“…Second, the development of road and telecommunication networks has facilitated access to land and services, ultimately supporting people livelihoods [20][21][22][23]. Yet, in areas prone to landslides with impoverished economies, limited planning, and poor social networks, this built infrastructure network may become an added vulnerability to people and livelihoods [24,25]. Third, incentives that promote a limited set of agricultural activities may lead to landscape homogenization over large areas [26][27][28][29].…”

An increasing frequency of extreme atmospheric events is challenging our basic knowledge about the resilience mechanisms that mediate the response of small mountainous watersheds (SMW) to landslides, including production of water-derived ecosystem services (WES). We hypothesized that the demand for WES increases the connectivity between lowland and upland regions, and decreases the heterogeneity of SMW. Focusing on four watersheds in the Central Andes of Colombia and combining “site-specific knowledge”, historic land cover maps (1970s and 1980s), and open, analysis-ready remotely sensed data (GLAD Landsat ARD; 1990–2000), we addressed three questions. Over roughly 120 years, the site-specific data revealed an increasing demand for diverse WES, as well as variation among the watersheds in the supply of WES. At watershed-scales, variation in the water balances—a surrogate for water-derived ES flows—exhibited complex relationships with forest cover. Fractional forest cover (pi) and forest aggregation (AIi) varied between the historic and current data sets, but in general showed non-linear relationships with elevation and slope. In the current data set (1990–2000), differences in the number of significant, linear models explaining variation in pi with time, suggest that slope may play a more important role than elevation in land cover change. We found ample evidence for a combined effect of slope and elevation on the two land cover metrics, which would be consistent with strategies directed to mitigate site-specific landslide-associated risks. Overall, our work shows strong feedbacks between lowland and upland areas, raising questions about the sustainable production of WES.

“…Every individual in society will take all actions to achieve a better standard of living so Spiritual activities sometimes serve as additional media for delivering information related to village information and disaster information. The community interaction in the Taji Villages can be the one solution for landslide disaster risk management [20,21].…”

The upper part of the Jabung sub-district has a rough morphology due to agricultural land use. Rough morphological conditions can lead to landslides, especially in the Taji Village area. This study describes the local wisdom of people living in landslide-prone areas to protect the environment, which could help Taji Village remain sustainable. The methods used were field surveys, observations and in-depth interviews regarding community life strategies to survive in landslide-prone areas. The community’s survival strategy is carried out in various ways, including as social activities that reflect mutual tolerance between members; land management in the form of floral arrangement on each part of the slope; and the use of certain areas as tourist attractions. Keywords: community, strategy, adaptation, landslide, sustainability

“…Further applications of the data will include analyses of the long-term changes in landslide risk reduction approaches, their effectiveness and efficiency (Caloireo et al, 2014;Klose et al, 2016) framed by disaster risk reduction strategies (DRR) (Bíl et al, 2014;UNDRR, 2015). Analysis of community responses to landslide risk in individual landslide-prone areas has already been published by Raška (2019) and Klimeš et al (2020) and allowed for an exploration of both formal (planning, DRR administration) and informal (community help, mobilization of local knowledge) mechanisms in landslide risk reduction.…”

Abstract. National and regional historical landslide databases are increasingly viewed as providing empirical evidence for the geomorphic effects of ongoing environmental change and for supporting adaptive territorial planning. In this work, we present the design and current content of the Czech Historical Landslide Database (CHILDA), the first of its kind for the territory of Czechia (the Czech Republic). We outline the CHILDA system, its functionality and technical solution. The database was established by merging and extending the fragmented regional datasets for highly landslide prone areas in Czechia. Currently, the database includes 699 records (619 landslides, 75 rockfalls, and 5 other movement types) encompassing the period from the oldest determined records (1132) up to 1989 which represents an important cultural, political and socioeconomic divide. Along with characterizing the content of the database, we discuss its further developments and applications.
