In this research, the method of extraction and identification of hot and cold water springs using thermal images of TM and ETM+ is investigated. The process is as follows. After taking images from the TM and + ETM sensors on different dates and implementing geometric and radiometric corrections on the images, surface temperature (LST) for the images is extracted using existing relations. Of course, this requires NDVI and emission extraction for the studied areas due to the certain effect of vegetation on surface temperature. This was carried out in TM and + ETM images using bands 3 and 4 . After the extraction of surface temperature by using limits and surface profiles in different directions and by using high pass filters, and finally matching vector layers related to the location of the springs on available images prepared by GPS during the fieldwork, the ability of TM and ETM+ images to identify the springs was evaluated. The results show that the use of images of cooler seasons has a higher priority and importance in comparison with the warmer seasons for the identification and extraction of thermal points and thermal anomalies of the surface of the earth on the images. The reverse is true for the identification of cold springs. Furthermore, the size and temperature of springs regarding their geographical location can be effective factors in identifying and separating these resources.

Mass movements zoning is one of the methods that can help to identify critical areas in terms of slope stability and to use the zoning map obtained in sustainable development planning (Karam, 2002, p. 25). The Sanandaj-Dehgolan route is considered as one of the main routes and of highest traffic in the Kurdistan province, whose transportation system in the mountainous area is threatened by mass movements. This road in the mountainous section has an unsuitable situation due to high slope of hillsides and high altitude of the area as well as the inappropriate location of the road and the consequent unsustainability of the slopes. The present study aims to determine the effective factors and elements in creating these movements using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and, based on the effect of each of these factors and elements, weigh them, and ultimately map the zoning of points sensitive to movements, and this zoning map is based on a combination of hypsometric layers, slope, slope direction, vegetation, soil type, lithology, distance from fault, distance from the road, distance from the village, drainage network density, temperature, precipitation, as well as land units and land use. Accordingly, the range was divided into four risk classes. The map was divided into four classes including very high (8.7 km2), high (28.9 km2), average (41.3 km2) and low (6.5 km2) areas of risk.
