“…LDBs in Europe from a variety of institutions, geological surveys, road & railroad authorities, water and energy authorities, national, regional and municipal authorities, and universities co-exist without being harmonized, integrated or simply being fully accessible. Herrera et al (2017) reviewed the LDBs of 29 Geological Surveys of Europe from 24 countries accounting for 849,543 landslides ( Fig. 1), of which 36% are slides, 10% falls, 20% flows, 11% complex landslides and 24% either unclassified or corresponding to other typologies.…”

The Regional Symposium on Landslides in the Adriatic-Balkan Region (ReSyLAB) is a biannual event, organized by the Adriatic-Balkan Network of the International Consortium on Landslides, Kyoto, Japan (ICL, http://icl.iplhq.org/). The 3 rd ReSyLAB in Ljubljana 2017 followed two previous successful symposia in Zagreb, Croatia (1 st ReSyLAB 2013) and Belgrade, Serbia (2 nd ReSyLAB 2015). A regional symposium aims specifically to strengthen the cooperation of the ICL members in the region and generally among the network of stakeholders involved in landslide research and landslide risk reduction. The next, 4 th ReSyLAB is scheduled for October 2019 and is to be held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina.

“…We tested this approach in the Aosta Valley Region (NW Italy) on five different slow moving landslides monitored for twenty years. The critical analysis of the available dataset modifies a simple sequence of information in a more complex document, adoptable by local and national authorities for a more effective management of active landslides.A broad overview of those phenomena becomes an essential guidance for any decision and evaluation in landslide risk management [13], and land use planning establishment [14,15].The underlying element in landslide risk management consists of landslide inventory and associated dataset. In Italy, the Italian Landslide Inventory, named IFFI [11], involves national, regional, and local institutions.…”

Operative Monographies: Development of a New Tool for the Effective Management of Landslide Risks

Active landslide risk assessment and management are primarily based on the availability of dedicated studies and monitoring activities. The establishment of decision support for the efficient management of active landslides threatening urban areas is a worthwhile contribution. Nowadays, consistent information about major landslide hazards is obtained through an interdisciplinary approach, consisting of field survey data and long-time monitoring, with the creation of a high populated dataset. Nevertheless, the large number and variety of acquired data can generate some criticalities in their management. Data fragmentation and a missing standard format of the data should represent a serious hitch in landslide hazard management. A good organization in a standard format can be a good operative solution. Based on standardized approaches such as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), we developed a standard document called operative monography. This document summarizes all available information by organizing monitoring data and identifying possible lacks. We tested this approach in the Aosta Valley Region (NW Italy) on five different slow moving landslides monitored for twenty years. The critical analysis of the available dataset modifies a simple sequence of information in a more complex document, adoptable by local and national authorities for a more effective management of active landslides.

Landslide databases in the Geological Surveys of Europe

Landslides are one of the most widespread geohazards in Europe, producing significant social and economic impacts. Rapid population growth in urban areas throughout many countries in Europe and extreme climatic scenarios can considerably increase landslide risk in the near future. Variability exists between European countries in both the statutory treatment of landslide risk and the use of official assessment guidelines. This suggests that a European Landslides Directive that provides a common legal framework for dealing with landslides is necessary. With this long-term goal in mind, this work analyzes the landslide databases from the Geological Surveys of Europe focusing on their interoperability and completeness. The same landslide classification could be used for the 849,543 landslide records from the Geological Surveys, from which 36% are slides, 10% are falls, 20% are flows, 11% are complex slides, and 24% either remain unclassified or correspond to another typology. Most of them are mapped with the same symbol at a scale of 1:25,000 or greater, providing the necessary information to elaborate European-scale susceptibility maps for each landslide type. A landslide density map was produced for the available records from the Geological Surveys (LANDEN map) showing, for the first time, 210,544km 2 landslide-prone areas and 23,681 administrative areas where the Geological Surveys from Europe have recorded landslides. The comparison of this map with the European landslide susceptibility map (ELSUS 1000 v1) is successful for most of the territory (69.7%) showing certain variability between countries. This comparison also permitted the identification of 0.98Mkm 2 (28.9%) of landslide-susceptible areas without records from the Geological Surveys, which have been used to evaluate the landslide database completeness. The estimated completeness of the landslide databases (LDBs) from the Geological Surveys is 17%, varying between 1 and 55%. This variability is due to the different landslide strategies adopted by each country. In some of them, landslide mapping is systematic; others only record damaging landslides, whereas in others, landslide maps are only available for certain regions or local areas. Moreover, in most of the countries, LDBs from the Geological Surveys co-exist with others owned by a variety of public institutions producing LDBs at variable scales and formats. Hence, a greater coordination effort should be made by all the institutions working in landslide mapping to increase data integration and harmonization.
