چکیده

Landslides are amongst the most damaging natural hazards in the mountainous terrain like Himalaya. The study of landslides has drawn worldwide attention mainly due to increasing awareness of socio-economic impacts of landslides. Remote sensing images provide many useful land use information to combine in a GIS environment with other spatial factors influencing the occurrence of landslide. The landslide inventory is a fundamental prerequisite for landslide hazard analysis based on GIS. The satellite imageries of LANDSAT ETM+, IRS P6, ASTER etc. along with Survey of India (SOI) topographical sheets form the basis for deriving baseline information on various parameters like slope, aspect, relative relief, drainage density, geology/lithology and land use/land cover. Keyword: Landslide, Himalaya, GIS, Remote Sensing Image, Survey of India etc.
