Application of Fuzzy Weights of Evidence Method in Landslide Susceptibility Assessment based on GIS

摘要

This paper deals with landslide hazards susceptibility assessment in the study area from Zigui to Badong counties in TGP reservoir region using RS and GIS technology. The causative factors including lithology, distance to faults, elevation, slope aspect, slope angle, drainage network, distance to river and distribution of plant are derived from geological map, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Spot imagery data using RS and GIS technology. The paper analyzes landslide susceptibility assessment using fuzzy weights of evidence method, which could combine knowledge-based fuzzy membership values with data-based conditional probabilities to improve the accuracy of landslide susceptibility assessment. The research result is very coincident with the occurrence of the known landslides in the study area.
