N2  - Rapid increase inpopulation results in rapid but not planned growth of residential areas andsubsequently residential areas shift from their initial position to variousrisk including regions. Natural disasters are inevitable once the cities arenot properly planned in countries like Turkey characterized with geological,geomorphological and climatological diversity. It is worthy to note thatdisaster risk profile in Turkey is very high according to the natural disastershistorical data. Of the natural disasters, rock fall is one of threats forTurkey. The definition of rock fall may be simplified as quantities of rockfalling freely from a cliff face. In order to monitor the possible andpotential rock fall risks, base maps of the study area (Kilis, Turkey) wasobtained using geographical information system (GIS) techniques and remotesensing data. The base maps were produced considering the parameters affectingthe rock fall. Finally, rock fall risk map for the region was obtained by overlappingthe maps using GIS techniques. The results exhibit that 3.22 % of the regionshas high potential risk of rock fall. Based on the results, local decisionmakers concerned with urbanization plans should consider the regions with highrock fall risks. Otherwise, the loss of life and property is inevitable asconsequences of natural disasters
