Abstract

In the last decades the landslide assessment plays a crucial role in land use development in order to minimize the negative effect of economic live and people’s health. This paper present a GIS based landslide susceptibility assessment. This model is applied on the Littoral Coast line from Constanta to 2 Mai village, which is about 50 km along the Black Sea coast, crossing the Danube – Black Sea Channel at Agigea and passing through several resorts – Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, Techirghiol, Costinesti and Mangalia. The data used are: geological map (lithology per geologic group), topographic maps of relevant scale to define slope angle (β), and some geotechnical parameters per geological group. For each of them a GIS map was produced. Based on the research results, we could conclude that Landslide Susceptibility Area (LSA) maps represent a great tool used in the identification of areas predisposed to landslides and could be used as support in the decision-maker process in order to propose environmental work protection or county planning.
