Vegetation mapping using IRS satellite images for the study region was attempted and associated with the landscape map. A risk analysis was proposed based on terrain difficulty and access to the nearest Health care Center. Based on this, the above factors alternate routes were suggested to access ...
Naveen Raj, T., Ram mohan, V., Backiaraj, S., and Muthusamy, S "Landslide hazard zonation using the relative effect method in south eastern part of Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, India", International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 3 (4), PP. 3260-3266, 2011...
The landslide susceptibility index will be calculated by back propagation method and the susceptibility map will be created with a GIS program. The results of the landslide susceptibility analysis are verified using landslide location data. In this research GIS is used to analysis the vast amount of...
In order to understand such landslide causes, the relative effect method, a new technique, has been adopted for the study area. Among various methods, this is a statistical method developed within the framework of the Geographic Information System to map landslide hazard zones in a mountainous ...
This study aims to develop landslide susceptibility mapping for Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India using GIS and remote sensing. The Northeast monsoons often trigger numerous landslides in the Nilgiris district of Tami Nadu, resulting in a high death toll and considerable property damage. The ...
The Nilgiris district in the Tamilnadu state of India is frequented by many landslides in the recent past. Though many of these landslides are rainfall-induced, there is a need to evaluate the potential of earthquake-induced landslides considering seismicity of the region. In this paper, ...
Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India, is one of the landslide-prone zones. In recent years, this district has suffered a lot from landslides. A study was done using the geospatial technology–based analytical hierarchical process (AHP) model, a multi-criteria approach integrated with ...
The article provides the data on distribution ofStrobilanthesin the Nilgiris of Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu, India.Strobilanthesis large group of gregarious blooming, and the flowering periodicity is noted only for the best known south Indian species,Strobilanthes kunthianaof a particular site (the ...
Eco - degradation activity in the Nilgiris is related to following causative factors viz., slope, landuse, geology, geomorphology, drainage, lineaments and rainfall. A change detection map and a transition matrix was prepared from satellite data of three different decades, which indicates the amount...
Different approaches were followed by many researchers in India to prepare landslide hazard zonation mapping depending upon their need and requirement. The Nilgiris district in Western Ghats of India is one of the severe to high landslide hazard prone areas of India. Many agencies have carried out ...
