TLDR
In this paper, a statistical methodology that uses the intensity of earthquake shaking as a landslide triggering factor was proposed. But the results show that it can accurately interpret landslide distribution in the study area and predict the occurrence of landslides in neighboring regions.About:

Three (nearly) complete inventories of landslides triggered by the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan Mw 7.9 earthquake of China and their spatial distribution statistical analysis
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper compared three (nearly) complete landslide inventories that were compiled from visual image interpretation, which differ in the manner in which the landslides are represented, either as polygons, centroid points, or top points.

Landslide inventories: The essential part of seismic landslide hazard analyses
TL;DR: A detailed and accurate landslide inventory is an essential part of seismic landslide hazard analysis as discussed by the authors, which can then be used to perform seismic landslide hazards analysis and other quantitative analyses, such as earthquake hazard analysis.

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.
