A wide range of numerical models and tools have been developed over
the last decades to support the decision making process in environmental
applications, ranging from physical models to a variety of statistically-based
methods. In this study, a landslide susceptibility map of a part
of Three Gorges Reservoir region of China was produced, employing
binary logistic regression analyses. The available information includes
the digital elevation model of the region, geological map and different
GIS layers including land cover data obtained from satellite imagery.
The landslides were observed and documented during the field studies.
The validation analysis is exploited to investigate the quality of
mapping.
