| Abstract: |
| One of the serious dangers which threatens human communities especially those who are living in mountainous areas is the occurrence of landslides. Thus, determination of dangerous places regarding the potential of landslide occurrence is very important for avoiding establishment of residential areas or industrial facilities. The purpose of this research is to provide a landslide guidance map in order to classify earth surface in Sheshpeer sub-catchment located in Fars Province, Iran, based on the potential for landslides occurrence using an integration of remote sensing (RS) techniques and geographic information system (GIS). For this purpose, using data of OLI sensor of Landsat-8 satellite, C-SAR sensor of Sentinel-1 satellite, meteorology data and geology and topography maps; seven layers including lithology, drainage density, lineament density, vegetation cover, slope, precipitation and snow loading potential were prepared. In order to provide final map, we applied the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. Our investigations showed a high accuracy of matching between previously occurred landslides and the generated prediction map. |
