Abstract
The landslide susceptibility map estimates the quantitative relationship between known landslides and control factors, and it has been used for site selection of infrastructures and geo-disaster management. As landslides and rockfalls occur frequently in mountainous areas in Hebei Province, China, due to road construction, the managing government needs to evaluate the vulnerability of geo-disasters in the road slopes to avoid unfavorable site selection for subsequent road constructions. Some typical collector road slopes were used as the study area in Pingshan County, Hebei Province. By analyzing the landslide triggering factors, we determined classification criteria and proposed a comprehensive method for determining the weighting. The respective weighting was calculated by the AHP and CRITIC method, and the combination weighting was determined by the game theory method. The landslide susceptibility of collector roads was evaluated and mapped using the ArcGIS platform. The susceptibility map was validated using landslide field investigation. The validation results show the effectiveness of the susceptibility methods, given the good number of correctly classified landslides. The landslide susceptibility map could have a significant impact on reducing the vulnerability of infrastructure to landslides in Hebei Province, China.
期刊介绍：
Frontiers in Earth Science is an open-access journal that aims to bring together and publish on a single platform the best research dedicated to our planet.
This platform hosts the rapidly growing and continuously expanding domains in Earth Science, involving the lithosphere (including the geosciences spectrum), the hydrosphere (including marine geosciences and hydrology, complementing the existing Frontiers journal on Marine Science) and the atmosphere (including meteorology and climatology). As such, Frontiers in Earth Science focuses on the countless processes operating within and among the major spheres constituting our planet. In turn, the understanding of these processes provides the theoretical background to better use the available resources and to face the major environmental challenges (including earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions, floods, landslides, climate changes, extreme meteorological events): this is where interdependent processes meet, requiring a holistic view to better live on and with our planet.
The journal welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of Earth Science.
The open-access model developed by Frontiers offers a fast, efficient, timely and dynamic alternative to traditional publication formats. The journal has 20 specialty sections at the first tier, each acting as an independent journal with a full editorial board. The traditional peer-review process is adapted to guarantee fairness and efficiency using a thorough paperless process, with real-time author-reviewer-editor interactions, collaborative reviewer mandates to maximize quality, and reviewer disclosure after article acceptance. While maintaining a rigorous peer-review, this system allows for a process whereby accepted articles are published online on average 90 days after submission.
General Commentary articles as well as Book Reviews in Frontiers in Earth Science are only accepted upon invitation.
