In this study landslide susceptibility assessments
were evaluated using logistic regression method around the Babadağ town
extending to 1133 km2. Almost 300 slide type landslides
corresponding 44km2 were identified in the area. Some of the residential areas, agricultural
lands and lifeline systems has been severely damaged by landslides and more
than five hundreds dwellings were evacuated in the region. Among the landslide
conditioning factors; elevation, slope, plan and profile curvatures, proximity
to faults and rivers and geological maps have been prepared in Geographical
Information Systems environment with spatial resolution of 25 m The
performance of the susceptibility map when compared to the landslide inventory
revealed that high and very high susceptible zones correspond to 23 % of
the study area including 72.13% of the recorded landslides.
