Abstract

A new method is developed using modification of Anbalagan method (1992) for slide hazard zonation in coastal desert area. A region in the south of Iran is studied using the method, and the result is compared with the result of zonation using Anbalagan method. This comparison shows that the use of new method can provide better results for slide hazard zonation in coastal desert area in the middle scales.
