Comparing Landslide Hazard Maps
Westen, C. Van; Seijmonsbergen, A.; Mantovani, F. - In: Natural Hazards 20 (1999) 2, pp. 137-158
The objective of the method explained in this paper isto obtain a better insight in the decision rulesapplied by geomorphologists in the direct mapping oflandslide hazard. This can be obtained by forcinggeomorphologists to specify for each unit (polygon) intheir hazard map the criteria that they...
