This paper presents a case study of their application in a developed semi-urban/suburban area (Segovia, Spain) for land use planning purposes. The paper focuses in the information transfer process, showing how land use decision-makers, such as governments, planners, town managers, etc., can use the information developed from these maps to assist them. The paper also addresses several issues important to the development and use of this information, such as the goals of modem physiography, the types of landform-based mapping products, the problem of data management in developed areas, and the distinctions among data, interpretations, and decisions.engjournal articlehttp://www.springerlink.com/content/0364-152x/#AboutSectionopen access551.4(234.1)Land claSSificationLandform mappingTerrain analysisPhysiographyLandscapeLand use/territorial planningSegoviaGeodinámica2507 Geofísica
