Abstract

Since 2012, a comprehensive investigation has been conducted to identify areas prone to landslides, with the objective of implementing preventive measures to mitigate the risk. To ensure effective monitoring, field inspections should be conducted at least twice a year in the designated landslide-prone areas. This study aimed to develop an inspection checklist for field assessments in landslide-prone areas by determining the key indicators and their respective weightings in terms of landslide risk. The effectiveness of the detailed inspection checklist was verified by applying it to landslide-prone areas. The analysis showed that the most useful way to categorize landslides was into three main types: soil slopes, rock slopes, and debris flows. The inspection items showed a high weightage towards dynamic vulnerability. The application of inspection checklists to landslide-prone areas suggests that implementing class-based criteria (Classes A, B, C) is a rational approach for the management of these landslide-prone areas.
