LANDSLIDE HAZARD ZONATION
-
Description
-
Landslide hazard zonation (LHZ) maps are essential for identifying areas at risk of landslides, which can lead to significant casualties and economic losses, particularly as urbanization and climate change increase vulnerability. Effective LHZ involves categorizing land based on factors contributing to slope instability, including geology, topography, soil type, and land use. Various methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative, are employed to assess and predict landslide risks. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing enhance data collection and analysis, improving hazard mapping accuracy. Recognizing and mitigating these hazards is crucial for informed urban planning and disaster management.
