LANDSLIDE VULNERABILITY AND ITS IMPACT ON LOCAL COMMUNITY: A GEO-SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF DISTRICT MAND..

The downhill movement of slope debris along a surface when shear failure occurs is referred to as a landslide. This is an occurrence that occurs throughout the course of geomorphological transformation as a result of a large-scale catastrophe that causes major physical damage or devastation, loss of life, and significant environmental change. Every year, landslides occur in the Himalayan region, resulting in fatalities and significant economic loss. However, if the potential of danger is detected prior to any form of land development activity, the extent of the hazard impact can be decreased. Scientists, planners, administrative decision makers, and land developers are currently focused on landslide mapping, hazard assessment, and risk appraisal. In this context, the current study uses advanced geospatial technologies to examine the spatial pattern of landslide vulnerability and its impact on existing settlements in the study area. To confirm the findings, a GPS-based ground survey was carried out.
