Summary

The article has created a landslide susceptibility map for the Sindhu Khola watershed in Nepal’s Sindhupalchok and Kavre districts using GIS and the frequency ratio method. They identified landslide locations during field visits and analyzed seven different factors like slope, aspect, and distance from drainage to understand their relationship with landslides. The map indicated that proximity to drainage and steep slopes over 30° were significant factors in landslide occurrences. The map’s performance was assessed with an AUC value of 79.65%, indicating satisfactory performance.
