Abstract :

Investigating slope instability and determining areas prone to slope movements bymeans of GIS has been considered by researchers in the past recent years; however,sufficient attention has not been given to the methods employed in GIS.The present article uses a cell analysis method in a slope instability studyconducted at Sanandaj Country, and has obtained an appropriate model fordetermining prone areas. While testing the model, the cell analysis method has beencapable of assessing the factors influencing slope instability and creating modificationchanges in weights and coefficients.
