Environmental analysis of land subsidence and its hazards in Asadabad plain, Hamadan, Iran"

Today, the phenomenon of subsidence has affected many regions of the world, including densely populated cities in arid and semi-arid regions, and has caused a lot of damage. The phenomenon of subsidence is imperceptible and gradual, and in the long term it causes a lot of damage to agricultural lands as well as urban areas. Considering the many negative effects that the subsidence phenomenon has on human activities and man-made phenomena including buildings and facilities, not paying attention to it can be associated with many human and financial losses. Based on this, it will be very important to monitor the amount of land subsidence in order to reduce the negative effects and also to control its development process, and it is necessary to regularly estimate the subsidence process of the areas. Due to the fact that the phenomenon of subsidence occurs imperceptibly and its monitoring requires high precision, therefore, new methods should be used to monitor this risk. One of the methods that has received a lot of attention in recent years is the radar interferometry method, which has high accuracy and speed in processing information and monitoring changes in the earth's surface. Accordingly, in this research, this method is used. It will be used to evaluate the subsidence of Asadabad Plain. According to the mentioned cases, in this research, using radar images and radar interferometry method, the state of subsidence and its trend in Asadabad Plain and the analysis of the geomorphological factors affecting its occurrence have been evaluated.
