| Abstract: | The paper presents GIS based spatial data analysis for landslide susceptibility mapping in parts of
Sikkim Himalaya. Six important causative factors for landslides were selected and corresponding thematic data
layers were prepared in GIS. The input data were collected from the topographic maps, satellite image, field
data and published maps. Numerical weights for different categories of these factors were determined based
on a statistical approach and then integrated in GIS environment to arrive at landslide susceptibility map of
the area. The landslide susceptibility map classifies the area into five classes of landslide susceptible zones i.e.,
very high, high, moderate, low and very low. An attempt was also made to validate the map with the existing
landslides of the area. |
