Evaluación y mapeo de susceptibilidad a deslizamientos para una vía de segundo orden en los Andes del sur del Ecuador

Abstract

The study focuses on the evaluation of landslide susceptibility in a micro-basin in the Andes of southern Ecuador. Three objectives were set: collection of information from a basin affected by anthropogenic activities, preparation of a susceptibility map using AHP in a GIS, and mechanical characterization of soils and slope modeling. The study highlights that altering land use in water recharge areas can trigger landslides.
