Abstract

 Text Landslides are one of the types of large-scale processes that cause many human and financial losses in many parts of Iran and the world every year. The increase in population and the expansion of human settlements in mountainous areas, the difficulty of predicting the occurrence of landslides and the numerous factors influencing the occurrence of this phenomenon, reveal the necessity of landslide risk zoning. Identifying the effective factors in the occurrence of this phenomenon and its risk zoning is one of the basic and practical methods to achieve its forecasting, control and monitoring solutions. By using field studies, geological and topographical maps, and by reviewing the researches and studies done in this field, as well as examining the existing conditions in the studied area, 9 factors of elevation, slope, slope direction, lithology, distance from the fault. , the distance from the river, the distance from the communication roads, land use and rainfall were investigated as factors affecting the occurrence of landslides. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate and analyze the most important factors involved in creating the risk of landslides in Garami city and to identify the prone areas that will probably be involved in landslides in the near future. In this research, the zoning of prone areas was done with the Aras multi-criteria algorithm in the Edrisi software environment, and according to the results of landslide risk zoning; The criteria of land use, slope, and lithology are the most important factors involved in creating the risk of landslides in the study area with weight coefficients of 0.187, 0.152, 0.152, and 0.142, respectively, and are 361.99 and 450.32, respectively. A square kilometer of the area has a very high probability of danger. Finally, it can be said that the most important factor involved in increasing the amount and potential of landslides in Germi city is the change of land use and the increase of agricultural land and livestock pastures.
