The systems theory and its general approach rapidly extend into the geomorphology field, changing the knowledge structure and mode of thinking of geomorphologists. So a new grow-ing point-SYSTEMS GEOMORPHOLOGY is more and more revealing with strong vitality.From the point of view of systems and control system theory, it will deal with the feedback me-chanism between landform texture with its material constituents and natural environment and socio-economic environment, thus bringing to light the structure, function, and rule of evolu-tion of geomorphic systems and establishing process-response models for a variety of landscapes formed from area differentiation respectively. It will provide the scientific basis for adopting optimum interfacing of "natural" Physico-ecological and "human" Socio-economic systems ma-ke decision to rational use of natural resource and establish optimum model of regional deve-lopment.
