1. BASIC CONCEPTS
Landslide Hazard:“the probability of occurrence of a potentially
damaging phenomenon [landslide] within a given area and in a given period of time.”
(Varnes et al., 1984)
Rt = (E) (Rs) = (E) (H x V)
H – Hazard
V – Vulnerability (degree of loss; 0-1)
E – Vulnerable Elements (Value of...)
Rs – Specific Risk (H x V)
Rt – Total Risk

Landslide hazard Vulnerability
LANDSLIDE RISK
adapted from Panizza (1990 )
Landslide Hazard = probability of occurrence of a potentially damaging phenomenon [landslide] within a given area and in a given period of time.
1) SPATIAL LOCATION (“WHERE”?)
2) TIME RECURRENCE (“WHEN”?)
3) INTENSITY / MAGNITUDE (“HOW POWERFUL”?)
CRUCIAL ELEMENTS IN THE PREDICTION OF FUTURE LANDSLIDE BEHAVIOUR:
TYPICAL METHODS USED TO DEFINE LANDSLIDE PRONE ZONES AT A REGIONAL SCALE:
1)DIRECT APPROACH (Geomorphological)
2) INDIRECT APPROACHES (Quantitative and Semiquantitative)
Knowledge-based (index)Statistical (data-driven)Deterministic
Applied overpredefinedterrain units
2
BASIC ASSUMPTION OF BOTH DIRECT AND INDIRECT APPROACHES:
FUTURE LANDSLIDES ARE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR UNDER THE SAME GEOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS THAT LED TO PAST SLOPE INSTABILITY.
“PAST AND PRESENT ARE KEYS TO THE FUTURE”
KEYS FOR PREDICTION OF FUTURE LANDSLIDES:
MAPPING PAST AND RECENT SLOPE MOVEMENTS
IDENTIFICATION AND MAPPING OF THECONDITIONING OR PREPARATORY FACTORS OF SLOPE INSTABILITY
ASSESSMENT OF LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY
LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY
Expression of the likelihood that a landslide will occur in an area based on the local terrain conditions, not including the return period or the probability of occurrence of the instability processes.
Most regional landslide ‘hazard’ assessments (both direct and indirect) provide a ranking of terrain units only in terms of susceptibility (“spatial probability”), not including the temporal component of the hazard.
SUSCEPTIBILITY VS HAZARD
Gabbione, PaviaItalyRossetti (1997)
DIRECT APPROACH
Direct Landslide Susceptibility Assessment (Calhandriz Area)
3
Indirect Landslide Susceptibility Assessment (Information Value Method)
ITC, ILWIS Manual
By definition, a hazard map should include an evaluation of the probability of occurrence of new landslides, thus implying the consideration of a time dimension.
FROM LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO LANDSLIDE HAZARD
In the case of rainfall induced landslides the statistical analysis of rainfall data may enable both the definition of the triggering threshold and calculation of the recurrence interval.
UNCERTAINTIES AND DRAWBACKS
1) DATA LIMITATIONS
UNCERTAINTIES IN LANDSLIDE IDENTIFICATIONAND MAPPING
QUALITY, QUANTITY AND RELEVANCE OF THEAVAILABLE INFORMATION:
The discontinuous nature in space and time of slopefailuresThe lack of a complete historical data concerningthe frequency of landslidesThe difficulty of identifying the causes, the triggeringfactors and cause-effect relationship
2) MODEL SHORTCOMINGS
EFFECTIVENESS AND RELIABILITY OF THE AVAILABLE MODELS
DIFFICULTY IN EXTRAPOLATION OF LOCAL DATATO LARGER AREAS
4
3) ADDITIONAL PROBLEM
THE DIFFERENT SPATIAL INCIDENCE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SLOPE MOVEMENTS,NORMALLY RELATED TO DISTINCT THRESHOLDSCONDITIONS CONCERNING PREPARATORY ANDTRIGGERING FACTORS.
ASSESSMENT OF LANDSLIDE HAZARDFOR EACH TYPE OF SLOPE MOVEMENTS
Indirect Landslide Susceptibility Assessment (Information Value Method)
Rotational movements susceptibility assessment (Information Value Method)
Translational movements susceptibility assessment (Information Value Method)
Shallow translational slides susceptibility assessment (Information Value Method)
VALIDATION OF SUSCEPTIBILITY AND HAZARD
WHY TO VALIDATE ?
Evaluation of the predictive power of models with respect to future slope movements
Strictly speaking, validation of the prediction of future landslides is only possible with the ‘wait and see’ procedure.
