Abstract
Analyzing landslide and risk management are among the important responsibilities of managers. The present study explores different features of landslide using Google earth satellite images and Geographic Information system. Case study includes landslide zone in Chahar Takhte which is located in Ardal, Chahar Mahal va Bakhtiary province. Data was collected from Google earth and digital elevation model. Maps of landslide zone, land use, topographic and landslide development were produced based on the obtained images. Results indicate that the sliding mass is located near one of Karun tributaries, and undercutting by this tributary is one of the main reasons for the occurrence of landslide. The toe of this mass discharges sediments into the river. Rotational landslide happen in alluvium, colluvium and skirts with a less than 20 degree slope, while cliffs and toe have steep slope. Other reasons for the occurrence and development of landslide includes water drainage in Naqan city, roads and irrigated agriculture. 53 percent of flows are drained in south and south west directions. Main cliff in the landslide zone is located near grade IV and V water flows. Agricultural lands, roads and even Naqan face the threat of landslide zone development.
