Technical note Temporal remote sensing data and GIS application in landslide hazard zonation of part of Western ghat,India

Spatial and temporal multi-layered information is required to assess landslide hazard susceptibility. The manual method of data integration for targeting potential zones susceptible to landslide hazard is time consuming. The present study highlights the utility of temporal remotely-sensed data and knowledgebased Geographical Information Systems for collection, integration and analysis of spatially-oriented data, as well as in finding out the inherent relation between separate entities in parts of West ghat in India.
