This book presents landslide studies using the geographic
information system (GIS), which includes not only the science of
GIS and remote sensing, but also technical innovations, such as
detailed light detection and ranging profiles, among others. To
date most of the research on landslides has been found in
journals on topography, geology, geo-technology, landslides, and
GIS, and is limited to specific scientific aspects. Although
journal articles on GIS using landslide studies are abundant,
there are very few books on this topic. This book is designed to
fill that gap and show how the latest GIS technology can
contribute in terms of landslide studies. In a related
development, the GIS Landslide Workshop was established in Japan
7 years ago in order to communicate and solve the scientific as
well as technical problems of GIS analyses, such as how to use
GIS software and its functions. The workshop has significantly
contributed to progress in the field.

susceptibility mapping, analyses of deep-seated and shallow
landslides, measuring and visualization of landslide distribution
in relation to topography, geological facies and structures,
rivers, land use, and infrastructures such as roads and streets.
Filled with photographs, figures, and tables, this book is of great
value to researchers in the fields of geography, geology,
seismology, environment, remote sensing, and atmospheric research,
as well as to students in these fields.
