ARAS: a web-based landslide susceptibility and hazard mapping system

摘要: As in the case throughout the world, landslides in Turkey have accounted for significant amount of economic losses and caused damage to properties as well as the environment and inhabitants. For example, considering the last 70 years’ landslide records in Turkey, it was revealed that more than 60,000 people were affected due to landslides. Thus, in order to minimize the undesired landslide consequences, some measures and initiatives had to be taken. Particularly in the last 10 years, many projects have been initiated by the governmental agencies in Turkey. Of these, a web-based landslide susceptibility and hazard mapping system project, namely Disaster and Risk Reduction System (ARAS), has been initiated in 2016. The most important objective of ARAS is to establish a spatial decision support and analysis system to reduce the mass movement risk for mitigation efforts using today’s technologies …
