Fuzzy Shannon Entropy: A Hybrid GIS-Based Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Method

Fuzzy Shannon Entropy: A Hybrid GIS-Based Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Method

Assessing Landslide Susceptibility Mapping (LSM) contributes to reducing the risk of living with landslides. Handling the vagueness associated with LSM is a challenging task. Here we show the application of hybrid GIS-based LSM. The hybrid approach embraces fuzzy membership functions (FMFs) in combination with Shannon entropy, a well-known information theory-based method. Nine landslide-related...

A GIS-based extended fuzzy multi-criteria evaluation for landslide susceptibility mapping

Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is making increasing use of GIS-based spatial analysis in combination with multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) methods. We have developed a new multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method for LSM and applied it to the Izeh River basin in south-western Iran. Our method is based on fuzzy membership functions (FMFs) derived from GIS analysis. It makes use of n...

GIS-Based Landslide Susceptibility Mapping on the Peloponnese Peninsula, Greece

In this paper, bivariate statistical analysis modeling was applied and validated to derive a landslide susceptibility map of Peloponnese (Greece) at a regional scale. For this purpose, landslide-conditioning factors such as elevation, slope, aspect, lithology, land cover, mean annual precipitation (MAP) and peak ground acceleration (PGA), and a landslide inventory were analyzed within a GIS env...

GIS-Based Landslide Susceptibility Mapping by AHP Method, A Case Study, Dena City, Iran

Slope instability research and susceptibility mapping is a fundamental component of hazard management in decreasing the risk of living with landslides. Landslide susceptibility is defined as the proneness of the terrain to produce slope failures and susceptibility is usually expressed in a cartographic way. The Dena city in Iran is a landslide prone zone because of its own characteristics inclu...
