2 Introduction What is landslide hazard analysis? Stability analysis for a specific slope: Limit equilibrium analysis of a specific slope using strength parameters and hydrologic parameters to obtain safety factor of the slope. Landslide susceptibility analysis: Joining geomorphological, geological, hydrological, and environmental factors to find a linear function which could be used to divide a region into several successive landslide susceptible classes and could best interpret landslide distribution in that region. Landslide hazard analysis: To analyze the probability of landslide occurrence in a given region and in a given time period. Landslide risk analysis: To analyze the amount of lost in a given time period. 2

4 Introduction Method of landslide hazard analysis Deterministic method: Limit equilibrium analysis of a region using strength parameters and a hydrologic model to obtain safety factors for slopes under rainfall of certain return period. Probabilistic method: Using a long-period multi-temporal landslide inventories to analyze the landslide occurrence probability for each slope under certain return period. Discrete probabilistic method: To analyze the spatial landslide occurrence probability and the rainfall temporal probability separately. Landslide occurrence probability is obtained via event-based landslide susceptibility analysis. Temporal probability is obtained by hydrological frequency analysis of rainfall. 4

5 Introduction Using GIS in landslide hazard analysis Construction of landslide inventories: Using an orthographic satellite image or a airborne multi-spectral scanner image or a scanned and rectified air-photo, we can interpret and digitize a landslide in GIS and construct a landslide inventory. Processing of landslide causative factors: A vector factor, like geological map, may be processed in vector GIS like ArcGIS or MapInfo. A raster factor, like slope gradient, may be processed in raster GIS like Eardas Imagine. Mapping of landslide hazards: Result of landslide hazard analysis is hazard levels or landslide probabilities in a region. GIS should be used to produce a landslide hazard map of the region. 5

6 Introduction Problems in Shihmen Reservoir Catchment Area The Shihmen Reservoir is an important water resources reservoir in northern Taiwan (Fig. 1). It has a catchment area of km2. From 23 to 25 August 2004, typhoon Aere crossed the northern part of Taiwan. The passage of typhoon Aere brought a maximum recorded rainfall of 1,578 mm and a maximum rainfall intensity of 88 mm/hr in the study area. During the typhoon, there occurred numerous landslides in the catchment area and caused the reservoir water become turbid, and the sediments even blocked the water intake and suspend water supply for 20 days. Millions of people and thousands of factories suffered this disaster. 6

10 Landslides triggered by Typhoon Aere 1,624 landslides ( total area 5.84km 2 ) were triggered. Of these, 633 were enlarged or reactivated old landslides. Most observed slope failures were shallow landslides on soil mantled slopes with depths less than 2 m. A GIS layer with attributes was constructed. This inventory will be used for training of a landslide susceptibility model in this study. 10

15 Data Processing Both multi-spectral (XS) and panchromatic (PAN) SPOT5 images were used. They were fused into a higher resolution (2.5m x 2.5m) false-color image for landslide interpretation. Multi-spectral image taken prior to typhoon Aere was used for calculation of normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI). Digital terrain model (DEM) of 5x5m resolution was corrected for erroneous data and filtered for noises, and then the DEM was reduced into a 10x10m resolution for further use. Geological map, rainfall data, NDVI, etc. are trnsfered into 10x10m grid data for further use. Slope gradient, slope aspect, slope height, etc. which are derived from DEM are also in 10x10m grid data format. Tools used are MapInfo vector GIS and EARDS Imagine raster GIS. 15

25 Logistic Regression Data in the Shihmen Reservoir catchment area for shallow landslides triggered by typhoon Aere were used for the analysis. The data set from landslide group contains 38,403 cells, 20,000 cells were randomly selected for building the model and the other 18,403 cells were used for validation. A randomly selected non-landslide data set of similar size was used in the logistic regression and validation. p F F F F F F F ln = p F F F F F F Occurrence probability p is taken as susceptibility index in this study.

27 Model Applications The landslide hazard model could be used for the prediction of future landslides providing a scenario rainfall distribution is given. The 100-year return period landslide hazard map could be used for general purposes, like for regional planning, engineering site selection and hazard mitigation policy making. The landslide hazard model could also be used for sediment prediction of a catchment area. 27

28 Sediment Prediction (1/3) From probability of landslide occurrence map, we may estimate shallow landslide area A sl as follow, A = ap sl ls i i where, P ls i is probability of failure at cell i, a is area of a cell; it is 100 m2 in this study. From spatial landslide probability map of typhoon Aere event, we can estimate landslide area to be 28,928,800m2, Actual landslide from the inventory is 2,872 landslides with a total area of 21,053,000m2. The difference indicates that mapping of the landslide inventory may have missed some landslides in shadows of the SPOT images. Furthermore, missing of small-scale landslides and deleting of repeated landslides in the event-based landslide inventory may also reduce the total area of landslide as compared to the prediction ones. 28

29 Sediment Prediction (2/3) We further adopted a soil-thickness prediction model from Chung (2008) as follow, h = ln S where, h is soil thickness (m),s is slope ( ). Inserting slope data into above equation, we can get soil thickness at each grid-cell in the study area and further estimate landslide volume V sl as follow, V = (494.29P P ln S ) sl lsi lsi i i Using the above equation, we could estimate landslide volume induced by typhoon Aere to be 25,510,700 m 3. Actual landslide volume using landslide area from inventory is 17,996,290 m3. Again, the difference is because of we have missed small-scale landslides, landslides in shadows and repeating landslides. 29

30 Sediment Prediction (3/3) To this step, we can successfully predict landslide location, area and volume in a drainage basin or catchment area using GIS. However, the amount of sediment yield in a catchment still requires estimation of soil erosion on the slope and sediment transportation in the stream. A distributed hydrological and sediment transport modeling should be further carried out so that sediment problem like that in the Shihmen Reservoir catchment area could be interpreted. GIS is a useful tool for managing and processing the model factors and also good for construction of a hazard map and application in regional planning, hazard mitigation, and sediments yield estimation. 30
