“…This limits the implementation of technical protection measures, since such mitigation efforts are necessarily restricted to areas of high risk (van Westen et al, 2006Choi and Cheung, 2013Han et al, 2019. In the context of landslide protection "green infrastructure" is thus of high importance, i.e., the large-scale protective function of intact forest cover (Papathoma-Köhle and Glade, 2013Schmaltz et al, 2017Jaboyedoff et al, 2018. Protective forests can thus be seen as ecosystem-based solutions for disaster risk reduction (Eco-DRR), as many studies highlight the regulating function of forests on runoff (Beschta et al, 2000Wang et al, 2012 and slope stability (Bathurst et al, 2010Bezak et al, 2017Moos et al, 2016.…”

Climate change and disturbance regimes will alter the forest protective function against shallow landslides. • Climate change generally increased landslide risk in our simulations. • Only when future warming coincided with drying, the landslide risk decreased. • The adaptation of tree species to future climate change conditions has a direct effect on the stability of forested slopes. • Canopy disturbances reduce the risk of landslides, outweighing possible negative effects on the water cycle.

“…Sessions et al, 1987; Schuster, 1996; Owen et al, 2008). With the growth in global population and consequent urbanization, an increase in anthropogenically influenced or induced landslides has been observed (Jaboyedoff et al, 2016).…”

“…The terms ‘human‐induced’ or ‘post‐construction’ landslides have been introduced to describe landslides linked to construction (Terzaghi, 1950; De Puy, 2016; Jaboyedoff et al, 2016). By definition, post‐construction landslides are closely linked to constructions of any kind influencing both preparatory and triggering factors.…”

With growing urbanization, an increasing number of landslides worldwide are linked to construction works, especially along transportation routes. To get a better understanding of these post‐construction landslides at artificial waterways, archive studies have been conducted, in addition to analysis of historical scientific literature and technical reports. The resultant database is used to describe the occurrence and the characteristics of the landslides at the Mittelland Canal, and to evaluate aspects of conditioning and preparatory factors, potential triggers and applied mitigation measures. The Mittelland Canal has been chosen because it is one of the most important artificial waterways in Europe, and the high number of landslides that occur there is unique. In particular, landslides at the Mittelland Canal were frequently reported in the first half of the 20th century. The susceptibility to landslides is strongly influenced by material characteristics, as a large number of landslides is linked to sites where fine‐grained mudstone is abundant, which quickly decomposes under immersion in water or under dynamic stress. In addition, landslides can be linked to the creation of over‐steepened slopes. Construction works can also be considered another preparatory factor for landslides. In addition, some landslides in World War II appear to be connected to the blast of aerial bombings. Precipitation seems to play a minor role in triggering landslides. The applied mitigation measures were developed recently, marking the importance of the canal as a transportation route. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Italy is one of the European regions most greatly affected by slope instabilities, with more than 500,000 phenomena already mapped (covering approximatively 7.3% of its territory) [1]. Landslides can be triggered by natural (e.g., intense rainfalls) or anthropogenic (e.g., deforestation or poor urban planning) factors [2][3][4][5][6]. In both cases, they can impact structures and infrastructures causing considerable socio-economic damages, direct (e.g., maintenance or reconstruction of damaged structures) and indirect (e.g., difficulties to evaluate, losses of services) [1,[7][8][9][10][11][12], as well as fatalities.…”

Landslide-Induced Damage Probability Estimation Coupling InSAR and Field Survey Data by Fragility Curves

et al. 2019

Landslides are considered to be one of the main natural geohazards causing relevant economic damages and social effects worldwide. Italy is one of the countries worldwide most affected by landslides; in the Region of Tuscany alone, more than 100,000 phenomena are known and mapped. The possibility to recognize, investigate, and monitor these phenomena play a key role to avoid further occurrences and consequences. The number of applications of Advanced Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (A-DInSAR) analysis for landslides monitoring and mapping greatly increased in the last decades thanks to the technological advances and the development of advanced processing algorithms. In this work, landslide-induced damage on structures recognized and classified by field survey and velocity of displacement re-projected along the steepest slope were combined in order to extract fragility curves for the hamlets of Patigno and Coloretta, in the Zeri municipality (Tuscany, northern Italy). Images using ERS1/2, ENVISAT, COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) and Sentinel-1 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) were employed to investigate an approximate 25 years of deformation affecting both hamlets. Three field surveys were conducted for recognizing, identifying, and classifying the landslide-induced damage on structures and infrastructures. At the end, the damage probability maps were designed by means of the use of the fragility curves between Sentinel-1 velocities and recorded levels of damage. The results were conceived to be useful for the local authorities and civil protection authorities to improve the land managing and, more generally, for planning mitigation strategies.
