A spatial decision support system for extracting the core factors and thresholds for landslide susceptibility map

Spatial decision support system (SDSS) is an interactive, computer-based system designed to support a user in achieving a higher effectiveness of decision-making while solving a semi-structured spatial data. Satellite Remote Sensing and Digital Elevation Modeling are providing a systematic, rational framework for advancing scientific knowledge of our SDSS of geophysical phenomena that, often lead to observe the natural hazards or resources. Taking the advantage of these, more specifically, our study focused on using these to collect and measure the landslide data on a vast area located at Shei Pa National Park, Miao Li, Taiwan. Our source data includes (1) Digital Elevation Modeling is also used to investigate the landform, and (2) remote sensing image data are also employed to analyze the vegetation conditions. In addition, the process of generating landslide susceptibility maps involved on how to effectively extract the site-condition dominant attributes and thresholds for displaying the landslide occurrence accurately. Thus, the information from landslide must be categorized and thoroughly evaluated by an Advanced Data Mining Technique — Entropy-based classification method to construct the landslide knowledge rules. The knowledge scope with regards to core factors and thresholds are solved. Then, the susceptibility hazard maps are drawn and verifications are made. On the other hand, the conventional statistical method of Logistic Regression is used for comparison.
