Abstract

Landslides are movement of rocks, debris or earth along a slope. There are seven states into which the activities of a landslide can be classified into; they are dormant, relict, suspended, reactivated, active and stabilized. Landslide susceptibility map is very crucial as it provides significant data and information that is required for planning of landslide-prone areas as it provides crucial information about spatial probability regarding the occurrence of landslide which is very important in the planning of land use. This paper provides a review of various studies and experiments conducted in this domain of research. The focus area of the study is Sikkim Himalayan region as it shares some similar type of parameters.
