Assessment of landslide susceptibility area using RS and GIS
Abstract:
In this study, THEOS satellite images application is used to classify the land use and scars of the landslide area for the risk assessment of catastrophic landslides in the area, Na Khao subdistrict, Krabi province. Satellite image in 2012 and 2015 was interpreted supervised classification method. In 2012, there were signs of landslides clear indicates the area affected is wide. A difference from 2015, the forest revived, leaving no trace behind. But the groove on the mountain from all the signs of the landslides is still noticeable. In this continuously accumulated situation, landslides will cause severe damage. The traces have occurred earlier, erosion makes it easier and faster than ever before. Together with the functionality of Geographic information system. The overlay data water sources, geological features, and scars of the landslide to analyze and zoning landslide. Geography and geological characteristics are mostly granite, and it has a high rate of decay. This type of rock increase of the landslide. The most dangerous landslide area is mainly concentrated in the southeast of Na Khao, with the elevation of 360m ~ 1350m. The mineral composition when disintegrated a layer of sand or loamy soil, sandy clay soil. This will impact on many settlements and construction sites. Moreover, it may cause the loss of life and property. Besides, some houses are located on the slopes, and some plains cut down the hillside. It is a factor to accelerate the flow of soil. The result from this study can be zoning the susceptibility area. Law development should be used to control the area to prevent the risk of a landslide. For reducing a loss of life and property. Also, the responsible person can survey to investigate to verify the accuracy of the visual interpretation and to use the information reliably.
