Landslide Susceptibility Analysis of Shiv-khola Watershed, Darjeeling: A Remote Sensing and GIS-Based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Summary
In the study, Remote Sensing and GIS tools were used to create a landslide susceptibility map of the Shiv-khola watershed in the Darjiling Himalaya. They considered nine factors, such as lithology, slope, land use, and more, using an Analytical Hierarchy Approach (AHA). The factors were quantified using pair-wise comparisons and MATLAB. They generated factor maps using various software and calculated landslide frequency for each class.
