其他摘要：The volcanic relief indicating interesting features on the Earth-crust are assessed as natural heritage or monument in terms of attracting the people and is well protected. In geologic and geomorphologic literature "jeosit" and "geoparc" concepts have started to be used quite often. There are a lot of formations that can be described as pretty young and interesting geologic-geomorphologic natural monuments in and around Karacadag volcanic structure beingin Southeast Anatolain Region, which is one of the most important volcanic areas of our country. And one of these formations is Ku..u Crater being just beside Derik-Urfa-Mardin Highway, which is some 5 km in the south of Derik (Mardin) town-center.In this study the geologic and geomorphologic features of Ku..u Crater, which is a miniature and typical volcanic formation, have been defined, it has been examined in terms of natural monument criteria; and recommendations towards protecting, introducing and earning it into tourism have represented
