Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Analysis of the Efficacy of Landslide Susceptibility ModelsJordan Henrique de Souza, Gislaine dos Santos, Gabriela Guimarães Gouvêa de Oliveira et al.This research aims to analyze the efficacy of SHALSTAB, IPT, SAGA, SMORPH and modified SMORPH models in evaluating landslide susceptibility. Statistical analysis concerning both the efficacy of the models in the prediction of landslide risks and the concordance between the models according to landslide occurrence or non-occurrence was performed. For this work, logistic regression, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, Kappa … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 31 May 2019 · 8,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Forest and Extreme Gradient Boosting with Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Penang Island, MalaysiaDorothy Anak Martin Atok, Soo See Chai, Kok Luong Goh et al.Landslide susceptibility models often face challenges of overfitting and overestimation. This research focuses on improving the predictive capabilities of the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms by applying Bayesian Hyperparameter Optimization (BayesOpt). Penang Island, a region in Malaysia prone to frequent landslides, was chosen as the study area. Ten Landslide Conditioning Factors (LCFs), including elevation, slope angle, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 16 Dec 2025 · 3,103 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandslide Susceptibility Mapping with GIS in Nagi Dada Area of Panauti Municipality, Kavrepalanchwok District: A Comparison Between AHP and FR MethodArju Bhattarai, HimLal Shrestha, Asim Timalsina et al.Landslide Susceptibility Maps (LSM) are useful for both development planning and disaster management. Currently, LSMs are primarily created using GIS and remote sensing techniques. Landslide susceptibility mapping relies heavily on selecting and weighting causative elements based on their impact on slope instability. GIS is useful for calculating static parameters such as slope and aspect, as well as generating landslide susceptibility … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 22 Aug 2024 · 7,093 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContamination Risk Evaluation of Groundwater in the Canton of Portoviejo-Ecuador, using Susceptibility Index and two Intrinsic Vulnerability ModelsSuhail SharadqahThe present study aims to investigate the applicability of DRASTIC, GOD and SI models in evaluating the groundwater vulnerability and risk of contamination in the Canton of Portoviejo, Ecuador. The groundwater vulnerability to contamination has been evaluated using DRASTIC and GOD models. Both models were able to classify the study area into different sectors of variable vulnerability. The coincidence of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2017 · 7,511 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandslide Susceptibility Assessment using Frequency Ratio Model Applied to an Area along the E-W Highway (Gerik-Jeli)Tareq H. Mezughi, Juhari Mat Akhir, Abdul Ghani Rafek, Ibrahim AbdullahProblem statement: The study area is frequently subjected to landslides especially alongside the E-W high way. This study demonstrates the implementation of the Frequency Ratio (FR) model with the aid of GIS tool to assess the contribution of every predisposing factor on landslides and produce a landslide susceptibility map to the area. Approach: A landslide location map of the study … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 9,093 accessesView PDF Cite
