Linear Parameters Causing Landslides: A Case Study of Distance to the Road, Fault, Drainage

Abstract

Choosing the right parameters for the study area is a compelling process. Parameters provide different results when applied to different areas, and some of these parameters can be evaluated generally, while others reflect the characteristics and properties of the areas. A comprehensive literature study was conducted for this purpose. By conducting this study, only the studies in which the distance to the road, drainage and fault were effective in the formation of landslides were evaluated. 64 landslide areas in Turkey were selected for samplings used in the study. Literature research and case studies were compared, and the effects of the distance from the road, fault and drainage on landslides were investigated. Landslide-prone areas were determined according to the classification ranges for the parameters. The classification ranges were selected according to the literature. This study, which is different from the examples in the literature, was carried out in the form of comprehensive literature research and a comparison of analyzes.
