Landslides are among the most damaging natural hazards in mountainous regions. In this study, landslide hazard zonation was conducted in the Baba Heydar Watershed using logistic statistical regression to determine landslide hazard areas. First, a landslide inventory map was prepared using aerial photograph interpretation and field surveys. Next, ten landslide conditioning factors including alti...

the efficiency of three statistical models, ahp surface-weighted density bivariate (semi-quantitative models), stepwise multivariate regression and logistic multivariate regression models were compared in chehel-chai watershed in golestan province, iran. in current study the hazard map was prepared according to the top model of landslide hazard map. chehel-chai watershed is located as one of go...

in this research, the applicability of geographic information system (gis) and remote sensing (rs) techniques was tested to assess soil erosion risk with the icona erosion model. this study was carried out in the tange bostanak area because of its variety of diverse landforms, land uses and land covers. the erosion risk assessment phase of this model consists of seven steps that mainly use slop...

wildfire in forests and rangelands, apart from its initiating causes, is considered as an ecological disaster. zoning natural areas according to their susceptibility to fire helps to put off operations and reduces catastrophic losses caused through a wise management plan. in this study, the zoning map of wildfire risk in forest and rangeland areas has been produced using gis, analytical hierarc...

soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in vazroud watershed, which is located in the centre of the mazandaran province, iran. unfortunately, vazroud watershed like most iran watersheds don’t have recorded data and erosion and sedimentation gages to research, monitor and model soil erosion at large watershed. in order to assess the soil erosion risk, soil erosion modeling at the watersh...

The efficiency of three statistical models, AHP surface-weighted density bivariate (semi-quantitative models), stepwise multivariate regression and logistic multivariate regression models were compared in Chehel-Chai watershed in Golestan province, Iran. In current study the hazard map was prepared according to the top model of landslide hazard map. Chehel-Chai watershed is located as one of Go...

conflagration of forests and rangelands is one of the most frequent events in iran. it is regarded as one of the most important parts of land degradation that occurred due to range destruction and desertification. this study was conducted in boroujerd, lorestan province in west of iran in 2013 to determine the fire risk model. the data prepared for the study area involved the vegetation types, ...
