摘要

Albeit there have been many works in the field of landslide hazard assessment covering the Ukhimath area in the Mandakini River basin of the Uttarakhand Himalaya, there is a serious need for managing satellite/geospatial data with novel AI/ML techniques for the assessment of landslide hazards. Hence, a comprehensive machine learning-based framework is adopted, employing XGBoost, LightGBM, and Random Forest on Sentinel-2B multispectral and SRTM DEM data for landslide mapping, which helped to achieve exact delineation of high-risk zones with accuracy provided by acceptable Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) scores. This innovative methodology throws light on how the best AI/ML techniques can be utilized for the development of a Landslide Early Warning System (LEWS), thereby helping in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR).
