Preface
A landslide is the movement of a mass of rock, earth, or debris along a slope under the influence of gravity. Landslides are triggered by rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, slope erosion by rivers, and human activities like slope cutting and excavation. Several landslides include slope failures developing within, and at the margins of already existing landslides. Therefore, if landslide topography can be identified on any slopes, the potential of developing new landslides can be defined with any degree. In order to research and produce an inventory of existing landslides or landslide prone areas, topographic maps, stereo-paired aerial photographs, and satellite images such as Google Earth, can be used. During our research, we refer to the models of landslide type mentioned below. Landslides are usually classified as deep-seated landslides or shallow landslides (slope failures). Information to assess the hazards and risks on slopes is considered based on the above data. Deep-seated landslides are usually composed of a main scarp and body or debris, while shallow landslides are composed of a scar part, a flow part, and a deposition part. In particular, deep-seated landslide
