“…The method investigates the relationships between landslide and causative factor to predict the probability of landslide occurrence, which is a widely used approach among researchers around the world (Dou et al, 2015). Commonly used causative factors are elevation, slope, aspect, curvature, distance to river, drainage density, lithology, distance to faults, rainfall, distance to road and land use change (Ayalew and Yamagishi, 2004;Chau and Chan, 2005;Dou et al, 2015;Soma and Kubota, 2017a).
