Project Abstract

Abstract
Landslides pose significant threats to communities and infrastructure around the world, leading to loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as a valuable tool for analyzing and assessing landslide risk by integrating spatial data and analytical capabilities. This research project focuses on the analysis of landslide risk assessment using GIS to improve understanding and management of landslide hazards.

By integrating geospatial data and analytical tools, this study provides valuable insights into the spatial distribution of landslide risk, identification of vulnerable areas, and development of risk assessment models. The findings of this research contribute to the ongoing efforts to mitigate landslide hazards and improve disaster resilience in landslide-prone regions. Future research should focus on refining GIS-based methodologies, incorporating real-time data sources, and advancing multi-hazard risk assessment frameworks to address complex geohazards.
