@article{2017,title={DETERMINATION OF AREAS WITH HIGH LANDSLIDE RISK IN THE PROVINCE OF KILIS (TURKEY) BY MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHOD},abstractNode={In countries that show spatial variety over short distances such as Turkey, wrong-unconscious land use practices increase the number and impact area of disasters which cause life and property losses. Landslide is one of these disasters. In this study, we produced base maps for the Province of Kilis using GIS and remote sensing methodologies. Base maps in question were created taking parameters effective in the event of landslide into account. The research results showed that 14% of the Province of Kilis, in the west and northwestern of it in particular, had very high-high landslide risk. In this context, local administrators should consider, during land use planning, these sites where the landslide risk is high-very high. Otherwise, possible landslides may cause losses of life and property. In addition, the foundation of “the Natural Disaster Planning Center of the Province of Kilis” would be a positive step.},author={Ali Ekber GÜLERSOY-- Mehmet Ali ÇELİK},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
