Abstract
Landslides represent a great problem in Serbia. According to current estimates 30-35 % of Serbia is affected by landslides. In this paper a landslide susceptibility analysis is done for SE Serbia. Study area covers 1507 km2. Relief is hilly or mountainous and characterized by high altitude differences. Analysis is done by geographic information system (GIS) and evaluation by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). For susceptibility assessment are used four factors: lithology, slope angle, distance to rivers and distance to faults. The most landslides are formed on slope steepness less than 30?. There is four classes of susceptibility in study area. Zone of very high susceptibility make 63.9 % of the study area. Zone of high susceptibility covers 15.7 % of the study area. The moderate class occupies 37.4% and zone classified as having low susceptibility accounts for 10 % of study area. Final landslide susceptibility map of SE Serbia is satisfactory.
Highlights
Landslides represent a great problem in the countries all over the world
Landslides are common in japan (YoSHImATSu & AbE, 2006), China (DAI & LEE, 2001a), korea (LEE & mIn, 2001), malaysia (LEE & PRADHAm, 2007), Iran (PouRGHASEmI et al, 2012; mAnSouRI DAnESHvAR, 2014), Tukey (AkGun & buLuT 2007), uSA (WACHAL & HuDAk, 2000), Italy (GuZZETY et al, 2008; PELLICAnI et al, 2014), Austria (ZIEHER et al 2016) and many others
For landslides susceptibility analysis seven maps are done (DEm, landslides, lithology, slope, rivers and faults). maps are created by AutoCAD map 2014 and exported to the Arcmap 10.1
Summary
Landslides represent a great problem in the countries all over the world. Landslides are common in japan (YoSHImATSu & AbE, 2006), China (DAI & LEE, 2001a), korea (LEE & mIn, 2001), malaysia (LEE & PRADHAm, 2007), Iran (PouRGHASEmI et al, 2012; mAnSouRI DAnESHvAR, 2014), Tukey (AkGun & buLuT 2007), uSA (WACHAL & HuDAk, 2000), Italy (GuZZETY et al, 2008; PELLICAnI et al, 2014), Austria (ZIEHER et al 2016) and many others. Landslides endanger human lives, facilities, roads, forests and agricultural land. In the framework of the European Soil Thematic Strategy European union recognized landslides as a soil threat requiring specific strategies for priority area identification, spatial hazard assessment and management (GunTHER et al, 2013). The Strategy considers landslides as one of eight soil threats in Europe. It is very important to identify areas where landslides can occur in the future (GunTHER et al, 2013)
