Landslide susceptibility mapping is essential for land use planning and decision-making especially in the mountainous areas. The main objective of present research is to produce landslide hazard zonation at Sarkhoun basin in Karoon basin using two statistical models such as an index of Shannon’s entropy and weight of evidence and to assess the obtained results. At the first stage, landsli...

Landslide is considered one of the greatest natural hazards that causes high damage direct or indirect financial every year. One of the areas prone to natural factors in the occurrence of this watershed and from the North Country. One of the occurs Susceptible areas in watershed vaz. Landslide hazard zonation map was prepared by using AHP and 6 certainly factor, landslide index, weight factor, ...

Introduction Geomorphological hazards posed as a potentially harmful phenomenon that most important ones are mass movements and landslides. The occurrence of natural hazards (including landslide) has imposed the serious impact on countries’ economic development, especially the third world countries. One of the most important tasks of applied Geomorphology, is to check the position and ...

Today, urban and regional issues related to sustainable development is a key challenge for policy-makers, planners and specialists in various disciplines. Geomorphologic studies can be useful and effective in analyzing and deriving acceptable means to assess the growth and development of the city, and to set criteria to determine the directions of urban development.    Landslides ran...

This research was conducted to prepare landslide susceptibility zonation (LSZ) map for the Dez-e-Ouliabasin using logistic regression model. For this purpose, at first, the most important factors affecting land sliding including slope, aspect, elevation, precipitation, the distance from road, the distance from fault, the distance from drainage, land use, and lithology were determined. Then, the...

Identification of susceptible areas to landslide occurrence is one of the basic measures for reduction of the possible risk and hazard management. The main goal of this research is to compare the applicability of two statistical landslide hazard zonation models, valuing area accumulation and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP),in Ziarat Watershed, Gorgan, Golestan Province.In a review of previou...
