Identifying faults and revealing their characteristics are of great importance in terms of determining natural disaster risks, safe city infrastructure, stability of large engineering structures, groundwater and mineral zones. Faults form distinctive linear structures on the earth and these are usually easily distinguishable from the surface. Identification, mapping and related field studies of faults require a labor-intensive work. Aerial photographs, digital elevation models and aerial images are used to reduce the intensity of fieldwork and to detect the structural integrity of the larger area. There are not only faults in the land, but also many different linear structures such as roads, railroads and man-made fences that form a contrast. Remote sensing images are widely used in the detection and analysis of these lineaments. In this study, lineament analyzes were carried out using filtering, principal component analysis (PCA), band ratio and false color composite displaying, result linearity map and automatic lineament extraction methods on Landsat-7 (ETM+) satellite images as the basis. The results obtained were compared with the data obtained from field studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
