Landslide disaster is a serious natural hazard next to earthquake and floodwater. It has brought about great losses to the economic and societal development worldwide. Aiming at the characteristics and requirements in the process of landslide treatment, an optimization algorithm of landslide treatment schemes selection is proposed by combining entropy weight grey incidence with DS evidence theo...

Landslide is a growing global threat and has been destroying lives and property of humankind. In most cases, the damages inflicted could be mitigated if there is a proper knowledge and awareness among the students. Students are playing an important role in maintaining a safe environment and harmony as well as the hope of the nation. Moreover, they themselves become victims to the threat of land...

We can distinguish three phases of using the SAR and other EO satellite data in landslide studies: 1. Surface characterisation, ie initial topographic and geomorphological classification, DEMs, photogrammetry (using Spot and Landsat); 2. Measurement of slow to extremely slow slope movements by means of SAR interferometry; 3. Systematic monitoring of temporal-spatial variations in some slide pro...

Recurrence of rain-induced landslides is controlled by the repetition of rain events. Therefore, rainfall induced landslide hazard analysis is more complicated than a conventional rainfall frequency analysis, and requires multi-stage procedures. It requires a susceptibility analysis to divide a region into successive classes at the first stage. Then, the relationship between the probability of ...

GIS multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly being used in landslide susceptibility mapping for the prediction of future hazards, decision making, as well as hazard mitigation plans. However, the uncertainties associated with MCDA techniques are inevitable and model outcomes are prone to multiple types of uncertainty. In this paper, the spatiality explicitly method is emp...

Terrestrial laser scanning is used as a helpful observation method in hazard assessment to collect 3D data from changing landscape surfaces, to obtain information about the current states of natural hazard processes. Three different applications of terrestrial laser scanning for monitoring natural hazard are presented to better understand the method of application, based on the outcome of previ...

The development of landslide susceptibility maps is of great importance due to rapid urbanization. The purpose of this study is to present a method to integrate the subjective weight with objective weight for regional landslide susceptibility mapping on the geographical information system (GIS) platform. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP), which is subjective, was employed to weight predict...

Inspired by two practical cases in Switzerland, the paper investigates a problem of elevated earth pressures downslope existing landslides. This is relevant for both permanent landslides and one-time events, particular interest area stable slope just below landslide high-pressure compression zone. Intuitively, there should be transition zone, within which high subside to far field (at rest) slo...

Detecting landslides and monitoring their activity is of great relevance for natural hazard assessment and disaster prevention in hilly areas. Very high resolution optical satellite data is now becoming available, and to evaluate the potential application of these new images to detect ground surface changes as a result of landsliding, in previous work we developed and applied change detection a...
