Analysis of Landslide Risk Assessment Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Project 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.
