Description
Summary:In the Aegean Region, Denizli Babadağ district is an active landslide site. Babadağ has been known as a "disaster zone" by public institutions since 1941. Babadağ's Gündoğdu District was declared a "Disaster Exposed Zone" by the decision of the Council of Ministers on 06/02/2007 and numbered 11684. For this reason, this study was carried out in order to reveal both the current landslide situation and landslide sensitivity of Babadağ district. In order to detect landslide sensitivity, 12 parameters were based and GIS-based maps were created based on them. With AHP Template software developed by SCB Associates Ltd, landslide sensitivity analysis of Babadağ district was carried out using weight and sensitivity formulas of parameters. As a result of landslide analysis, very low, low, medium, high and very high sensitive landslide areas were detected. As a result of the determination; Babadağ district, 46.02% of the total area (56.47 km2) "medium sensitivity" while the settlements were found to have a "high sensitivity" rating. For this reason, due to Babadağ landslide directly occur in county town settlement, in next landslide, settlement areas are in danger of landslide. Due to the physical geography characteristics suitable for landslides, it has been revealed that work on landslide hazards and risks should be continued in residential areas and infrastructure works.
