In this paper, the landslide hazard and the effect of landslide-related factors at South Eastern part of Nilgiri District, Tamilnadu using the Relative Effect Method (REM) model, Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing data have been evaluated. There are different methods of landslide hazard zonation with some advantages and disadvantages. The authors suggest the Relative Effect Method (REM), which is statistical method using GIS software for landslide hazard zonation. This method determines the relative effect (RE) of each unit, such as surface geology, slope morphometry, climatic conditions, land use and land cover by calculating the ratio of the unit portion in coverage and landslide. The function that is used in this method is logarithmic. The advantages of the logarithmic function are in domain determination for output data and equality for plus and minus domains of calculated RE's. All the thematic layers are Display manipulate and analysis has been carried out to evaluate layers such as geology, geomorphology, slope, soil, land use and drainages. The computed index for each grid for each factor was summed and grouped into five classes. The landslide susceptibility map can be used to reduce damage associated with landslides and to land cover planning. Keywords: Landslides, Relative Effective Method, GIS, Nilgiris, Hazard Zonation. 1. Introduction Landslides are frequent and annually recurring phenomena in the Nilgiri plateau. Outward and downward movement of mass, consisting of rocks and soils, due to natural or man-made process is termed as a landslide. When the landslides endanger humans and their installations, they are known as hazards and when they cause property damage and loss of life, they are known as disasters. The unprecedented rains caused more than a hundred landslides within an area of 250 sq.kms in 1978 and in 1979 the incidence of landslides was on a much larger scale and nearly two hundred landslides were recorded in the Nilgiris district. Such severity of disastrous landslides has not been felt in any part of the country so far. Detailed investigation of individual slides was later taken up. Data pertaining to the geological, geomorphological and hydrological features and other factors which, individually or in combination, trigger landslides were gathered in detail. These aspects were studied with an objective of suggesting comprehensive planning and designing of preventive structures and to outline precautionary measures. Available aerial photographs and landsat imagery were studied for identifying palaeoscars and regional structures which may have a bearing on the landslide phenomena. ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 4 April
2 Heavy rains in November, 1979 brought in large scale landslides in the Coonoor sector, eventually overtaking the landslide investigation which was in progress. The devastation due to landslides was even more severe in 1979 than in This new development entailed partial reorientation of work and modification of priorities. As the landslides of 1979 were more massive and of larger magnitude, detailed profiles of landslides, detailed mapping on larger scale and in a few instances, survey with terrestrial photogrammetric work, were taken up. 2. Research Area Fig 1: Base Map of the study area The area for which landslide susceptibility map (LSM) is prepared, lies between the latitudes 11 o N and 11 o N, and longitudes 76 o E and 76 o E, and covers an area of 526 km 2 approximately is given in the (Fig.1). The area falls under survey of India Toposheet no 58 A/11 and 58 A/15.The minimum and maximum altitudes are 550m and 2070m respectively above mean sea level. 2.1 Regional Geology The Nilgiri ranges comprise Archaean metamorphic rocks which include Charnockite. Charnockite rocks have been referred in earlier literature as Dharwar schists. They are at present included under the Sargur schists. A brief description of the individual rock formations is given below Charnockite Charnockite forms the bulk of the rock units in the Nilgiri district. This hypersthenes-bearing bluish grey rock forms the basement in high grade metamorphic terrain. It is interbanded with or carries enclaves of supra crustal rocks of divergent composition including metasedimentary sequences. The charnockite has granulitic texture and carries quartz, feldspar, hypersthenes, garnet and hornblende. Biotite, apatite and zircon are present as accessory minerals. Variants of charnockite, especially the basic or ultrabasic types are found in a few places. Some geologists have classified the charnockite as garnetiferous or non-garnetiferous types depending upon the presence or absence of garnet in the rock. Most of the peaks and high points in Nilgiri district are charnockite massifs. ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 4 April

The long axis of the plateau is in the direction of east-north-east. Over the years, phsiographers have been made a moot point that the Eastern Ghat abut into the Western Ghat in the Nilgiri ranges.the plateau has a length of 55km and a width of 32 km approximately, occupying an area of 1800 sq.km. It is bound by the Bhavani river on the southern side and by the Moyar river in the north. The water divide in this part of the Peninsula passes through the western edge of the plateau as shown in the (Fig 2). 3. METHODOLOGY In this study, the relative effect of a parameter as a determining factor of slope instability is quantitatively determined by introducing a Relative Effect function (RE). Given an area of study that contains a certain number of landslides, various thematic maps (geology, slope, soil thickness, soil texture, soil permeability, plant and forest) are prepared. Each map is covered individually by the landslide map. For every unit, the ratio of the unit area, a, to the total area of the study, A, and the ratio of the landslide area in the unit, sld, to the area of total landslide, SLD, are calculated; AR= a/a SR= sld/sld The relative effect function is then defined as: RE =Log (SR + ε), AR Where epsilon is a very positive value near zero. There are three cases for estimating a relative effect of each unit depending on it s RE. 1) RE is less than zero when the share of a unit in landsliding is less than its share in area Coverage. This means that it has an effect of decreasing landslide risk (negative effect). 2) RE is greater than zero when the share of a unit in landsliding is greater than its share in area coverage. This means that it has an effect of increasing landslide risk (positive effect). 3) RE is zero when the share of a unit in landsliding is equal to its share in area coverage. This means that it has no effect of decreasing or increasing landslide risk. The advantage of using logarithmic function is that the positive effect and negative effect are quantitively equal. Then using a GIS, all maps are integrated and an evaluation of landslide risk is determined by algebraic summation of REs, multiplied by alpha, Slide risk = (ƩRE X α) ISSN : Vol. 3 No. 4 April
4 Where Alpha is zero if there is no risk of landslide (e.g., slopes less than 5 degrees), otherwise the value of alpha is 1.The higher positive values of slide risk indicate a higher risk of landslide and the higher minus values of slide risk indicate a lower risk of landslide. We can also judge the effectiveness of a unit by simple summation of absolute values of REs. Units with higher values of summation of absolute REs, will be more effective and more important in landslide management and hazard mitigation than those with lower values. 4. LANDSLIDE HAZARD MAPPING Interpretation of future landslide occurrence needs an understanding of conditions and processes controlling landslides in the study area. Three physical factors such as past history, slope steepness, and bedrock are the minimum components necessary to assess landslide hazard zonation. It is also useful to add a hydrologic factor to reflect the important role which ground water often plays in the occurrence of landslides. An indication of this factor is usually obtained indirectly by looking at vegetation, slope orientation, or precipitation zones. All of these factors are capable of being mapped. Specific combinations of these factors are associated with differing degrees of landslide hazards. The identification of the extension of these combinations over the area being assessed results in a landslide hazard map. The scope of this study was to generate landslide hazard zonation maps that can be utilized to identify the potential landslide hazard in the mountainous area. A landslide zonation map was prepared based on REs of the geological units, soil type, landuse and landcover, geomorphology, drainage density, distance to drainage, lineament density, slope (Tables 1 to 8).
