ИСТИНА

This research aims to assess potential risk and estimate economic damage caused by landslides. The study area is located in the Ybbs valley, Lower Austria (Fig.1). Methodology consists of Arc GIS based spatial analysis and estimation of the potential monetary losses caused by landslides. Spatial analysis was used for defining elements at risk located in the risk zone of 100 m near landslides, and assessment of potential consequences. Results: calculated possible losses caused by the destruction of immobility and transport: costs for buildings demolition, restoration, roads rebuilding, debris transport, excavation and removal.
