Abstract
Landslides pose a significant hazard in the Himalayan region of Nepal due to steep terrain, fragile geology, intense monsoon rainfall, and expanding rural infrastructure. This study evaluates landslide susceptibility in Roshi Rural Municipality, Kavrepalanchowk District, using two GIS-based approaches: the Frequency Ratio (FR) model and the Weighted Overlay Method (WOM) based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Key conditioning factors, including slope, elevation, geology, land use/land cover, rainfall, and proximity to roads and rivers, were analyzed. A landslide inventory from the 2024 extreme rainfall event was used for model training and validation through the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and Area under the Curve (AUC). Results show that the Frequency Ratio (FR) model achieved an AUC value of 0.671, indicating moderate predictive capability. In comparison, the Weighted Overlay Method (WOM) produced an AUC value of 0.572, indicating relatively lower prediction performance. These results suggest that the FR model provides a more reliable representation of landslide susceptibility in the study area.
Flooding poses a significant threat to communities, agricultural systems, and infrastructure in low-lying, intensively managed landscapes. This study employs an integrated Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) approach to assess and map flood risk in the Wonji area of the Oromia Regio...
The active development of the foothill areas of the Almaty agglomeration (Southeastern Kazakhstan) requires reliable methods for landslide susceptibility assessment. This study aims to identify the spatial association between landslide occurrence and selected environmental and anthropogenic factors using the Frequency...
Floods are among the most destructive natural hazards worldwide, causing significant environmental degradation, economic losses, and social disruption. This study aims to delineate flood-susceptible zones within the Mekerra Wadi Watershed in northwestern Algeria by applying an integrated approach combining remote sensi...
Landslides pose a recurring threat to human settlements, infrastructure, and ecosystems in the seismically active Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India. This study presents a comparative landslide susceptibility assessment using three distinct models: Frequency Ratio (FR), Shannon Entropy (SE), and Analytical Hierarch...
