Landslide susceptibility zonation using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) in the Great Xi'an Region, China.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to delineate landslide susceptibility maps using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method for the Great Xi'an Region, China, which is a key planning project for urban construction in Shaanxi Province, China from 2021 to 2035. Multiple data as elevation, slope, aspect, curvature, river density, soil, lithology, and land use have been considered for delineating the landslide susceptibility maps. Spatially thematic layers and distributed maps of all the aforementioned parameters were created in a GIS environment. Determine the relative importance of these thematic layers in the occurrence of landslides in the study area concerning historical landslide data to assign appropriate weights. Landslide sensitivity maps were generated by a weighted combination in a GIS environme
