Bivariate statistical method

1. Landslide rupture

2. Relevant factors (parameters) for the prediction of
landslide :

- Lithology - Slope
- Landuse - Aspect
- Soiltype - Curvature

Statistical Map
Statistical Analysis Map
3. Weight value for each factor : Landslide Index




- Dens. clas : Landslide density within parameter class

- Density map : Landslide density within entire map

- N pixel (Si) : Number of pixels, which contain landslides per
parameter class

- N pixel (Ni): Total number of pixels in a parameter class
Statistical Analysis Map
Six weight value maps will be calculated:

1. lithology weight map
2. Soil type weight map
3. Landuse weight map
4. Slope weight map
5. Aspect weight map
6. Curvature weight map

Hazard succeptibility map
Data Available
Soil map

Contour lines(10m intervals)

Land use map

Landslide rupture map

Reference coordinate system for Srilanka: Central Meridian, False
Northing Latitude of origin, Scale factor, false northings and false
eastings are 200,000meters,

Used Software : ArcGIS 9.3

Work Flow
1. Created a file geodatabase (ArcGIS 9.3)
2. Imported our features( all shapefiles)
3. Rasterisation of our feature Landslide rupture (define the extent of
our raster by using mask)
4. Generated DEM using contours: define cell size and mask
5. Reclassification : Aspect, slope and curvature
6. Rasterization : lithology, landuse and soil type features ( polygon
to raster)
7. Zonal tables ( zonal statistics as table)
8. Join tables to corresponding classes
9. Calculate six weight value maps
10. Hazard susceptibility map (sum up all weight value maps)
(Weighted Sum Operation)

1.Rasterization:LandSide Rupture Feature
Cell size : 20m
Assign the extent of our raster
by using given mask feature
Total number of pixel
(2752)
2.Generation Aspect Slope and Curvature
1. DEM from Contour lines
(Spatial Analyst Tools TIN management)

Continue.
Spatial analyst tools
(Aspect, slope and curvature)
Aspect
Slope Curvature

All these rasters do not have values ( no Attribute tables, floating
rasters)


3.Rasterization:Lithology Landuse and Soil
Polygon Raster

Soiltype : 4 classes Lithology : 3 classes
Landuse : 21 classes
4.Reclassification
Spatial analyst tools Reclass Reclassify

Aspect 5 classes are made
Continue..
Slope 5 classes
Curvature
5 classes
Continue.
Slope Curvature Aspect
Reclassification of LanduseRaster
Landuse 4 classes
5.Zonal Tables
Spatial analyst tools Zonal Zonal statistics as table
We want to calculate the number of pixels of landslide that fall in each
class of our raster slope,
Repeated the same process is done for 5 remaining Rasters
6.Join Tables to Correspond Rasters
Join tables of each raster to its corresponding zonal statistic table,
Total number of pixels of that raster in each zonal statistic table,
Use Field calculator, added a new field of weight in our table
7.Field Calculator
Calculate the weight values
by introducing the given
formula in field calculator
8.Calculate Six Weight Value Maps
e.g. Aspect
-ve values mean Low Risk Area
+ve values mean High Risk Area
9.Weight Maps
Aspect weight map Slope weight map
Continue..
Curvature weight map Soiltype weight map
Continue.
Lithology weight map
Landuse weight map
