Abstract:
Numerous landslides have occurred in the study area and they damage to agriculture and pasturelands. Since the study area do not have any landslide inventory and landslide predicted maps, landslide inventory produced based on field research (GPS) and satellite image (Geoeye and Ikonos). Frequency ratio technique is a statistical approach to simulation environmental conditions. It also uses to take the factors related to dependent variable. Frequency technique considered for generating landslide susceptibility map. Pixel landsliding and non-landsliding calculated in eight factors related-landslide. Landslide susceptibility map produce in five insensitive to very high sensitive classes based on natural breaks method. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) graph implement to evaluate of the frequency ratio method. In particular, the model will be able to predict landslide area occurrence in future completely (sensitivity = 1). Although, model identify insensitive area with 17% errors (specificity = 0.83).

Key words:  Frequency ratio, landslide, ROC curve, validation, , ,
