Recommendations for the quantitative analysis of landslide risk
Abstract: We present a slightly abridged and adapted translation of the review paper “Recommendations for the quantitative analysis of landslide risk” by Italian, Spanish, Greek, British, Dutch, and French researchers (Corominas et al., 2014). It was published in 2014 in the peer-reviewed journal “Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment” by the Springer Science+Business Media publishing company. It is an open access article on the ResearchGate website under the CC BY 2.0 license (the previous version of CC BY 3.0 and CC BY 4.0), that allows it to be distributed, translated, adapted, and supplemented, provided that the types of changes are noted and the original source is referred to. In our case, the full reference to the original paper (Corominas et al., 2014) used for the presented translation is given in the end. This paper presents recommended methodologies for the quantitative analysis of landslide hazard, vulnerability and risk at different spatial scales (site-specific, local, regional and national), as well as for the verification and validation of the results. The methodologies described focus on the evaluation of the probabilities of occurrence of different landslide types with certain characteristics. Methods used to determine the spatial distribution of landslide intensity, the characterization of the elements at risk, the assessment of the potential degree of damage and the quantification of the vulnerability of the elements at risk, and those used to perform the quantitative risk analysis are also described. The paper is intended for use by scientists and practicing engineers, geologists and other landslide experts. The translation of the paper was carried out with the support of the PETROMODELING Group of Companies and Aleksey Bershov.
