Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of applying GIS–MCA–AHP integrated model in landslide susceptibility assessment for warning of dangerous areas in the Tan Uyen district of Vietnam. The main research method is a Multi-criteria assessment that is based on a hierarchical analysis process and a combination of the GIS spatial analysis model. Research results have shown four main groups of factors causing landslides including hydrogeological factors, topographic and geomorphological factors, surface cover factors and human impact factors. The landslide susceptibility assessment map has identified 22.69% of the area (204.96 km2) with a high and very high risk of landslides. Based on the overlapping population distribution map and landslide susceptibility assessment map. It has been shown that residential areas, including 723 households located at a high risk of landslides need to be moved to a safe area. This is a very significant research direction in a warning and minimizing the risk of landslides in mountainous areas of Vietnam.
