Abstract
 Early Landslide Prediction in Non-Alpine Areas Track: Mining and Geosciences Author(s): Bernhard Klingseisen, Philip Leopold Damages caused by landslides have increased drastically in the last years. Current research concentrates on soil creep in the province of Burgenland, Austria, where little is known about the distribution of these hazards and their triggering factors. During the project, 72 landslides were surveyed and characterized using mobile GIS. The landslide events together with factors like geology, land use, and topography shall help to predict endangered areas. Weights of Evidence modeling is utilized to calculate the probability for future landslides based on known hazards and geological and landscape factors. The resulting landslide susceptibility map is designed for use in urban and regional planning. For better understanding, it is reclassified into three levels of endangerment. Validation shows that 98 percent of landslides in a control group are correctly predicted. In the future, the study area will be extended and in-depth investigations will be carried out in the identified high-vulnerable regions.
