Abstract

Landslide is a common natural hazard that usually occurs in mountainous areas. Rapid urban development and high traffic intensity movements have been hampered to a great extent by phenomenon of landslides. In ghat road section, vertical cuttings and steep slopes are induced slope failures. An assessment of landslide hazards is therefore a prerequisite for sustainable development of the hilly region. This review paper discussed about four approaches for landslide such as hazard zonation approach, GIS (Geographic Information System) based approach, rock slope stability approach, soil slope stability approach and slope software approach by various researchers in and around the world.

Keywords
