Abstract

Mapping remnant surfaces is essential in geomorphologic research because it al- lows us to deduce the surface-forming processes. Compared to the traditional methods, the suggested GIS-based method is an effective, faster, and more objective way of geomorpho- logical mapping. However, the prerequisites of the applicability and reliability of the GIS method have not been fully examined yet. The study compared the results of traditional and GIS-based geomorphological mapping in a pilot area by analyzing the histograms of absolute and relative elevation and the slope conditions of remnant surfaces. It can be concluded that despite its errors, the GIS-based method yielded satisfactory results, showing the locations of these remnants similarly to the traditional map.
