ArcGIS-based protocol to calculate the area fraction of landslide for multiple catchments
The area fraction of specific kinds of information in a catchment provides parameters to be utilized in catchment-scale analyses. For example, the area fraction of soil movement caused by landslides is an indicator for the estimation of the magnitude of landslides. However, catchment-scale analyses...

| description | The area fraction of specific kinds of information in a catchment provides parameters to be utilized in catchment-scale analyses. For example, the area fraction of soil movement caused by landslides is an indicator for the estimation of the magnitude of landslides. However, catchment-scale analyses often require applying the same processing to higher numbers of study catchments, making it a time-consuming process. Here an ArcGIS-based method has been presented to reduce cumbersome procedures for the calculation of the area fraction of several target surface data. The method applies automated and iterative processing to multiple catchments, whose location and scale are defined by users. This method may prove to be useful for calculating the area fraction of parameters other than landslide area (e.g., specific land use or lithology) within a framework of catchment-scale analysis. • An Arcgis-based method to calculate the area fraction of landslide area in catchments. • Manual work is reduced by automated and iterative processing based on ModelBuilder. • It can be used to get the area fraction of several surface information in catchments. |
