Abstract
In view of the acute need to solve problems related to landslide hazards at local and regional levels, a system-based tool that integrates mathematical modeling and GIS technologies has been developed. The tool includes the descriptors (passports) of landslide sites in Kharkov region, targeted GIS, automated workstation with graphical interface, and the program simulating a stressed state of slopes under changes of geological-engineering conditions (LANDSLIP07). It enables research institutions, Ministry of Emergency, local governmental bodies to make effective decisions on the development of landslide-prone slopes, engineering protection of territories, and prevention of emergencies related to landslides. In case of such an emergency, it may serve as a basis for the development of an action plan for loss reduction and mitigation of landslide consequences.
These research activities have been carried out in the framework of the Institute of Telecommunications and Global Information Space of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and the IPL-153 Project “Landslide hazard zonation in Kharkov region of Ukraine using GIS”. This paper presents the main results of this research.
