Landslide inventory, sampling and effect of sampling strategies on landslide susceptibility/hazard modelling at a glance

摘要: Landslides have a significant portion of responsibility on the damages and losses caused by natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, storms, and tsunamis all over the world. Thus, landslides and their consequences are of great importance among the scientists and authorities who want to minimize these effects for a long time. This procedure simply begins with the preparation of landslide database and inventory maps, which constitutes a fundamental basis for the further steps including landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk assessments. In this aspect, this procedure can be considered as one of the most important stages for any landslide work to minimize the undesired consequences of landslides. This stage can be realized using some statistical techniques such as simple random, systematic, stratified and cluster sampling strategies in the literature. In this chapter, firstly, basic landslide definitions …
