Landslides caused countless economic and casualty losses in China, especially in mountainous and hilly areas. Landslide susceptibility mapping is an important approach and tool for landslide disaster prevention and control. This study presents a landslide susceptibility assessment using frequency ratio (FR) and index of entropy (IOE) models within a geographical information system for She County in the mountainous region of South Anhui, China. First, the landslide locations were ascertained in the study area using historical landslide records, aerial photographs, and multiple field surveys. In all, 502 landslides were identified and randomly divided into two groups as training (70%) and validation (30%) datasets. Additionally, the landslide-influencing factors, including slope angle, slope aspect, curvature, landform, lithology, distance to faults, distance to roads, distance to rivers, rainfall, and normalized difference vegetation index, were selected and their relative importance and weights were determined by FR and IOE models. The results show that the very high and high susceptibility classes cover nearly 50% of the study area. Finally, the comprehensive performance of the two models was validated and compared using receiver operating characteristic curves. The results demonstrated that the IOE model with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.802, which is slightly better in prediction than the FR model (AUC = 0.786). The interpretation of the susceptibility map indicated that landform, slope degree, and distance to rivers plays a major role in landslide occurrence and distribution. The research results can be used for preliminary land use planning and hazard mitigation purposes.
