THE STUDY OF LANDSLIDES IN THE NAKHCHIVAN AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC BASED ON THE STATISTICAL FREQUENCY RATIO METHOD

Abstract

A methodological approach has been developed for the geospatial analysis of landslide resili- ence in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic using satellite and ground-based data. Within this methodology, the systematic mapping and assessment of various factors determining landslide sus- ceptibility, including slope steepness, slope aspect, elevation zones, river basins, and vegetation in- dex, have been carried out. As a result of the study, it was found that the territory of the autonomo- us republic falls within the main active landslide zones. The high risk of landslides in these zones poses a potential threat to the region's infrastructure and population. The analysis emphasizes the importance of developing appropriate strategic measures and monitoring systems to reduce the li- kelihood of landslide occurrences. Thus, the obtained results provide essential information for en- hancing safety measures in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.
