Geologic Hazard Assessment of Slopeland Villages Using Remote Sensing Techniques

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study focuses on 53 villages located in the slopelands of Pingtung County. Remote sensing image interpretation techniques are used to identify geologic hazard areas. GIS map overlay analysis of environmental geologic maps, landslide susceptibility maps and potential debris flow torrent maps provided by local and regional governments are used to further interpret and correctly identify the extent of the geologic hazard zone. This study successfully combines both GIS and GPS techniques, and according to data analysis results, constructs a slopeland village geologic hazard assessment method.
