Multi-temporal analysis of landslide susceptibility in the Greater Bogor Area and its relation to land use change and rainfall variation

Landslide susceptibility in the Greater Bogor Area is a significant concern due to its hilly topography, soil types, and high rainfall. This research examines the geographical and temporal variations in landslide susceptibility and the relationship between land use change, rainfall, and landslide occurrence. Landsat 7 ETM+, CHIRPS, and DEM satellite data were used to simulate landslide susceptibility. The study used 2000, 2010, and 2020 data to examine land use and precipitation changes. The weighted overlay method created a landslide susceptibility model that considered precipitation, land use, slope, rock, and slope. The association between land use change, rainfall, and landslide susceptibility was examined using correlation analysis. According to the findings, the Greater Bogor Area is highly prone to landslides, with a growing tendency in landslide events. 22.48% of the area has a very high susceptibility classification to landslide; meanwhile, 66.46% has a high susceptibility classification. Moreover, this study also found that the land use factor correlates more positively with landslide susceptibility than the rainfall factor. Overall, this study underlines the need to take land use dynamics and rainfall patterns when assessing landslide susceptibility and the need for effective mitigation measures in the area.
