Development of the Landslide Susceptibility Map of Attica Region, Greece, Based on the Method of Rock Engineering System

The triggering of slope failures can cause a significant impact on human settlements and infrastructure in cities, coasts, islands mountains. Therefore, reliable evaluation the landslide hazard would help mitigate effects such landslides decrease relevant risk. goal this paper is to develop, for first time regional scale (1:100,000), susceptibility map entire area Attica region Greece. In order achieve this, database triggered Region from 1961 2020 was developed semi-quantitative heuristic methodology called Rock Engineering System (RES) applied through an interaction matrix, where ten parameters, selected as controlling factors occurrence, were statistically correlated with spatial distribution failures. generated model validated by using historical data, field-verified Oregon Department Geology Mineral Industries, showing satisfactory correlation between expected existing level. Having compiled map, studies focusing risk assessment be realized Region.
