In the case of Cluj-Napoca Municipality, the analysis of the landslides is a frequently discussed topic due to its complex geology and urban expansion tendency. In this study, we chose the Gruia Neighbourhood in order to map the landslide evolution and land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes which occured between 2003 and 2021. In order to use the post-classification Change Detection method, we applied the supervised classification technique on three satellite imageries (2003, 2009, 2021), which were validated by high Kappa coefficient values, as it follows: 0,892, 0,879 and 0,931. Comparing the three classified imageries, we could conclude that a transition between agricultural land to urban areas is visible, with a total decrease of the agricultural land by 40,69% and a total increase of the urban area by 24,47%. In the evaluation process of the influence of the LULC change on the landslide evolution, we could observe that the increase of the urban areas led to the increase of the surface of the landslides, moreover, the slided territories on urban areas have increased by 200%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
