Study on Landslide Susceptibility Based on Multi-Model Coupling: A Case
In the past decade, the study of landslide susceptibility assessments has gained increasing attention. Generally, susceptibility models can be categorized into qualitative and quantitative analyses [].Qualitative methods, such as expert scoring and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [7,8], require researchers to have extensive field investigation experience and a solid theoretical foundation.
The 1972 Hong Kong Landslides: An Analysis
If one were to look at a map, the landslide by Po Shan Road happened at the edge of Lung Fu Shan, the major mountain for that area, and along that edge is the border of the city. Urban development is well known to be a major factor that affects the risk of landslides. ... a Case Study at Penang Island, Malaysia." Environmental Monitoring and ...
1972 Hong Kong landslides
Po Shan Road in the Mid-Levels was the site of the largest major landslide to occur in June 1972. The area in general had long been susceptible to landslips and rockfall since it was developed; several other major landslides had occurred at or near Po Shan Road before 1972. ...

Process of building collapse caused by the Po Shan Road landslide in
Urban areas in Hong Kong are often developed on hillside due to the lack of land resources. The densely distributed buildings located on the hillslope are thus threatened by landslide hazards.

The fatal landslides at Po Shan Road and Sau Mau Ping in the 1970s. Apart from man-made slopes, Hong Kong is faced with the insidious natural terrain landslide hazards. Based on a review of aerial photographs taken from 1924 to 2006, about 100,000 past landslides on natural terrain were identified ( MFJV, 2007 ).

Hong Kong's landslip warning system—40 years of progress
Early warning systems have often been considered an effective risk mitigation tools for landslides. In 1977, the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) of Hong Kong government established the world's first territorial-wide early warning system for landslide disaster. The Landslip Warning System (LWS) has then been continuously enhanced and upgraded in response to the enrichment of rainfall ...
