Abstract

Iran is one of the top 10 countries facing natural hazards in the world. One of the basic approaches is to reduce the above-mentioned hazards, to identify the factors involved in hazard and risk zoning. The present study also explores the geomorphologic hydro-wind hazards on the Shahdad-Nehbandan road northwest of the Lut World Heritage, in order to achieve such a goal. In this way, the field was first identified with hazardous points and was marketed with the help of GPS. Then, the effective factors in the occurrence of the desired hazards were identified and the experts were weighed using the fuzzy set and the layers were overlaid using the ANP model. The results of the flood hazard zonation analysis showed that about 219 km of road length is moderate to very high, and the sand-zone hazard map illustrates the fact that more than 252 km of roads are exposed to windblown hazards. This fact highlights the emphasis on planning and environmental studies in the communication axis as one of the most important axes for achieving the Lut World Heritage and its eye-catching geomorphologic complications.
