SLOPE HAZARD AND RISK MAPPING:

A TECHNOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Slope Hazard and Risk Mapping in the Tropics: Why it is a challenging task?

• In the monsoon-dominated regions, landslides occur in areas characterized

by steep hillslopes, high rainfall intensities, seasonally dry periods, unstable

slopes and also under forests.

• Landslide inventory maps are fundamental for assessing landslide

susceptibility, hazard, and risk.

• The compilation of landslide inventory maps is a tedious procedure due to

the fact that each individual landslide has to be mapped and described

together with their characteristics according to standard practices.

• Conventional landslide mapping

techniques (aerial photos have limitations in a forested

mountainous environment

>> multi-sensor LIDAR is a promising tool for

solving an old geological problem !!

PBRC PROJECT OBJECTIVES

• To produce slope hazard and risk information in the selected areas for the local authorities in Malaysia for a better slope management.

• To provide conceptual proposal and cost estimation for mitigating and strengthening high risky slopes.

• To assist government agencies and local authorities in land-use planning towards a sustainable land management.

• To develop geospatial infrastructure for national geological terrain and slope information.

1. Methodological working framework for slope hazard and risk mapping

has been developed for PBRC project

2. Multi sensor (airborne and terrestrial) system is a critical tool for providing

an accurate geospatial data input (very high resolution DTM and DSM) for

landslide hazard and risk assessment in the tropics.

3. PBRC creates a platform for developing a comprehensive landslide

inventory using LiDAR technology for regional and national purposes.

4. PBRC promotes multi-disciplinary and knowledge-based approach for

complex landslide assessment and disaster risk reduction initiative in

Malaysia.
