Objective: Land subsidence is one of the hazards that affect many plains in Iran, including the plains of Semnan province. Given that the risk of subsidence is associated with many harmful effects, this study evaluates the subsidence situation in the urban area and urban outskirts of Garmsar and analyzes the factors affecting its occurrence.
Methods: In this research, Sentinel 1 radar images, Landsat satellite images and information related to groundwater resources of the region have been used as the most important research data. The most important research tools have been ArcGIS, GMT and Google Earth Engine software. In this research, first, using the SBAS time series method, a map of the subsidence rate of the region has been prepared and then its relationship with the decline of groundwater resources and the type of land uses of the region has been investigated.
Results: Based on the results obtained, the study area has subsided between 12 and 79 mm during a one-year period (from January 2021 to January 2022), with the highest rate of subsidence in the southern outskirts of Garmsar city.
Conclusions: The results of this study also showed that the annual decline in groundwater resources in the southern wells of the region was more than 2 meters, and given that the highest rate of subsidence was also related to these areas, it can be said that the main reason for the subsidence of the region was the decline in groundwater resources. Also, based on the results, the development of human constructions, especially heavy structures, has been effective in intensifying the subsidence that has occurred.
