kkjkjjMaps are a useful and convenient tool for presenting information on landslide Hazards.

They
can present many kinds and combinations of information at different Levels of detail

Three Important Criteria for Landslide Maps

(1) landslide inventory maps

(2) landslide susceptibility maps
(3) landslide hazard maps

Landslide-inventory maps

A landslide inventory map shows the location, spatial extent and type of landslides
in a region, and records the date of occurrence and the types of mass movements
that have left recognizable traces in an area which can be identified in the field, or
in aerial photographs and satellite Landslide.

Inventory maps are prepared for multiple purposes including:

1. Documenting the extent of landslide phenomena in areas

2. As a prior step toward landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk assessment.

3. To investigate the distribution, types, and patterns of landslides in relation to

geological characteristics.

4. To study the evolution of landscapes dominated by mass-wasting processes.

Methods to Generate Landslides inventory maps:

 Image interpretation data collected in this method we collect data from

aerial photographs, high resolution satellite images, or hill shading images
derived from detailed Digital Elevation Models.

 Field investigation by mapping landslide signs, scarp area, accumulation

areas, and verification of landslides mapped through image interpretation
and/or classification.

 Community reporting, by interviewing local people on locations, dates and

impacts of past landslide event.

 Archive studies, by studying newspaper archives, old reports, road

maintenance reports.

(1) relict landslides, (2) very old landslides, (3) landslides older than 1941, (4)
active landslides in 1941, (5) active landslides in 1954, (6) landslides in the period
1955–1976, (7) active landslides in 1977, (8) landslides in the period 1978–1984,
(9) active landslides in 1985, (10), landslides mapped in the field in winter 2010.
landslide susceptibility map:

landslide susceptibility map goes beyond an inventory map it’s detect areas
that have the potential for landsliding

These areas are determined by link some of the factors that contribute to
landsliding (such as steep slopes, weak geologic units that lose strength when
saturated or disturbed, and poorly drained rock or soil

These maps indicate only the relative stability of slopes; they do not make absolute
predictions.

Landslide susceptibility maps can be considered derivatives of landslide inventory

maps because an inventory is essential for preparing a susceptibility map
Landslide-hazad maps

describe the relative likelihood of future landsliding based only on the

fundamental properties of a locale or site,

Maps usually divide the study area into zones according to different levels of
hazard to slope movement.

They can also be called landslide hazard zonation maps,

These maps made based on

1. statistical analysis of landslide distribution

2. the identified controlling factors
3. based on variables such as rainfall thresholds, slope angle, soil type, and
levels of earthquake shaking.

An ideal landslide hazard map shows not only the chances that a landslide may
form at a particular place, but also the chance that it may travel downslope a given
distance
