Mapping Regional Landslide Hazard Using GIS Modeling
PDF paper
Landslide hazard maps are critical for minimizing negative impacts on forest infrastructure and environmental degradation due to sediment pulses and stream course obliterations. They may be used for forest planning and decision support.
Integrating GIS, Remote Sensing and other environmental data for the development of scale-dependent procedures or predicting and mapping landslide hazards by:
-
Developing empirical models using logistic regression for spatial prediction of landslide hazard
-
Process-based modeling to evaluate spatial and temporal distribution of landslide hazard given specific time or management period
-
Expert knowledge modeling using fuzzy logic and Bayesian statistics
-
Validation of methods and process models and their application for use at a range of scales.
