Description

Predictive landslide susceptibility mapping: A methodological Review

Files

Steps to reproduce

The review synthesized literature on GIS-based landslide susceptibility mapping sourced from four databases namely, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Science Direct, and Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) to ensure a thorough search of literature from different sources is consulted. This systematic review adhered to the PRISMA method, which stands for "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses" (Cortese et al., 2022). The PRISMA method is adopted in this study to ensure its replicability (Cortese et al., 2022). The search strategy employed the following terms and Boolean operators across the databases used in this study: "GIS-Based" AND "Landslide" AND "Susceptibility" AND "Mapping". This search yielded 3,124 results including 396 documents in Scopus, 540 in WoS, 2,127 in Science Direct, and 61 in MDPI. The search spanned a decade from 2013 to 2023 to assess the current state of GIS-based landslide susceptibility mapping literature. From the initial results, 926 articles were excluded for not being published within the selected timeframe of 2013 to 2023. An additional 270 documents were removed as they were not articles or book chapters. Four articles were excluded for not being published in English. Another 1,309 articles were excluded due to lack of open access, leaving 615 documents for download and further examination using EndNote.
