This study explores the potential landslide susceptibility area in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia that experiences high number of soil erosion. There are more than 50 landslide identified in this region from the history landslide database. 18 landslides with complete information have been used in this study. ArcGIS were used to analyze the input data and causative factors. Experimental results shows that slope of 40°-50°, elevation of more than 1000 meters, areas close to roads and average rain of more than 200 mm are the main contributor to landslides. Frequency ratio method was used to evaluate the susceptibility, and shows 89.53% accuracy upon mapping to the actual landslides. The susceptibility map shows that the township and developed areas are more prone to landslide compared to the undeveloped areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
