Landform classification using Topography Position Index Case Study: Hakan Watershed, Jahrom City

Authors

Abstract:

Landform is a complication of land or landscape the establishment of which is formed by natural processes that can be described and defined by diagnosis index and if detected, the Landform information about their structure and composition, texture or its integrated offers. Landform variety and diversity of participants, mainly by changing the shape and position of the controls placed. So, classify and identify different areas according to their morphologic characteristics is essential. This study attempts to classify different Landform in the Hakan Watershed, Jahrom City. This research is Descriptive - analysis based on quantitative methods, field and modeling software Where the TPI method were used for the identification and classification of Landforms the study area. The model input data, including slope, curvature width, curvature minimum and maximum curvatures. The results of the study showed that the morphological classification of the study area includes 10 Landform (stream, mid-stream valleys, drainage, high, u-shaped valleys, plains, small, open slopes, steep upper edge high, middle edge of the slope, the high ridge, mountain).

The Influence of landform, Terrain Shape Index and Aspect Slop on the Structural Distribution of Mixed Stands in the Arasbaran Forest by Ordination Method (Case Study: Kaleybarchay Watershed)

The forest structure and stand composition are controlled by several physiographic factors, because these factors play an important role in control the physical and chemical conditions of the environment, including access to light, soil moisture, and nutrients. In this study, the physiographic characteristics indices of the study area including landform index, terrain shape index and aspect slo...

Automated classification of landform elements using object-based image analysis

This paper presents an automated classification system of landform elements based on object-oriented image analysis. First, several data layers are produced from Digital Terrain Models (DTM): elevation, profile curvature, plan curvature and slope gradient. Second, relatively homogenous objects are delineated at several levels through image segmentation. These object primatives are classified as...

Estimating the Available Water in the Watershed using System Dynamics Hydrological Model (Case Study: Ilam Watershed)

Hydrological models provide water managers with the available amount of water in the watershed. In this paper, we firstly developed a system dynamics model to calculate the available amount of water in the watershed. Then, we defined two scenarios one of which is the development scenario describing how land use changes can affect water availability in the watershed. Next, we divided the watersh...
