Abstract
The Latian basin is situated at the north east of Iran, and has a social and economical importance for this city and its people. This territory, due to its natural conditions, has suffered from natural disasters including earthquakes, floods and land mass movements, even in recent centuries. The combination of these natural factors as the basic cause, unintelligent human intervention as an intensifying enforcer, has resulted in “landslides” in many parts of the Lityan basin. In this paper, after introducing the Lityan territory with its geographical and natural natural factors in developing the landslides, the impact of unintelligent human intervention as a reinforcing element, disturbance of the environmental balance and the impact of these landslides on the environment. This paper describes one of the geotechnical hazard assessments, landslide, in the area. A hazard zonation map for the Latian basin is established by using historical data. Key words: Landslide, land destruction, land utilization, landuse changes, hazard zonation, Lityan basin
