“…In addition, the interaction between risk components has been investigated in some studies (Depicker et al., 2021; Ozturk et al., 2022). Findings indicate that the distribution of population and transport infrastructure, apart from influencing landslide exposure as elements at risks, could interact with changes in landslide hazard (Bozzolan et al., 2020; Brenning et al., 2015). For instance, the unplanned sprawl of urbanization in mountainous areas would not only lead to an increased exposed population and buildings, but also to changes in the morphology, hydrological or material properties of the landslides, and thus changes in the landslide hazard for individual or regional landslides (Dille et al., 2022; Ozturk et al., 2022), due to the associated changes in land use, especially the destruction of vegetations, the cutting of slopes for road construction or housing, and the excavation at the foot of the slopes (Bozzolan et al., 2020; Depicker et al., 2021; Dille et al., 2022; Ozturk et al., 2022).…”
