Abstract

The objective of the investigation is to assess the level of landslide susceptibility in the region of Moa in order to determine the risks and landslide hazards based on soil instability. The susceptibility assessment is carried out by applying the conditional probability method in Geographic Information System (GIS) to create a map of landslide susceptibility.
