From the beginning of their lives, human beings have been constantly faced with geomorphic threats, and these risks have led to human and financial losses in human habitats, especially in cities and villages, for human societies. One of these risks is earthquakes. According to a report by the United Nations Planning Office in 2002, Iran ranked first among the countries in the world in terms of ...

Landslide as a natural hazard is very dangerous especially in mountainous areas that result in loss of human life and property around the world. Iran is always exposed to landslide hazard especially in the north and west because of climatic and topographic conditions. The aim of this research is prioritization of landslide-conditioning factors and its landslide susceptibility mapping in the par...

The field of natural hazards research has a rich history in geography, appropriately so because it involves conflicts between physical processes and human systems. Natural events occur without direct human effect and endanger his social life. Events that enforce average annual up to 150000 human damages and more than 140 milliard dollars financial damages on counties and especially developing c...

Investigating the factors affecting the occurrence of mass movements, help to identify sensitive areas and providing solutions and ways to control and proper management, partly to prevent the occurrence of mass movements. This research tried to recognize the factor affecting the occurrence of mass movements in the Forest Park Abidar watershed. In this research, information layers including lith...

Distance relays are widely used to protect transmission lines. Sometimes, in these lines due to the occurrence of the oscillation of the power, the impedance calculated in the distance relay enters into its functional zones and leads to the cutting off of the lines. This issue can cause global power outages. Accordingly, in this paper, a Clark-based method for detecting the oscillation of power...

Abstract In this research, Geophysical methods Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) and Geoelectric have been used to detect hidden Quaternary faults in alluvial sediments located southwest of Chitgar Forest Park (District 22 of Tehran). The study of profiles (GPR) identified areas such as fault. The results obtained from two Geoelectric profiles indicate that there are two zones with low electrical...

Today, in view of the growing population and population density in urban areas, especially in densely populated and susceptible cities, the need for an inclusive and comprehensive approach to natural disasters and disasters caused by their occurrence has become more evident . Focusing more than the size of the population in specific urban areas, lack of preventive planning and lack of readiness...

Watersheds are changed positively or negatively as biotic and abiotic factors in natural circumstances impact them. Landslides, as a physical factor, one of the negative consequences on these catchments. Masoleh watershed, in North of Iran, is one of the susceptible areas to explode the natural landslides. In other to landslide hazard zonation, the Dempster-Shafer model is which is used has 14 ...

Mass movements are usually natural erosion, but the human can aggravate it by operations such as mining, road construction and destroying the natural vegetation. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of landslides by using a probabilistic model Weight of Evidence and Geography Information System in the Siyahbisheh Watershed. 132 landslide points are ide...
