Landslide hazard and risk zonation—why is it still so difficult?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the problem of attempting to quantify landslide risk over larger areas, discussing a number of difficulties related to the generation of landslide inventory maps including information on date, type and volume of the landslide, the determination of its spatial and temporal probability, the modelling of runout and the assessment of landslide vulnerability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present recommended methodologies for the quantitative analysis of landslide hazard, vulnerability and risk at different spatial scales (site-specific, local, regional and national), as well as for the verification and validation of the results.

Use of Geomorphological Information in Indirect Landslide Susceptibility Assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of geomorphological expert knowledge in the generation of landslide susceptibility maps, using GIS supported indirect bivariate statistical analysis, was evaluated using a test area in the Alpago region in Italy, where a dataset was generated at scale 1:5,000.
