Abstract

The need of living together with landslides in a sustainable way requires a strong effort in terms of landslide analysis. Traditional methods used for mapping and monitoring mass movements can benefit from the application of remote sensing techniques coupled with GIS analysis. The use of remote sensing technologies, whether air, satellite or ground based allows a rapid acquisition of quantitative data over wide areas, reducing the field work and, as a consequence, the costs. A modern satellite radar interferometry method of Permanent scatters (PSInSAR) is very useful. At Geological Survey of Slovenia, the PSInSARTM data were used to assess spatio-temporal factors which influence on slope mass movements and small, long lasting ground deformations were defined in the Škofjeloško Cerkljansko area during the years 1992–2000.
