ABSTRACT

Geographic information systems as a tool for spatial data processing were used in many analyses for landslide problems. Landslides are a typical example of tasks whose causes, evolutions, and results are situated in spatial conditions. These analyses made in previous periods were done in maps where these studies could hardly be performed quickly and accurately. Implementing of two or more maps in one analysis represents a difficult task if made by paper maps and without GIS. Authors of papers presented on this conference used GIS for landslide evaluation from several maps (Santacana & Corominas 2002, Pauditš & Bednarik 2002, Fernández-Steeger et al. 2002), one paper used GIS for data archiving and presentation (Hroch et al. 2002), and most authors fully used GIS for three-dimensional modeling and detection of slopes, aspects, and landslide volume calculations (Clerici et al. 2002).
