AbstractAbout the Authors

The development of existing methodologies for assessing the regional landslide hazard, the authors developed an approach based on the integrated use of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and the susceptibility of the territory to the landslide processes, eliminates the subjectivity of expert assessments. As an information base were used remote sensing data area, supplemented by field work materials. Lots activation of landslide processes were further examined in 2015.
Estimates of regional landslide hazard based on a modified MAI for Lao Cai region showed a high degree of reliability and can be recommended for use in the developing of the integrated development plan for the territory.
