Abstract: | Rockfalls are a natural process of cliff and hillside erosion and can be simulated by computer programs. RocFall is a useful and well-known program which produces envelopes of kinetic energy, velocity, bounce height and fall-out distance
for a selected profile. However, with this program it is difficult to record the spatial distribution of the envelopes in
their exact coordinates in GIS. In this paper, a method and computer code (FallGIS) written by the authors is proposed for
mapping the results obtained from RocFall in ArcGIS. As it is both user-friendly (hence quicker) and does not require any new software, it is hoped it will be a useful tool
for engineering geologists, urban planners, etc.
