Abstract: This pape- discusses the application of integrated physical geography to montane terrain management.Based upon the author’s experience, the paper takes the montane areas of western Hubei Province as examples. It shows the application of integrated physical geography to the design of agriculture, industry, ecosystems and tourist sites in montane areas:1. It lays a scientific foundation for the design of commercial montane agricultural bases by exposing the structure of agricultural lands for a special purpose.2. It provides a scientific base for the design of montane industrial structures and layouts as well as the appraisal of the location of industrial bases by dividing the regions of industrial resources and evaluating the engineering quality of industrial lands.3. It lays a necessary bases for the ecological design of montane catchment areas by land differentiation and ecologic-economic value.4. It may help the design of tourist sites by the classification of tourist lands and the functional division of tourist areas.
