The modelling of rainfall - landslide hazard mapping using GIS and remote sensing for prediction and monitoring system / Noraisyah Tajudin

Landslides are natural phenomena that are defined as a tremendous flow of materials such as soils, rocks, organics, that travel from upslope to downslope, causing extensive devastation to human lives, properties, and infrastructures globally. Landslides can be triggered by a variety of factors, including strong earthquakes, heavy or prolonged rainfall, and a variety of human activities. In Malaysia, landslides are mainly triggered by frequent and prolonged rainfall, mostly associated with monsoon rainfall. Ulu Kelang, Selangor received the most exposure to rainfall since it is located at the toe of the Titiwangsa mountain range, making it an area prone to landslide occurrences. This study aims to develop a model rainfall-landslide hazard map for landslide prediction and monitoring to reduce and avoid related damage and loss caused by landslides.
