This observational analysis reveals major causes of landslide susceptibility in hilly areas, indicating the need for improved management practices.
Key Points
About 70.21% of the studied area is prone to moderate to very high landslide susceptibility, indicating a significant risk.
The most critical factors influencing landslide occurrence were identified as geology, slope steepness, soil texture, and drainage density.
The study utilized remote sensing and GIS tools alongside analytical methods like the spatial multi-criteria evaluation and weighted linear combination.
Integrated management strategies combining indigenous practices with modern land use are vital for reducing landslide risks in the region.
