Özet

The Inecik Landslide on Tekirdag-Malkara E-5 highway at 22.7 km west of Tekirdag occurred as result of a northwestward rotational movement of the filling material, which covers the Yeni Muhacir Formation with high clay content. The spoon-shaped Inecik Landslide with 87 m length and 57 m width changed into a soil flow downward and progressed onto the agriculture areas. The total surface area and volume of the activated material were calculated 3544 m (2) and 42380 m (3), respectively. The landslide damaged the highway, some trees, a fountain and agriculture areas in part. In this study, this highway landslide is dealt with from geomorphological point of view by considering other well-known causative factors, such as climate, geology, topography, hydrology etc. Finally, future landslide potential in and around the sliding area is evaluated.
