Landslides characteristics and classificationsin hashtjin area (Northwest of - Iran)
Abstract
Identification and recognition of various types of landslide in Hashtjin area
(NW-IRAN), and their specific characteristics were the main purpose of this study. The results
of this study showed that Hashtjin is of the area most susceptible to landslide in Iran wite more
than 13% its surface being affected by mass movement activity. Two categories of landslide
have been identified, single and zone landslides Active landslides make up 55% of the total
number of the landslides, and they vary in characteristics and factors. Approximately, 95% of
the damages occur in pastures and agricultural lands.
