| Summary: | The aim of this study is to utilize the GIS techniques for slope instability assessment and
prediction in the University Sains Malaysia main campus new hostel area, in the Penang
State, peninsular Malaysia. GIS, can assist in terms of speeding up processing and
moreover in the hazard zonation and prediction assessment.
Nowadays, the problems of slope failure have become more serious. High speed
development without hesitation and doubt to build a structure on hill due to the shortage
of lands for certain countries contributed to the increasing of slope failure case. By this
reason, the work of maintenance for reduce the slope failure become more important
nowadays, so the system are needed for some person such as consultant, contractor,
developer and government to prevent the slope from fail effectively.
The research of project has a purpose to produce a system which can help to reduce the
risk to slope failure by using ERDAS Imagine Version 8.3. Few steps already be
recognize in this research such as data collection, confirm type of data which used to
analysis the slope stability and system monitoring. The results are produced in images
and these images should show the factor of safety for the entire area of a hill. From these
maps, we can know and define the danger zones on a hill.
The result of analysis would be check by using Slope/W for determined the effectiveness
of system. These software are user friendly and they can be used to do so many spatial
analysis and others. Hopefully in this project, the methodology of analyzing slope
stability using these two programs can be beneficial to those who are interested in doing
slope stability analysis.
