Site effect investigation is necessary as an effective factor in the amplitude of earthquake waves in urban areas with multiple infrastructures. Using the geophysical methods needs time and made high costs, so they can be saved by investigating the geomorphologic structures. Today's expansion of cities made geomorphological studies impossible. Historical aerial photos were used to see more detailed and quantitative zoning studies of the city-covered lands. The purpose of this research is primary zoning of site effect on the Urmia city using geomorphological structure derived from aerial photogrammetry. Processing 1:50000 scale aerial photos that were taken in 1334 has led to the production of orthophoto-mosaics and 3D elevation models that have been used for the identification and zoning of Quaternary geomorphological units. Zoning is produced by combining this map with the sedimentological information of the boreholes, which simplifies the task of designing and interpreting geophysical surveys.
