Abstract

In modern science, different innovative methods are often used to achieve the desired results. One of these methods is GIS technology. With this technology you can achieve the right results. In order to assess the level of risk of landslides and hazards, along with the production of appropriate maps with GIS, the development of the territory will be improved and landscape planning will be properly applied. Such maps will help to minimize and eliminate losses caused by landslides that may occur in the future.  The causes of landslides are classified in the above-mentioned studies. The first group of causes includes the main causes while the second group takes responsibility for the activation of landslides. The main causes of landslides are morphometric relief parameters, lithological rock composition and soil moisture index, and average constant precipitation and seismicity - activating factors. ArcGIS was used to improve the accuracy and reliability of landslide propagation.
