Abstract

Unregulated or unprofessional land development and land use management in mountainous regions with steep slopes has led to increased instances of landslides causing human losses and damage to urban facilities. This phenomenon also has numerous indirect environmental impacts such as the destruction of rangelands and forests, and creation and transportation of sediments that might fill or contaminate the artificial and natural reservoirs. Methodology: There are several approaches to this strategy, but all these approaches require creating a comprehensive database composed of data concerning the factors contributing to the magnitude or probability of landslide. Results: It is obvious that any of these events can have grave consequences for urban micromanagement system and can be considered a managerial crisis. Therefore, the identification of areas susceptible to landslides and creation of a comprehensive, efficient and updatable database to prevent or properly manage this natural disaster is essential for an adequate natural resource management and effective construction and development planning. Landslide susceptibility mapping is one of the most important strategies for reducing the damage caused by landslides. Conclusion: This paper introduces and discusses the effective methods for collecting the GIS data describing the landslide susceptibility factors.
