolines and uvalas, the pitting rates (PR) was calculated. It was understood that in this study which Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies and field observations were correlated, folds and fractures that occurred in the Western Taurus Karst Region during the paleotectonic and neotectonic periods had a positive effect on karstification, and it was determined the lie of the karstic shapes to a great extent resemblance to the lie of the faults.
