Identify areas prone to landslide and vertical displacement usingRadar images (Case study: Lavasan urban area and urban margin)

Geomorphological hazards are considered as one of the environmental hazards that can be associated with many losses. Many areas, including the southern slopes of Alborz, are susceptible to a variety of geomorphological hazards, therefore, this study investigates the hazards of vertical displacement and landslides in the urban area and urban margin of Lavasan, located on the southern slopes of Alborz. This study and research was carried out in two stages, in the first step, to evaluate the vertical displacement of the region using the Sentinel radar image and SBAS time series method. In the second step, the geomorphological, geological and human parameters as well as the fuzzy logic model and ANP are used to evaluate the potential landslide prone areas. Thirdly, based on the results of the vertical displacement assessment as well as the potential assessment of landslide prone areas, hazardous areas of the study area have been identified. The results of the SBAS time series method show that the range of studies over the 3 year period has been about 12.4 mm uplift as well as 103.2 mm subsidence. Potential results of landslide-prone zones also indicate that limited northern study areas have great potential for landslides. Also the results of the evaluation of the hazardous areas in the study area indicate that the landslide susceptible areas of 30.1 km2, Areas with displacement more than 45 mm 26.27 km2 as well as landslide prone areas with displacement more than 45 mm 6.97 km2.
