N2 - The degree of hazard due to landslide in any region is difficult to assess manually. An automated system having capability to correlate causes contributing automated landslide hazard is expected to be an efficient alternative. The objective of this paper is to explain LHAZ (Landslide Hazard Automated Zonation) system, an automated system that has been developed to determine the intensity and extent of landslide hazard in a given region. The system is based on the automated understanding of thematic maps of landslide contributing factors such as soil, lithology, topography, geology etc. The system makes use of the knowledge base available in IS code 14496: 1998. Finally, using an inference scheme, it categorizes the region as different zones of landslide hazard and provides an output map depicting low, medium and high hazard zones.
