Medium-scale engineering- and environmental-geology mapping of the perth metropolitan region, Western Australia
Abstract The need to present geological information in a form usable by planners, administrators, and the general public, prompted the preparation of medium-scale geology maps for the Perth Metropolitan Region. The thematic map approach is used to identify map units on the basis of lithology, morphology, slope category, hydrogeology, hydrography and soil and rock properties. The individual thematic maps are combined to delineate the map units: these are then assigned attributes of environmental significance. Their capabilities are evaluated in relation to human activities and land use practices. An information matrix presents geological data relevant to selected land uses. Attention to the geological factor in the formulation of land use planning policies allows optimum use of an area's natural resources with acceptable environmental impact.
