This book presents landslide studies using the geographic
information system (GIS), which includes not only the science of
GIS and remote sensing, but also technical innovations, such as
detailed light detection and ranging profiles, among others. To
date most of the research on landslides has been found in journals
on topography, geology, geo-technology, landslides, and GIS, and is
limited to specific scientific aspects. Although journal articles
on GIS using landslide studies are abundant, there are very few
books on this topic. This book is designed to fill that gap and
show how the latest GIS technology can contribute in terms of
landslide studies. In a related development, the GIS Landslide
Workshop was established in Japan 7 years ago in order to
communicate and solve the scientific as well as technical problems
of GIS analyses, such as how to use GIS software and its functions.
The workshop has significantly contributed to progress in the
field. Included among the chapters of this book are GIS using
susceptibility mapping, analyses of deep-seated and shallow
landslides, measuring and visualization of landslide distribution
in relation to topography, geological facies and structures,
rivers, land use, and infrastructures such as roads and streets.
Filled with photographs, figures, and tables, this book is of great
value to researchers in the fields of geography, geology,
seismology, environment, remote sensing, and atmospheric research,
as well as to students in these fields.
