Each year, slope instabilities cause enormous economic damages to highway, railways, power transmission and communication lines, irrigation and watering canals, ore extraction, as well as oil and gas refining installations, infrastructures in cities, factories and industrial centers, dams, artificial and natural lakes, forests, pastures and natural resources, farms, residential areas and villages or threaten them. Nowadays, many instabilities are resulted by human intervention and manipulations. One of the effective human factors in instability occurrence is the construction of highway. Highway construction, especially in mountainous areas, increases the probability of occurrence of various types of instabilities, as it changes the natural balance of the slopes and causes deformations in the land. Each year, lots of casualties and financial losses are imposed by the occurrence of various types of instabilities in the slopes overlooking the highways, which also cause the destruction of many natural resources in the country. However, the construction of roads, highways and freeways is necessary and unavoidable in today’s life.The Tehran-North highway will be the route that connect the Iran’s capital Tehran with the southern shores of the Caspian Sea.Materials and methodsThis contribution aims to study slope instabilities along this highway using logistic regression method. In this regard, layers of 14 effective factors were identified, comprised of elevation classes, slope, aspect, geology, land use, precipitation, distance from fault, river and highway, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), climate, slope length (LS), stream power index (SPI) and topographic wetness index (TWI). Consequently, maps of the factors responsible for instabilities were prepared as separate layers in the GIS environment and transferred into the Idrisi software. The whole procedure included: (1) preparation of digital elevation model (DEM), river and fault layers based on the 1:25,000 topographic map of the area, as well as distance maps from rivers and faults, (2) creating slope and aspect maps from DEM, (3) preparation of land use and NDVI maps of the region based on unmatched classification of Landsat 8 image of OLI sensor, (4) preparation of geological map, (5) preparation of precipitation and climate layers based on the information obtained from the meteorological organization, (6) creating LS, SPI and TWI layers based on the DEM, (7) conversion of the distribution data of the regional instabilities using Landsat satellite and Google Earth images, (8) correlating the information layers with the regional instability map and calculating their density per unit area, and (9) performing the logistic regression model using Terrset software.Result and discussionResults obtained by applying logistic regression model showed that the most important factors affecting slope instabilities in the Tehran-Soleghan highway area are distance from fault and climate. 27.14% of the Soleghan highway area possesses medium to high potential for instabilities, within which 86.26% of the instabilities have occurred. Furthermore, 4.57% of the Soleghan highway area shows very high risk in terms of instability occurrence, encompassing 61% of the occurred instabilities. According to the prepared maps, the middle and southern parts and a small section in the north of the Tehran-Soleghan highway area have the highest potential for instability occurrence. The high value of the ROC index and its proximity to the end value of 1 indicates that instabilities strongly correlate with the probability values derived from the logistic regression model. Additionally, the assessment of the instability potential map by the SCAI index showed that there is a high correlation between the prepared risk maps and the occurred instabilities, which have been confirmed by field surveys. The obtained results are in a good agreement with the general opinion that SCAI decreases especially in high and very high risk classes and indicates a high correlation between the prepared risk maps and the occurred instabilities and field surveys in study areas.ConclusionFinally, it can be mentioned that the logistic regression model is suitable for preparing the zonation of the probability of instability occurrence along the edges of the studied highway. As a final conclusion, it can be concluded that in addition to natural factors, the- human-made factors and particularly unsystematic highway  construction can play an important role in the instability occurrences on the slopes overlooking the highway  and in order to reduce the relative risks and increase the stability of the slopes, it is necessary to avoid manipulating the ecosystem and changing the current land use as much as possible, in addition to policy making for constructions in accordance with geomorphological and geological features of the area.}, keywords = {Slope instabilities,Logistic Regression,Tehran-North highway,Risk zonation}, title_fa = {تحلیل کمی ناپایداری های دامنه ای در دامنه های مشرف بر اتوبان در حال احداث تهران- شمال (تهران- سولقان) با استفاده از روش رگرسیون لجستیک}, abstract_fa = {ناپایداری‌های دامنه‌ای از مشخص‌ترین نوع مخاطرات زمین ریخت شناسی محسوب می شوند که با دخالت های انسانی تشدید می گردند و بیشتر تاسیسات انسانی، به ویژه جاده‌های کوهستانی را مورد تهدید قرار می دهند، و به این ترتیب هزینه‌های سنگینی را به دولت و ساکنین محلی تحمیل می کنند. بنابراین ارزیابی کمی پتانسیل وقوع ناپایداری‌ها در مناطقی که به لحاظ وضعیت جغرافیایی و ساخت وسازهای انسانی مستعد وقوع ناپایداری‌ها هستند ضروری می باشد. منطقه مورد مطالعه بزرگراه در حال احداث تهران- شمال می باشد که به دلیل جغرافیای خاص همیشه در معرض انواع ناپایداری ها قرار دارد.در این مطالعه از روش رگرسیون لجستیک برای تحلیل کمی ناپایداری‌ها در دامنه های مشرف بر اتوبان در حال احداث تهران- شمال (حد فاصل تهران- سولقان) استفاده شده است. جهت بررسی پتانسیل وقوع حرکات دامنه‌ای لایه های جداگانه 14 فاکتور موثر در وقوع ناپایداری‌ها (شامل طبقات ارتفاعی، شیب، جهت شیب، زمین شناسی، کاربری اراضی، بارش، فاصله از گسل، فاصله از رودخانه، فاصله از جاده، پوشش گیاهی، اقلیم، LS، SPI و TWI) در محیط GIS تهیه شدند، سپس با لایه پراکنش ناپایداری‌های موجود انطباق داده شدند و تراکم آن‌ها در واحد سطح محاسبه شد. در ادامه با استفاده از نرم‌افزار Terrset مدل رگرسیون لجستیک انجام شد. درنهایت می‌توان گفت مدل آماری رگرسیون لجستیک مدلی مناسب جهت پهنه‌‌بندی احتمال وقوع ناپایداری‌‌ها در منطقه‌ مورد مطالعه در کنار خطوط ارتباطی است. به ‌عنوان نتیجه گیری نهایی می‌توان گفت علاوه بر عوامل طبیعی، عوامل انسانی خصوصا جاده‌سازی غیراصولی می تواند نقش مهمی در وقوع ناپایداری‌های دامنه‌های مشرف بر جاده داشته باشد، برای کاهش نسبی خطرات و افزایش میزان پایداری دامنه‌ها لازم است تا حد ممکن از تغییر اکوسیستم و کاربری اراضی اجتناب نمود، و همچنین هرگونه سیاست‌گذاری به ‌منظور احداث سازه‌ها متناسب با شرایط ژئومورفولوژیکی و زمین‌شناسی منطقه صورت پذیرد.}, keywords_fa = {ناپایداری‌های دامنه‌ای,رگرسیون لجستیک,بزرگراه تهران-شمال,پهنه بندی خطر}, url = {https://geoplanning.tabrizu.ac.ir/article_10784.html}, eprint = {https://geoplanning.tabrizu.ac.ir/article_10784_c65ffd8a67ebcc51df25e57204a92c14.pdf} }
