VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT IN LANDSLIDE RISK ANALYSIS

Landslide risk assessment and management: an overview

Landslides can result in enormous casualties and huge economic losses in mountainous regions. In order to mitigate landslide hazard effectively, new methodologies are required to develop a better understanding of landslide hazard and to make rational decisions on the allocation of funds for management of landslide risk. Recent advances in risk analysis and risk assessment are beginning to provi...

Vulnerability and Environmental Risk Assessment

Over the past half century, environmental risk assessment (ERA) has become increasingly important in political decisions. It forms an important basis within the World Trade Organization’s Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement (SPS) and is an important touch point within the Convention on Biological Diversity. The scope of ERA is expanding rapidly both in the issues that it covers and in its role...

Assessment of landslide susceptibility, semi-quantitative risk and management in the Ilam dam basin, Ilam, Iran

geomorpholigic assessment of urban development and vulnerability caused by landslide in mountainous hillsides of tehran metropolis

the presence of glacial deposits is among the most important evidences of quaternary climatic changes. the aalamkooh and thakht-e-solieman glaciers are the samples of those glaciers in the alborz mountains. all iranian and foreign researchers who have worked on the alamkooh glaciers believe the glaciers of northern alborz are parts of active ones in iran. the objective of this research is inves...

Predicting the susceptibility of landslide occurrence in order to manage landslide risk in Bar Neyshabur watershed

Background and objective: Landslide susceptibility zoning using different methods is one of the landslide management strategies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the landslides susceptibility in the Bar watershed in Khorasan Razavi province using the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. Method: First, the landslide layer of the area was corrected through field visits and Google Earth...
