Classification of landslide risks and their impact on land uses within the Jami Rezan area, west of Sulaymaniyah

Abstract

    The study of the geomorphological risks of landslides is important because of its clear impact on the region, and the diversity of the natural environment from the terrain and climatic conditions and the presence of water valleys in the study area, which led to the emergence of recreational tourist areas in the Jami Rezan area, the area is located between a group of heights west of Sulaymaniyah, as its height ranges between (396-1470) m, so it is within the high-altitude areas with a large pitch, as the slope degrees exceed (30◦), so its lands are cut off significantly, which leads to The diversity of natural characteristics in the region through the emergence of a diversity in the climate and its impact on the quantities received from solar radiation, temperatures and amounts of precipitation, which in turn leads to an increase in its impact on geomorphological processes, especially weathering, as it forms over time geomorphological ground features from the movement of rock masses, in which types of risks appear from collapses and landslides, so they are classified as dangerous areas that negatively affect human activities, and the presence of land uses within the region varies between areas that are very dangerous Or simple risk and had to be identified to know how to deal with it, the study relied on the descriptive analytical approach to analyze data and maps of the studied phenomena and relying on the field study in order to reach sound results.
