Geology and landslide susceptibility mapping using geographical information system (gis) at Temangan, Machang, Kelantan

This research titled Geology And Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Using Geographical Information System (GIS) At Temangan, Machang, Kelantan .This study area was located at Temangan, Machang in area of of 25 km2 . The purpose of this study is to update the geological map of the study area and to provide research on the landslide susceptibility map within the study area. The source that been used at the beginning of the research was through previous research and the literature review that has been conducted in the surrounding area . In addition, analysis of the structure such as fault and geomorphology of the study area is also done through data collected. Next, the method that been used in generating the landslide susceptibility map is by using the Geographical Information System (GIS) which used Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and collected data from previous research. The parameter that triggered the occurence of landslide were analyzed and overlaid, in order to generated the landslide susceptibility map. The data Digital Elevation Model (DEM) had been used to extract the parameters. The results showed the landslide susceptibility map is divided into 5 classes very low, low, moderte, high and very high. The higher the classes, the more prone the region is to landsliding. Based on the result of Landslide Susceptibility Map, it can conclude that the study area consist of low susceptibility percentage and the probabiliy to landsliding occur is low.
