First Kelakhwara village conquered and entered the municipality border in the north, its area is (32.26) Hectares, it has composed (3.2%) of the town. Its population was (223) accounting for (0.4%). In the fifth morphological phase some other villages came into the border of the town, such as Hawawan village in the east its area is (158) Hectares accounting for (7.4%). White land is also another area became part of the town in the south, east its area is (124) Hectares accounting for (6%). Mam Mahmuda village in the east, bellow the Haibasultan mountain, its area is (26.6) Hectares accounting for (1.2%).

This way at the period of researching a number of villages entered the municipality border like: Kelakhwara, Hawawan, Mam Mahmuda, Harmota and White land. their area is (433.8) Hectares accounting for (20.44%), the total area of the town is (2122.2) Hectares. There are several reasons that have impact on this phenomenon such as natural, demography, political and administration, planning, etc. in the future some other village like (Abdalan, Shila, Topzawa and Qaisari) entering the border of the municipality their area is (17012.25) Hectares. This study falls into three chapters, the first one is concerned with introducing the topics and their geographical features. The second one is about the morphological phases of conquering the research zone. The third chapter is regarding the factors and conquering the city and its influence on enlarging Koya town
