One of the most important problems in rural areas is that the regions are opened to use without planning. In this context, first of all, it is obligatory to determine, plan and then use the available resource values of all regions. Thus, these areas can be developed with a sustainable approach while preserving the resource values. In recent years, rural areas rich in natural and cultural resources are rapidly gaining new functions. Ecological planning is very important in terms of conservation and utilization of these areas. In this context, Karabiga is a rural coastal area and its use with thermal power plants is rapidly changing and resource values are threatened. The study was carried out to ensure the development of the natural and cultural resources of the Karabiga region. In this study, for this purpose, field uses which can be used as data for planning were determined. Karabiga town located on the Dardanelles Strait is a commercial importance port settlement. The town is located on the shores of the Anatolian lands to the south of the Marmara Sea. The region has witnessed very ancient civilizations in the historical process between Anatolia and Europe. Biga settlement is the most populous province in the province of Canakkale. Karabiga town is connected Biga and also rich in fertile agricultural land and is referred to as the address of fertility in antiquity. The method of study is to examine the natural environmental factors of the area with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). For this purpose, ArcGIS 10.5 program was used. In this study, the existing land uses of Karabiga and its surroundings are presented with a map and the area is classified according to STATIP land use classification method. As a result of the study, suggestions were made for the development of the region in order to protect the natural and cultural resources of the region. In order to provide comprehensive protection in the region, rural landscape protection approach has been proposed Keywords: Karabiga, landscape, planning, GIS, natural and cultural resources
