In August 2005 more than 500
landslides caused huge damages
as well as two fatalities in eastern
Styria (Austria).
These landslides were triggered by exceptional rainfall (up
to 210mm/36h) during the night between 21st and 22nd
of August. Most of landslides occurred in the region
Gasen/Haslau (eastern Styria).
The study area consists of two communities - Gasen and
Haslau – which cover an area of about 60 km² and count
about 1131 residents. The landslides have been mapped
by the Department of Engineering Geology of the
Geological Survey of Austria.
In this study the Spatial Prediction Modelling System
(SPM) and particularly the likelihood ratio model proposed
by Chung and Fabbri (2003, 2005) is applied to generate
and validate landslide susceptibility maps.
