After a general introduction into the problems of the evaluation of geomorphological assets and man and- environment relationships, the AA. discuss the relationships between geomorphology and Environmental Impact Assessment. The concept
of geomorphological asset has an inherent social implication. The integral concept of the landscape permits to offer to the political component the basic elements needed for correct and efficient choices.

During the last decades the assessment of topography for various practical purposes has brought about a new research trend, environmental geomorphology. Several methods for environmental geomorphological mapping are presented : 1) applied
engineering geomorphological (geotechnical) mapping; 2) relief assessment mapping for land use survey and land evaluation; 3) relief assessment mapping for the allocation of various facilities (for instance, small reservoirs, garbage or toxic waste disposal

Conventional, genetic geomorphological mapping supplemented with morphometric data allows the application of these maps for the study of changes in geoecological pattern and land use. The example of the test area, delimited in the traditional wine
This study assesses the future long term stability of the Ranger Uranium Mine area by examining the past (Quaternary) evolution of landforms in the vicinity of the mine. Five categories of geomorphological stability are recognised on the basis
of the type and intensity of past and present geomorphological (erosional/depositional) processes. The oldest land surfaces are judged to be the most stable and consequently the best suited as sites for rehabilitated structures, as they have survived Holocene

This paper offers a broad-based view of recent work, and shows how geomorphological survey and analysis have contributed significantly to land use planning in a number of areas, but particularly in the fields of coastal zone management, urban
development, water resource exploitation and environmental conservation. Selected examples are used to illustrate specific approaches, techniques and results. The study concludes that demand for geomorphological expertise in land use planning is likely

Following a detailed description of the main parameters (geological, lithological, geomorphological and anthropogenic) which influence or cause slope instability, the first results of researches on landslides, including an analysis of a wide
