A small-scale landslide susceptibility assessment for the territory of Western Carpathians

Landslide susceptibility analysis in data-scarce regions: the case of Kyrgyzstan

“…Even though conventional landslide susceptibility analyses do not incorporate triggering information (Fell et al 2008), the present study also considers the inclusion of the seismic input, in line with susceptibility analyses previously presented by Schicker and Moon (2012), who included rainfall, and Holec et al (2013), who included both seismicity and rainfall. Besides, given our focus on investigating the potential for landslide activation over a large territory, only seismicity has been considered as the triggering mechanism.…”

“…The Geographic Information System (GIS) is currently adopted for improving landslide inventory mapping and spatial data analysis. Numerous studies have already showed that the spatial distribution of landslides can be better understood through GIS-based susceptibility assessments, and successful examples of regional scale analyses can be found in the work of Fabbri (2003), van Westen et al (2003), Neuhäuser and Terhorst (2006), Oh and Lee (2010), Schicker and Moon (2012), Holec et al (2013).…”

Using statistical learning algorithms in regional landslide susceptibility zonation with limited landslide field data

“…For a more detailed review of these algorithms, please refer to Aleotti and Chowdhurry (1999), Dai et al (2002) and Wang et al (2005). A series of statistical algorithms have been proposed to establish such relationship, including bivariate (Brabb et al 1972;DeGraff and Romesburg 1980;Jade and Sarkar 1993;Yilmaz and Keskin 2009) and multivariate analyses (Carrara et al 1991;Nefesliglu et al 2008;Yilmaz 2010 a, b;Pradhan 2010;Bui et al 2012;Holec et al 2013). They identify landslide-susceptible areas from the relationship of causative factors and occurrence of landslide events established on records of existing landslide events in the area (Carrara et al 1991;Bălteanu et al 2010).…”

“…In the European context, the Carpathians are landslide susceptible (Holec et al 2013), thus objects of historical cultural heritage located there can easily face a peril (e.g. Vlčko and Greif 2009).…”
