Mountain Resilience: A Tool for Mudflow Risk Management in the Ile Alatau Mountains, Kazakhstan

The densely populated central part of the Ile Alatau mountains is one most mudflow-prone areas Kazakhstan. Implementation protection measures, early warning systems, and risk management plans crucial to protect livelihoods infrastructure from damage caused by mudflows. Increasing harm mudflows in recent decades—due more frequent events, as well increased economic development area—has made establishment implementation a mudflow system priority. effectiveness such largely depends on scientific validity plan hence determined level knowledge physical processes triggering events. This based information that must be collected, analyzed, systematized. However, data are not easy access; they scattered over different archives research institutes or simply missing. In years, monographs, articles, reports have been published attempt collect systematize phenomena general. These efforts provide basis for further work but often readily available use. article presents updateable, interactive, intelligent “Mudflow Alatau” links cartographic with formation centers. concentrates collates existing knowledge, making it accessible stakeholders decision-makers who can turn this into suitable applications adaptive sustainable management.
