Evaluating and comparing the performance of Frequency ratio coefficient models and network analysis in Rock fall zoning (A case study of Zanjan-Taham-Tarom Road) Extended Abstract One of the natural hazards of the collapse of rocks from the foothills of the mountains, causing great financial losses and loss of life. Especially when it comes to the path of communication. The rock fall is a ...

In recent years, Iran has faced serious water scarcity and excessive use of water resources. Therefore, exploring the pattern of urban water consumption and the relationships between geographic and demographic parameters and water usage is an important requirement for effective management of water resources. In this study, association rule mining has been used to analyze the data of municipal w...

During the construction of road networks large area of forests and rangelands will be destroyed in the road path and its margins. This process causes massive amount of soil and rock move from its site and on adjacent lands will be accumulated, that causes increasing environmental degradation. One of the most important problems due to forest roads making is increasing of different erosion forms ...

Dust emission and sand mobilization are the common natural hazards in desert roads of Iran, which originate from geomorphological facies of road margin. In this study, the geomorphological units of Yazd-Meybod road margin were distinguished, and the samples were taken from these facies as origin area while roads sediment as the transition area of sediments. The samples were analyzed using morph...

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...

The road network is an important element for sustainable forest ecosystem management. On the other hand, efficiency and quality of road design can be improved by considering of environmental and technical principles. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the capability of Arasbaran protected area for road passing and communication routes in order to use in the area management. For th...

Landslide is one of the destructive phenomena of natural resources and threatens the sustainability of forest roads. The purpose of this study is to determine the zoning of land risk for the stability of forest roads using the process of analyzing the hierarchy in the GIS. The final zoning map of landslide hazard based on the combination of different maps and main criteria of topography, vegeta...

Development of roads through protected areas and ecological sensitive regions can have catastrophic effects on wildlife. In Iran, road construction in sensitive habitats and protected areas has been expanding during the past decades. This study focuses on the ecological impacts of Isfahan’s west ringway, which passes through Ghamishloo wildlife refuge, I.U.C.N category IV, in Isfahan Province. ...
