Abstract. This paper introduces the Landslide Susceptibility Assessment
Tools – Project Manager Suite (LSAT PM), an open-source, easy-to-use
software written in Python. Primarily developed to conduct landslide
susceptibility analysis (LSA), it is not limited to this issue and applies
to any other research dealing with supervised spatial binary classification.
LSAT PM provides efficient interactive data management supported by handy
tools in a standardized project framework. The application utilizes open
standard data formats, ensuring data transferability to all geographic
information systems. LSAT PM has a modular structure that allows extending
the existing toolkit by additional tools. The LSAT PM v1.0.0b implements
heuristic and data-driven methods: analytical hierarchy process, weights of
evidence, logistic regression, and artificial neural networks. The software
was developed and tested over the years in different projects dealing with
landslide susceptibility assessment. The emphasis on model uncertainties and
statistical model evaluation makes the software a practical modeling tool to
explore and evaluate different native and foreign LSA models. The software
distribution package includes comprehensive documentation. A dataset for
testing purposes of the software is available. LSAT PM is subject to
continuous further development.
