Abstract

Natural hazards are naturally occurring phenomena that might lead to a negative impact on the environment and also on the life of living beings. These hazards are caused due to adverse conditions of weather and climate events, and also due to certain human activities that are harmful to the environment. Natural hazards include tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic activity, landslides, etc. Among these natural hazards, landslides are among the most common natural hazards resulting in loss of life and property each year, leading to socio-economic impact; thus to avoid such losses, a comprehensive study of landslides is required. Landslides generally occur in hill region with steep slopes, heavy precipitation, loose shear strength of soil or due to many human activities like afforestation or construction activities. To resolve the problem of landslides in a hilly region, much research is conducted annually, providing a predicted landslide susceptibility zonation (LSZ) mapping of the area of research. The predicted landslide susceptibility maps are verified based on the past landslide data, an area under the curve (AUC), and other methods to provide an accurate map for landslide susceptibility in any area. In this study,93 research articles are reviewed for analysis of LSZ, and various observations are made based on the recent trends followed by various researchers over the world over the past ten years. The study can be useful for many researchers to practice their research on landslide susceptibility zonation.
