Abstract

This paper presents the results of landslide susceptibility and landslide hazard mapping together with preliminary landslide risk studies on qualitative basis. The target area is situated in the south of Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, in the valley of Mailuu-Suu River. There are several uranium waste tailings situated in the target area and there is the risk that landslide activity can result in an environment catastrophe through destruction of waste tailing and damming of river channel leading to flooding of radioactive material. For remediation measures and risk mitigation there is the need to have reliable estimates of landslide susceptibility and hazard in target area on local and regional scales.
