Monitoring and zonatione mass movements hazards in the Ardabil - Sarcham

Ardabile-Sarcham newly constracted road alone with Ardabile-Mianeh railway now underconstraction is the shortest communication highway of Ardabile province with the capital via Tabrize-Theran freeway.This road can potentially serve as a main touristic road the western and southwestern provinces as well as zanjan provinces . Mountainous slopes with unconsolidated lithological compositions escarpment rocky unstable predominant on the road , because of the nature of this dynamics are affected by numerous factors, of which naturals and human causes to this two road has always been exposed to a variety of environmental hazards that mass movement , especially the landslide and rockfall are the most common. Monitoring and mass movements hazard zonation, the main objective is of the present study.To do this have been used from quantitative way the chi-squre method . First,by using aerial photographs 1:20000 , the geologyical maps 1:100000 and fields studies, landslide distribution map was prepared. In order of enhance the accuracy and easy of analysis and description of spatial information such as : lithology layer , structural marks , slope and vegetation and etc were digitalized. For statistical analysis have used spss16 software. Then in order to calibrate the sensivity of the net work units to landslide , a map final is drawn . In the final step on thee field survey , and the model has been assessed zoning map and strategies for dealing with it are proposed.
