TLDR
Through this synthesis carried out as part of the regulatory mapping of landslide hazards and risks in France, a state-of-the-art spatial assessment of current landslide hazards is performed and the new tools and databases to support this type of analysis are described.Abstract:
In France, in the context of regulatory mapping (PPRNs –Prevention Plans of Natural Risk based on French regulatory rules), landslide hazard assessment follows an empirical approach and uses basic available data. Therefore, the results are closely linked to the quality of the expertise and divergent opinions may arise in some specific cases. In recent years, numerical approaches using GIS, the availability of new databases, the development of new acquisition tools in the field and web visualization services have improved the knowledge of phenomena and different landslide-prone areas. Numerical approaches using GIS, that allow the transparency and traceability of results, have various levels of complexity and require different quantities of input data. However, they are often neglected by experts and new data and tools are not currently used to develop regulatory mapping documents. Numerous scientific examples show that these numerical approaches, web services and new tools can be a significant help in improving knowledge and provide a credible alternative to the expert approach, even in a regulatory context such as a PPRN. Thus, through this synthesis carried out as part of the regulatory mapping of landslide hazards and risks in France, a state-of-the-art spatial assessment of current landslide hazards is performed. The new tools and newly available databases to support this type of analysis are then described. Finally, the perspectives and limitations of alternative approaches and new tools and data are discussed, leading to some considerations for the improvement of the current method of producing landslide hazard maps for PPRNs in France.read more

Integrating Development Inhomogeneity into Geohazards Risk Assessment Framework in Mountainous Areas – A Case Study in Lushan-Baoxing counties, Southwestern China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper quantified and integrated development imbalances into risk assessment framework, which be applied in Lushan and Baoxing mountainous areas, and the risk map was produced by multiplying hazard and vulnerability.

Development of multiclass alternating decision trees based models for landslide susceptibility mapping
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed three spatially explicit ensemble predictive models for the prediction of landslide susceptibility in the Muong Nhe district of the Dien Bien Province, Vietnam, using the Multiclass Alternating Decision Trees (MADT) method as the base classifier with the Dagging, MultiboostAB, and Random Subspace (RSS) as the ensemble learners.

Landslide hazard evaluation: a review of current techniques and their application in a multi-scale study, Central Italy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used geomorphological information to assess areas at high landslide hazard, and help mitigate the associated risk, and found that despite the operational and conceptual limitations, landslide hazard assessment may indeed constitute a suitable, cost-effective aid to land-use planning.

The Varnes classification of landslide types, an update
TL;DR: The modified Varnes classification of landslides has 32 landslide types, each of which is backed by a formal definition as mentioned in this paper, and complex landslides are not included as a separate category type, but composite types can be constructed by the user of the classification by combining two or more type names.
