Abstract:

    Every year, hundreds of people all over the world lose their lives due to landslides. Landslide susceptibility map describes the likelihood or possibility of new landslides occurring in an area, and therefore helping to reduce future potential damages. The main purpose of this study is to provide landslide susceptibility map using logistic regression model at Latyan watershed, north Iran. In the first stage, 208 Landslide locations were identified and mapped using extensive field surveys. 75 % of these landslides were used for training and 25 % of them for validation of the model. The mapped landslides were then georeferenced using ArcGIS 10 to provide the landslide inventory map. In the second stage, maps of factors affecting the occurrence of landslides were prepared in ArcGIS 10. Finally in the last stage, the relationships between these affecting factors and the landslide inventory map were calculated using Logistic regression algorithm. The amount of pseudo R2 (0.32) and AUC (0.85) shown the high efficiency of Logistic regression model. According to the coefficients obtained by the model, lithology is the most important factor affecting landslide occurrence (coefficient= +12.032). Most landslides (69%) are located within Ek Formation. The results indicated that 7.56% of the basin is located in high susceptibility class and 2.88% in very high susceptibility class.

GIS-based logistic regression method for landslide susceptibility mapping in regional scale

Landslide susceptibility map is one of the study fields portraying the spatial distribution of future slope failure susceptibility. This paper deals with past methods for producing landslide susceptibility map and divides these methods into 3 types. The logistic linear regression approach is further elaborated on by crosstabs method, which is used to analyze the relationship between the categor...

Predictive Mapping of Blackberry in the Condamine Catchment Using Logistic Regression and Spatial Analysis

The development of control strategies for noxious weeds depends on reliable information about the location and extent of weed species. Consequently, there is a need to develop mapping and monitoring techniques that are accurate, costeffective and reliable. This paper investigated predictive modelling and mapping techniques for blackberry (Rubus fruticosus agg.) weed in the Condamine Catchment. ...

Validation of Logistic Regression Model for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping at Ganeoung Areas, Korea

Landslides as major natural geological hazards often result in significant harm to people and property. Between 20 and 31 August, 2002, Typhoon Rusa hit the Gangneung area as a storm associated with heavy rainfall. The maximum daily rainfall amounted to 609 mm, with 80 mm per hour. The consequence was the death of 266 people. Damage to property amounted to an approximate value of US$ 8 billion....

Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Based on Selected Optimal Combination of Landslide Predisposing Factors in a Large Catchment

Landslides are usually initiated under complex geological conditions. It is of great significance to find out the optimal combination of predisposing factors and create an accurate landslide susceptibility map based on them. In this paper, the Information Value Model was modified to make the Modified Information Value (MIV) Model, and together with GIS (Geographical Information System) and AUC ...
