Beschreibung:
<jats:p>The paper considers the outcome of multi-criteria analysis of landslide
susceptibility on the NW outskirts of Fruska Gora Mountain, Serbia. The area
of the interest is known for landslide occurrences, and to focus on the most
affected areas, it was necessary to consider some principal factors
(lithology, slope inclination, rainfall, erosion, vegetation, altitude and
slope aspect) and sort them by their importance to the phenomena. Prior to
any criteria assessment, available data records had been assembled and
refashioned as raster datasets. Thereafter, the criteria arising from an
analytical hierarchy process (AHP) provided their weights of preference in
the final model. In addition, the model was analyzed for the information gain
and classified in accordance to the optimal informativeness. Being tailored
in the context of raster modelling, aided by the GIS spatial tools, our
result gained substantial correlation to the control reference map (a digital
photo-geological interpretation map of active and potential landslides).</jats:p>
