“…Of the registered several hundred road landslides, the characteristic ones and important landslides were analyzed. Selected landslides are recorded by engineering-geological and geodetic methods, and a recommendation is given on the scope and types of research in order to determine the mechanism for the occurrence of landslide, their size and method of reconstruction [11,13,15,26,27,28,29,30,31,32].…”

The Republic of Srpska, which is an integral part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was affected by intenseprecipitation during May 2014 and May 2015. The northern part of the Republic of Srpska is locatedbetween the plain area of the Sava River and the mountain massif of the inner Dinarides, while theeastern and western parts are confined to the rivers Drina and Una. Increased precipitation, which in2014 was three times higher than the average, activated large number of landslides, and most of themthreatened the facilities of various purposes. One year later, in the same month, this area was again hitby intense precipitation, less than in the previous year, but more significant by the size of activatedlandslides.The most significant landslides were formed along the roads, and the degree of damage is different,depending on the method of construction and maintenance during exploitation.The slopes on whichroads are built are in general conditionally stable, and for years have kept their stability in naturalconditions. By engineering interventions during the construction of the roads, the natural state ofbalance was disturbed, which was manifested with delay, since the slopes were not well repaired. Theopen terrain profiles on the slopes created favorable conditions for water to flow into the quasihomogeneous and heterogeneous clay sediments, where their stability was disturbed.The roads that were built of good quality as well as slope reparations during construction did not havesignificant damage during intense precipitation, although some of them were built several decadesearlier. During the inventory of landslides on the roads, the effects of elemental and anthropogenicprocesses were analyzed, where 23 of the characteristic landslides were selected. The periods ofconstruction before and after 1990 were separated, that is, the periods of earlier quality construction offacilities from today's modern one.

“…Open terrain profiles on the slope create favorable conditions for water inflow into the quasihomogeneous and heterogeneous clay sediments, further deteriorating their stability [1,7,32,41]. In addition to the surface inflow, the underground inflow was such that the heterogeneous sediments were completely saturated and sodden.…”

“…areas (Lainas et al, 2016). Similarly, after the flood events in the northern and eastern parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2014, several thousand landslides were also documented (Djuric et al, 2015). Nevertheless, it is worth noting that some other studies have provided different results, as they reported that the occurrence of wildfires or floods in certain cases was not accordingly followed by an increased number of landslides in those areas (Campbell, 1975;Rengers et al, 2020).…”

Over the past few decades, numerous studies and technical surveys have documented a significant number of landslides activated in areas that had recently been affected by wildfires or floods, thereby suggesting a potential link between landslides and these phenomena. With the climate crisis exacerbating the intensity and frequency of wildfires and floods, understanding this link has nowadays become even more crucial and requires further exploration. This study proceeds along this path and establishes a comprehensive framework for rapidly evaluating the effect of a wildfire or a flood on the local landslide mechanism, as well as for effectively managing landslide hazards in the affected area. The proposed framework incorporates advanced Geographical Information System (GIS) tools, remote sensing techniques, and state of the art regional climate models, to assess landslide hazard and risk from wildfires and floods on the impacted area, as well as to offer vital tools for landslide management. Consequently, it provides a comprehensive and thorough assessment of the impact of these catastrophic phenomena on affected areas. Remote sensing and GIS techniques offer a cost-effective solution, as these methods, contrary to traditional in-situ methods, can be easily and rapidly applied even on large and complex areas. The integration of regional climate models also ensures the long-term viability of the proposed approach, as it takes under consideration the impacts of the climate crisis. As a result, the proposed framework contributes to scientists’ ongoing efforts in understanding the dynamic character of the landslides phenomenon that evolves and interacts with other natural disasters. Simultaneously, the results of the proposed methodology can effectively contribute to the local stakeholders’ efforts to promptly assess the relative impact and make informed decisions regarding the required mitigation measures. Wildfires that ravaged the Chania regional unit in western Crete, Greece, in 2021, are selected as a case study to highlight the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed framework.
