Weight Linear Combination

 

The following maps are drawn using fuzzy.  Color scheme represents landslide susceptibility of the area.  The greener it gets, the higher landslide susceptible is, and black represents lowest susceptibility.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Result and Comment

 

Examining the maps, this particular location ¡°Boun¡± region is a highly landslide susceptible area.  Especially, the West end of the area of the map is the most susceptible due to its higher slope, low tree density, small tree diameter and age, and high fault compared to any other part of the map area.  Because there are such strong evidences that the West end of the map is the most susceptible to landslide, stronger reinforcement for landslide prevention effort need to be put in to the area.  Human residential development needs to be prevented from building around this area, and if it must be done, then there is great need for landslide protection techniques in order to prevent the landslide and minimize the effect if it occurs.
