Landslide Susceptibility and Risk Analysis in Benighat Rural Municipality, Dhading, Nepal

Summary

This study examines the factors influencing landslides in the Benighat-Rorang Rural Municipality by analyzing soil structure, geology, land cover, geomorphology (primarily slopes and aspects), fault lines, drainage density, weather data, and road density to generate a comprehensive Landslide Susceptibility Mapping (LSM). The LSM will help in identifying landslide-prone zones (high to low), which will, in turn, enable stakeholders to implement appropriate mitigation measures across the landslide-induced rural municipality
