Geomorphological Structure of Landform Characteristics as a Reference for Development Recommendations in Wadi Rum Protected Area

Research identifies Wadi Rum's geomorphological features as critical indicators for sustainable development, linking landform characteristics to ecosystem dynamics and socioeconomic activities. The study reveals that these unique landforms, shaped by millennia of morphogenesis, offer valuable insights for preserving the area's ecological integrity while guiding responsible tourism and infrastructure planning. Utilizing advanced geospatial tools like Global Mapper and AutoCAD, the research combines qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze terrain evolution and its impact on local ecosystems. By integrating geomorphological data with socioeconomic factors, the findings provide a theoretical framework to assess temporal changes and formulate recommendations that balance development needs with environmental conservation, ensuring Wadi Rum's landform characteristics are safeguarded for future generations.
