Investigating the Stability of the Hill of the Acropolis of Athens, Greece, Using Fuzzy Logic and Remote Sensing Techniques

The main objective of this study was to investigate the stability Acropolis Hill, Greece, by developing a Rock Instability Model (RIM) based on fuzzy logic and remote sensing techniques. RIM aimed identify locations rock formations Hill that will potentially have instability issues due action geomorphological factors, weathering erosive processes. Six factors including lithology, slope angle, density discontinuities, faults, surface runoff elements, orientation stratigraphy geological in relation were considered as most appropriate for implementing proposed novel approach, with each variable classified weighted simple additive weighting method. Lithology angle significant variables contributed overall Hill. outcomes model verified data field observation, showing an agreement high accuracy. From satellite analysis, it concluded entire minor displacement rates recorded, probably because extensive mitigation measures consolidation works established recent past. Overall, highlighted ability methodology be used alternative investigation tool instability-related assessments valuable land use planning development, helping reduce anticipated losses highly susceptible zones.
