    Abstract:

    Natural disasters have been the most important cause of human concern at all times. Landslides are one of the most important natural disasters, which cause financial and human losses every year, which creates problems in the implementation of construction projects. This research is to investigate the effective factors in creating landslides and the prevention strategies of this natural disaster in the northern region of Hashtjin, which is important in environmental, rural and urban planning. He conducted field studies by preparing the landslide registration certificate for 24 landslides and by preparing a geological map at a scale of 1:50000 and a manual landslide distribution map and preparing topographic maps, direction of slope, vegetation, satellite image, he continued the research and obtained statistical data from the Agricultural Research Center and the website of the Provincial Meteorological Department, then with statistical studies and data analysis using gridding and Spss16 software, he achieved results and analyzed the effective factors. and analyzed that it is debatable. Also, Excel software has been used to prepare charts and some maps from geographic information system with ArcGIS and ArcMap software, Ocr Tools software has been used to scan landslide birth certificates. At the end, the zoning map was prepared with a statistical method and the solutions to prevent possible risks from landslides were examined and suggestions were presented at the end of the research.

    Key words: landslide, range movement, GIS, zoning, regression, Hashtjin. Diverse geological and climatic conditions mainly have special natural conditions for creating a wide range of landslides (Map 1-1).

    Landslides in Iran, as one of the natural disasters, cause a lot of human and financial losses to the country every year. If we consider the possibility of other natural disasters occurring from time to time, the potential of landslides in the country should be considered at any moment. According to an initial estimate, 500 billion rials of financial damages are imposed on the country through landslides every year, and this is if the loss of natural resources is not taken into account (Kamak Panah 2013). This phenomenon every year in most regions of the country causes economic damage to communication routes, railway lines, power transmission lines, irrigation and water supply channels, mining facilities, extraction facilities, oil and gas refining, the network of vital arteries inside cities, factories and industrial centers, artificial and natural dams and lakes, forests and pastures and natural resources, farms and residential areas and villages, or threatens them.

    Overview:

    - Theoretical foundations of the research

    - Geographical location of the research area

    - Analysis of topographical data

    A- Theoretical foundations of the research (research process):

    - Introduction:

    Man in many fields of his activity, especially civil, economic and social issues And natural resources are facing the problem of domain instability. When the stability of a slope is lost, different types of mass movements may occur. Landslides and other movements have attracted human attention as much as other uncontrollable natural phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, or floods, because they threaten life and property and cause irreparable damage to structures, facilities, and natural resources. The occurrence of landslides may be influenced by human activities such as deforestation and the implementation of illegal constructions.

    From what was said above, it can be concluded that the study of the phenomenon of landslides is both theoretically and practically important. As a general assessment of damages and landslides in the world shows that the loss of life and money caused by them is more than other natural disasters.

    Problem statement:

    As it was said, landslides in Iran, as one of the natural disasters, cause a lot of life and financial losses to the country every year (Map 1-1).

    This research was conducted in order to investigate the effective factors in landslides in the region and to use its results in various planning such as development of constructions, agriculture, economic activities, preservation of soil and environmental resources, etc. There are a lot of landslides in the north of Hashtajin, and their number increases every year, but in this research, only a limited number of landslides were identified and analyzed with desert and statistical studies using computer software by regression method. By preparing a landslide risk map, the extent of their impact on buildings has been evaluated, and according to the type of factors affecting the occurrence of landslides in the region and the damage caused to natural and artificial resources, practical and suitable solutions will be proposed to reduce their direct and indirect damages. In the investigation of the landslide phenomenon, the hypothesis is raised that what are the effective factors, especially climatic factors, in this matter in the past and present, and can they be effective in causing landslides in the future, and the basic causes of the instability of slopes and landslides What is it? The second question is, what effect did the occurrence of these movements have on the buildings in the area and how does it affect environmental planning? Therefore, the study of slope movements and landslides helps us in evaluating how to optimally use land and susceptible areas that have potential facilities and conditions for development planning and determines the appropriate location in environmental planning. Earthquake and the earth's tensile force are called landslides (Jaafari 1379), which are divided into two types: single and wide: Single landslide: - Single landslide is a mass of soil and rock, usually all its parts move downwards in a certain time or time range, and its range is known.       

    - Widespread landslide:

    Areas with small but scattered landslides that affect a large area of ??the domain. The difference between these sliding movements and individual landslides is the problem of distinguishing a precise and specific range for them.

    - Rock: hard and rigid stone materials that were naturally in place before the movement, it is said that it forms part of the rock. weak, are solid particles consisting of grains (rocks or minerals) that are loose and loose, along with air bubbles or interparticle fluids. (Jaafari 1379)

    - Rotational slip:

    The relatively slow movement of a block or cohesive blocks of earth, stone or their mixture along a characteristically arc-shaped fault surface is called rotational slip. The obvious characteristic of rotational landslides is their relatively rotational and rotational rupture surface. Transfer landslides: Generally, rotational landslides have occurred on slopes that have clay deposits, extreme formations of altera, and rock or soil along the characteristic plate-shaped rupture surface, called transitional landslides. Transfer slips occur along layering surfaces, faults, cracks, or fissures that are roughly parallel to the Earth's surface.

    - Movement:

    Movement includes shear deformation and displacement along one or more surfaces. The slips themselves can be in the form of rotational, translational or combined slips, and the distinction between them is very important in stability analysis and control method design. (Jaafari 1379)

    3- Objectives and necessity of the research:

    The main objectives of this research were to investigate and identify the causes of landslides and determine the vulnerable areas for development planning, in line with these objectives, the following objectives can also be achieved. Geomorphology, technology, distribution of landslides, vegetation, slope direction, slope angle, etc.

    2) Identifying the necessity and importance of developing geological and geomorphological studies and investigations in prone areas for environmental development planning.
