Mass movement stationary hazard maps of Georgia including precipitation triggering effect: Fuzzy Logic approach.
2022
Each year landslides cause many disasters in mountainous areas all over the world. The territory of Georgia, due to the frequent reoccurrence of large-scale hazardous geological processes, growth of population, vulnerable infrastructure and land use as well as number of large engineering constructions, most vulnerable mountainous regions in the world. It is of great importance for disaster risk reduction to create reliable and accounting correctly for all important factors massmovement stationary and dynamic hazard maps of Georgia, including precipitation. The precipitation is a strong triggering impact, which, after exceeding some threshold lead to initiation of mass-movement. In order to include precipitation factor we use the Fuzzy Logic approach. The resulting precipitation-accounting landslides/mudflows stationary hazard maps of Georgia are compiled. Tab. 1, Fig. 4, Ref. 22.
