Project Abstract

Abstract
Landslides present a significant hazard to communities and infrastructure in many regions around the world. To effectively mitigate this hazard, it is crucial to assess and understand the factors contributing to landslide susceptibility. This research focuses on utilizing remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to analyze landslide susceptibility in a specific region. The study area chosen for this research is [insert specific region], which has experienced a history of landslides causing damage to infrastructure and posing risks to the local population. The research begins with a comprehensive introduction providing background information on landslides, their causes, and the importance of assessing landslide susceptibility for effective hazard management. The problem statement highlights the need for advanced techniques such as remote sensing and GIS to improve landslide susceptibility analysis. The objectives of the study include identifying high-risk areas for landslides, assessing the contributing factors, and developing susceptibility maps to aid in mitigation efforts. Despite the potential benefits of the study, there are limitations to the research, such as data availability, accuracy of remote sensing data, and uncertainties associated with landslide susceptibility modeling. The scope of the study is defined to focus on a specific region within [insert region], considering factors such as topography, soil properties, land use, and precipitation patterns. The significance of the study lies in its potential to provide valuable insights into landslide susceptibility assessment using advanced technologies, thereby aiding in disaster risk reduction and land use planning. The structure of the research is outlined, including the chapters that will be covered in the study, providing a roadmap for the reader to follow. The literature review delves into existing research on landslide susceptibility assessment, remote sensing applications, GIS techniques, and methodologies used in similar studies. By synthesizing this knowledge, the research aims to build upon previous work and contribute to the advancement of landslide hazard assessment methodologies. The research methodology section outlines the data collection methods, remote sensing techniques, GIS analysis procedures, and modeling approaches employed in the study. Key components include satellite imagery analysis, terrain modeling, land cover classification, and susceptibility mapping techniques.
