Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis focuses on the analysis of landslide susceptibility in a specific region using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Landslides pose significant risks to human lives, infrastructure, and the environment, making them a critical geohazard to study and mitigate. Remote sensing and GIS technologies provide valuable tools for assessing landslide susceptibility by integrating spatial data and analytical methods. The research begins with an introduction to the study, providing the background and context for the investigation. The problem statement highlights the importance of understanding landslide susceptibility and the need for effective mitigation strategies. The objectives of the study are outlined to guide the research process, while the limitations and scope of the study define the boundaries and constraints of the research. The significance of the study is discussed to emphasize its contribution to the field of geology and natural hazard management. Chapter two presents a comprehensive literature review comprising ten key aspects related to landslide susceptibility, remote sensing, GIS techniques, and previous studies in similar contexts. This critical review of existing knowledge provides a foundation for the research methodology and data analysis in subsequent chapters. Chapter three details the research methodology employed in this study. From data collection methods to data processing techniques, this chapter outlines the steps taken to assess landslide susceptibility using remote sensing and GIS technologies. The selection of study area, data sources, and analysis procedures are discussed in depth to ensure transparency and reproducibility of the research findings. In chapter four, the findings of the analysis are presented and discussed in detail. Spatial maps depicting landslide susceptibility zones are generated based on the integration of remote sensing data and GIS techniques. The factors contributing to landslide susceptibility in the study area are identified and analyzed to provide insights into the underlying causes of landslides. The results are critically evaluated, and their implications for land use planning and disaster risk reduction strategies are discussed. Chapter five serves as the conclusion and summary of the thesis project. The key findings, implications, and contributions of the research are summarized, emphasizing the importance of using remote sensing and GIS techniques for assessing landslide susceptibility. Recommendations for future research and practical applications of the study are provided to guide further investigations in this field. Overall, this thesis contributes to the understanding of landslide susceptibility in a specific region through the application of remote sensing and GIS technologies. By combining spatial data analysis with geospatial tools, this research enhances the capacity to assess and manage landslide risks, ultimately leading to more effective disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies.
