| Summary: | This study aims to use Sig-Ahm integration to assess the susceptibility to
land-slide risk in the municipality of Djebahia, located in the northwest of
the province of Bouira (central Algeria). Using spatial data, this work is
also intended to study the main factors that cause the risk of landslides in
the study area. Five factors were considered in this research: slope,
appearance, altitude, land use and vegetation cover, and drainage. These
factors are weighted and ranked using the AHP method to generate a final map
that represents the susceptibility of the study area to landslides. The map
shows results at four levels, from very low to very high susceptibility. |
