Klappentext zu „Landslide Vulnerability and Risk Identification “
Landslides are one of the most devastating disastrous events in the world and it is prominent in Sri Lanka during the rainy season. Being the highest mountain range in Monaragala district, Maragala Mountain has also been classified as a landslide-prone site. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to identify landslide risk and vulnerability of the area. Secondary and primary data were used to fulfill the objectives successfully. Prepared risk maps revealed the risk areas clearly while the facts are emphasizing the vulnerabilities. Based on qualitative data it was clear that there is a lack of awareness about landslide hazard, risk and vulnerabilities among the community, as well as authorities. Moreover, there are several cases of rockfall which happened during the past decade but people are reluctant to inform the authorities. The main reason is the lack of awareness and they never consider it as a potential risk.
