Landslides, one of the natural disaster problems, occur due to slope stability triggered by natural or human activities. Once such mass movements have begun, they are challenging to stop and, in some cases, almost impossible. Geophysical methods are very effective in determining the character and mechanical properties of landslides with a high resolution before or after mass movement. This study aims identifying the landslide that tends to continue in the & Ccedil;aml & imath;ca neighborhood of the Hendek district of Sakarya province by electrical resistivity (ERT), surface waves analysis (MASW-ReMi), and mechanical soil drilling. The low resistivity and low shear wave velocity (Vs) unit in the geophysical sections was determined as a saturated clayey thick cover layer from the borehole log. This clayey unit causes mass movement on the slip surface. Andesite-basalt-containing bedrock unit under the slip surface has been identified as having high resistivity and high velocity in geophysical sections. The integrated use of geophysical methods in this landslide, determined as the progressive mechanism, contributed significantly to the realistic modeling of the landslide internal structure.
