Abstract

Landslides are significant natural hazards in many areas of the world. Mapping the areas that are susceptible to landslides is essential for a wise territorial approach and should become a standard tool to support land-use management. A landslide susceptibility map indicates landslide-prone areas by considering the predisposing factors of slope failures in the past. In the presented work, we evaluate the landslide susceptibility of the urban area of Senise and San Costantino Albanese towns (Basilicata, southern Italy) using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). In order, this method has required the definition of appropriate thematic layers, which parameterize the area under study. To evaluate and validate landslide susceptibility, the landslides have been randomly divided into two groups, each representing the 50% of the total area subject to instability. The results of this research show that most of the investigated area is characterized by a high landslide hazard.
