  Identifying areas with different potential to landslide occurrence is one of the primitive actions in natural resources management. In view of importance of recognizing appropriate metho d to estimate landslide, in this research, the efficiency of two methods of landslide hazard zonation including methods of Mora and Varson and Multivariate regression were compared . In this research, first, ...
