This paper presents a GIS-aided procedure for shallow landslide susceptibility mapping at a regional scale. Most of the … slope geometry, have been derived from the digital elevation model (DEM) while vegetation cover and thickness of superficial … susceptibilityassessment is very sensitive to the parameters selected. Compared to thetraditional methods, the main advantage of the GIS …
