Abstract

The study aims at performing a statistic analysis of the frequency–area distributions of landslide in the province of Benevento (Southern Italy). A landslide inventory have been carried out by means of aerial photo interpretation and geological surveys and updated between 2001 and 2010 collecting 3,756 landslide event within 2,000 km\(^{2}\). Landslides population has been represented in a probability density distribution obtaining the power-law correlation. The obtained distribution of landslide areas shows a negative power-law relation with exponent of \(-2.42\) for large landslides. A positive power-law relation followed by a roll-over is observed for smaller landslides. The location of the rollover corresponds at about 10\(^{-1}\) Km\(^{2}\). Finally, the frequency–area distribution shows a good agreement with a three-parameter inverse-gamma distribution.
