Project Abstract

Abstract
Landslides are significant geological hazards that pose risks to both human lives and infrastructure in various regions around the world. This research project focuses on analyzing landslide susceptibility using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques in a specific region. The integration of these advanced technologies allows for a comprehensive assessment of the factors contributing to landslide occurrences, aiding in the development of effective mitigation strategies. The research begins with a detailed introduction, providing background information on landslides and the importance of studying landslide susceptibility. The problem statement highlights the need for accurate and efficient methods to identify areas at risk of landslides. The objectives of the study are outlined to guide the research process, while the limitations and scope of the study are defined to set boundaries for the analysis. The significance of the study is emphasized, as the findings are expected to contribute to better disaster preparedness and land use planning in the study area. Chapter two presents a comprehensive literature review on landslide susceptibility assessment, remote sensing techniques, GIS applications in landslide studies, and previous research conducted in similar regions. The review synthesizes existing knowledge and identifies gaps in the current literature, providing a foundation for the research methodology. Chapter three details the research methodology, including data collection methods, remote sensing data acquisition, GIS analysis techniques, and the development of a landslide susceptibility model. The process involves the integration of satellite imagery, digital elevation models, land cover data, and other relevant spatial data to identify key factors influencing landslide susceptibility in the study area. Chapter four presents the findings of the study, including the mapping of landslide susceptibility zones, the identification of high-risk areas, and the validation of the susceptibility model. The results are analyzed in detail, discussing the spatial distribution of landslide susceptibility and the factors contributing to landslide occurrences in the specific region. The conclusion and summary chapter provide a comprehensive overview of the research findings, discussing the implications for disaster management, urban planning, and environmental conservation. Recommendations for future research and practical applications of the study findings are also provided to support decision-making processes in mitigating landslide risks. In conclusion, this research project contributes to the understanding of landslide susceptibility using remote sensing and GIS techniques in a specific region. By integrating advanced technologies with geological analysis, the study provides valuable insights into the factors influencing landslide occurrences and supports the development of effective mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of landslides on communities and infrastructure.
