摘要：AbstractThe Himalayan region is prone to landslides. Rainfall-induced slope failure activities in the Indian Himalaya cause considerable damage, posing a serious risk to life and property. This study attributes information regarding landslide triggering parameters to further delineate landslide susceptibility maps of Himachal Pradesh in the Himalayan region. The landslide inventory map was created using information from field visits, Linear Imaging Self-Scanning Sensor (LISS III), and Google Earth. Thereafter, eight landslide causative factors, viz. slope, aspect, curvature, elevation, Landuse Landcover (LULC), soil, lithology, and drainage density were performed by employing the weight of evidence (WOE), information value method (IVM) and the frequency ratio (FR) methods. Using the ArcGIS reclassification tool, the final landslide susceptibility zonation (LSZ) maps were categorized into five susceptibility zones: “very low, low, medium, high, and very high.” The success rate for WOE, FR, and IVM models was determined as 76.27%, 78.20%, and 76.09% respectively, depicting that the FR model based LSZ map is more accurate. According to the FR model based LSZ map, the highly susceptible classes in the case of aspect, curvature, and lithology are southeast, concave, and TBS, respectively. The sparsely vegetated areas are more prone to landslides than the other LULC areas. The higher elevations, ranging from 1191 to 1434, 1434–1655, and 1655–1876 m, are more vulnerable to landslide activities as compared to low elevations. The slope classes 30–45 and 45–60, medium drainage density class and fine loamy class of soils are more likely to landslides. The prepared susceptibility zone map can be used for future mitigation planning in the high and very high susceptibility zones in order to reduce landslide-related human and economic losses.
