The modelling process is based on a training set of landslides (70% of total landslides) and a set of controlling factor (slope, lithology, surficial formation, the topographic wetness index, the topographic position index, distance to thalweg, and aspect).
We propose degree of naturalness (Nd), distance to natural habitat (Dn) and the composite index distance to nature (D2N) as a highly comprehensible environmental indicator set that can be used as surrogate for land use related anthropogenic influence on biodiversity.
We created hazard maps using the vegetation complexity index, distance to river, and wind exposure as the heaviest weighted factors to assess areas of the terrain with the greatest vulnerability.
To achieve this aim, 80 blasting works were investigated and results of peak particle velocity (PPV) as a vibration index, distance from the blast-face and maximum charge per delay were measured and monitored to utilize in the modeling.
The models were designed by eleven conditioning factors such as elevation, slope degree, slope aspect, profile and plan curvatures, topographic wetness index, distance to roads, distance to rivers, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land use/land cover (LU/LC), and lithology along with two sets of training (213#) and testing (91#) landslide data.
Northern Ireland has a much higher Individualism index and a much lower Power Distance index than the other countries.
Power distance index (PDI) - Measures how people manage inequality in hierarchical relationships, i.e. manager-subordinates.
