Landslide susceptibility analysis of Shiv-Khola watershed, Darjiling: a remote sensing & GIS based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Summary
In the present study, Remote Sensing Technique and GIS tools were used to prepare landslide susceptibility map of Shiv-khola watershed, one of the landslide prone part of Darjiling Himalaya, based on 9 landslide inducing parameters like lithology, slope gradient, slope aspect, slope curvature, drainage density, upslope contributing area, land use and land cover, road contributing area and settlement density applying Analytical Hierarchy Approach (AHA).
