Abstract : Landslides are among the most destructive natural hazards, causing significant loss of life, infrastructure damage, and environmental degradation. Accurate landslide hazard zonation (LHZ) is essential for risk mitigation and planning. This paper discusses the integration of remote sensing techniques and geotechnical data to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of LHZ mapping. Remote sensing provides spatially continuous and multi-temporal datasets, while geotechnical data offers in-depth insight into soil strength, slope stability, and subsurface conditions. The combined approach facilitates the creation of detailed hazard maps that can be used by policymakers, engineers, and planners. This paper explores data acquisition methods, integration techniques, analytical models, and real-world case studies, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration for effective landslide hazard management.
