Conducting a conformity analysis helps minimize damages due to natural disasters that may occur in a city and contributes to the growth of the city in harmony with the environment. Moreover, it offers an opportunity to identify the most suitable locations for settlement by making the growth of cities increasingly controlled. In this study, the suitability of the Tekirdag city in terms of settlement was examined using the land-use conflict identification strategy model. In this context, many subgoals, objectives, and general purposes related to physical and human factors that can affect the settlement areas in the Tekirdag city are determined, and a conformity analysis is conducted. Combining the obtained outputs according to the assigned weights, the suitability levels of the Tekirdag city for residential, commercial, and industrial settlement were evaluated. According to the analysis, 24.26% of the work area is of high suitability for residential settlements, 50.19% is of low suitability for commercial units, and 47.36% is of medium suitability for industrial units. When the residential, commercial, and industrial areas were evaluated together, it was revealed that 19.80% of the Tekirdag city was highly suitable for settlement.
