Analysis of Landslide Susceptibility in a Specific Geographical Area using GIS Techniques

Project Abstract

Landslides are a significant natural hazard that poses risks to human lives, infrastructure, and the environment in many regions worldwide. Understanding landslide susceptibility is crucial for effective disaster risk management and mitigation strategies. This research project focuses on the analysis of landslide susceptibility in a specific geographical area using Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. The study area chosen for this research is characterized by a history of landslides, making it a suitable case for investigation.
