Özet: Surveys, which are the first step in the process of reaching historical ruins, are the investigation of the ground surface based observations. Considering the natural and environmental factors of the research area, it is seen that it is difficult to navigate the land and resource consumption is made in this process. Survey estimation maps can be a guide in researches, can be used as a base in studies and thus facilitate the process. Spatial criteria that were effective in the preference of the people who lived in Mersin Province Silifke District during the historical process were determined and possible priority criteria were determined in this preference. Various correction and spatial analyzes were applied to the data obtained by remote sensing technique of the region in the environment of geographical information systems, and criteria maps were created. Analytical hierarchy process was used to understand the effect levels of the criteria on the decision and their correlation with each other. The criteria for determining the effect levels of the decision were integrated with the existing maps and the archaeological survey estimation map of the Mersin Province Silifke District, which is the study area, was produced. The historical centers whose locations are known today and the possible archaeological sites observed on the forecast map were compared. With such archaeological estimation maps produced, the work of surface researchers will be easier, the work area will be narrowed and the waste of resources will be prevented. In addition, thanks to the possible archaeological zones specified by the prediction model, the protection of cultural heritage will be provided primarily in the development activities planned to be made in the region.
