TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used geomorphological information to assess areas at high landslide hazard, and help mitigate the associated risk, and found that despite the operational and conceptual limitations, landslide hazard assessment may indeed constitute a suitable, cost-effective aid to land-use planning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the principles for landslide mapping, and review the conventional methods for the preparation of landslide maps, including geomorphological, event, seasonal, and multi-temporal inventories.

TL;DR: In this article, a global database of 2,626 rainfall events that have resulted in shallow landslides and debris flows was compiled through a thorough literature search, and the rainfall and landslide information was used to update the dependency of the minimum level of rainfall duration and intensity likely to result in shallow landslide and debris flow established by Nel Caine in 1980.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined three well-documented landslide events, from Italy, Guatemala and the USA, each with a different triggering mechanism, and found that the landslide areas for all three are well approximated by the same three-parameter inverse-gamma distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of statistical methods for landslide susceptibility modelling and associated terrain zonations is presented, revealing a significant heterogeneity of thematic data types and scales, modelling approaches, and model evaluation criteria.
