nowadays, occurrence of mass movement in the northern forests ofiran, especially in the golestan province is turning to be a usual phenomenon. because of decay of vegetation cover, prediction of landslide occurrence will prevent its damages. landslide hazard zonation is a suitable way in this case. selection of the best model is a way to decrease costs and time. consequently, land slide hazard ...

it is very important to recognize the areas with high potential risk of landslide in order to resist that. in a case study, thirty three landslides have been observed in safarood watershed. the purpose of this study is to recognize factors and zonation of potential areas for landslide. this paper covers specific factors including lithology, fault, height, slope, direction, rainfall, soil, veget...

This paper presents a new approach of landslides zonation hazard studies, based on an integrated study of structural data along with geomorphological and external factors, in a hilly regions of Brazil, covered by a tropical humid rain-forest, called Serra do Mar. The Serra do Mar consists of a hilly region along the east coast of Brazil, with high slopes and many geological structures in a gnei...

The degree of hazard due to landslide in any region is difficult to assess manually. An automated system having capability to correlate causes contributing automated landslide hazard is expected to be an efficient alternative. The objective of this paper is to explain LHAZ (Landslide Hazard Automated Zonation) system, an automated system that has been developed to determine the intensity and ex...

more than 30% of iran's land is formed from mountainous areas. so each year, landslides cause damages to structures, residential areas and forests, creating sedimentation, muddy floods and finally deposit the sediments in reservoir dams. therefore, for preventing of this damages and expressing the sensitivity rate of hillslopes, landslide hazard zonation is considered in prone areas. the p...

natural hazards are among destructive agents that annually take thousands of lives and impose devastating damages in iran. spotting such a high risk areas can help reducing the amount of their probable risk. a 1:500000 liquefaction and landslide hazard zonation map developed for the southern shoreline of the caspian sea. this geotechnical hazard map divides the study area to 15 hazard classes (...
