A common multivariate statistical analysis was applied for landslide susceptibility zoning. The novelty consists in a particular attention on the choice of the factors which influence the landslide occurrence and triggering, and in a critical review of the choice of the calibration area in terms of its extension and of distribution of the...

The present paper proposes an automatic procedure in GIS providing maps which suggest the more appropriate and feasible intervention type to mitigate landslide risk. These maps are not intended for replacing the designer engineering judgment, nor his work, but to help him in the choice and to help the territorial protection agencies in planning...

The first step of a risk assessment analysis is the evaluation of flood-prone areas. Its importance is considered for both managing and planning emergency activities, such as hydraulic risk reduction management, and also town planning. Nowadays, using GIS technology for risk assessment analysis is very common. However, it is not widely used for...

The present work aims to illustrate the potentiality of the GRASS command r.inund.fluv, developed in the Laboratory of Geomatics of DICCA, in the evaluation of potentially flooded areas by means of its application to the terminal reach of Magra River in Italy. Such application underlined the need of a code improvement, in order to better manage...

Several approaches have been developed worldwide in order to assess landslide hazards. The most diffuse methods are heuristic analysis, statistical or process-based methods (Fell et al., 2008). The present research consists in applying univariate and multivariate statistical analysis for landslide susceptibility zoning, considering the...
