Landside is a natural disaster with great human and economic losses in Iran. In recent year, landslide occurrence due to change of land use and construction of roads, has been on the increasing trend in northern regions of Iran. This phenomenon is more occurring in developing countries due to high rate of population growth and natural resources deterioration. There are several methods for landslide hazard zoning and in this research density area and analytical hierarchy process models were utilized. For landslide susceptibility mapping, field study landslides distribution map and effective factors are required. Prioritization of effective factor was carried out using AHP. Our investigation indicates that lithology, distance from road, slope, distance from drainage network, land use, elevation and aspect are the main land slide controlling factor in the area respectively. Evaluation of these models using QS index showed that density area is a better approach for landslide hazard zonation in the region.
