The study of landslides in the Nakhchivan autonomous Republic based on the statistical frequency ratio method
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A methodological approach has been developed for the geospatial analysis of landslide resilience in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic using satellite and ground-based data.Within this methodology, the systematic mapping and assessment of various factors determining landslide susceptibility, including slope steepness, slope aspect, elevation zones, river basins, and vegetation index, have been carried out.As a result of the study, it was found that the territory of the autonomous republic falls within the main active landslide zones.The high risk of landslides in these zones poses a potential threat to the region's infrastructure and population.The analysis emphasizes the importance of developing appropriate strategic measures and monitoring systems to reduce the likelihood of landslide occurrences.Thus, the obtained results provide essential information for enhancing safety measures in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.
