    A Landslide Inventory Map (LIM) shows the location, extent, and type of past landslides in a region. LIMs are essential for predicting future landslides based on past conditions and factors that caused them. They are created through methods like interpreting aerial/satellite images, field investigations, reports, and community interviews to map landslide signs and locations over time. LIMs are also used to validate landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk maps.

    Landslide-inventory maps’

    A landslide inventory map records the location and, where known, the date of occurrence and
    the types of mass movements that have left discernable traces in an area

    A landslide inventory map records the location and, where known, the date of occurrence and the types
    of mass movements that have left discernable traces in an area which can be identified in the field, or in
    aerial photographs and satelliteLandslide

    inventory maps are prepared for multiple purposes including:

    (i) Documenting the extent of landslide phenomena in areas ranging from small to

    large watersheds, and from regions to states or nations.

    (ii) As a preliminary step toward landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk assessment.

    (iii) To investigate the distribution, types, and patterns of landslides in relation to

    morphological and geological characteristics, and

    (iv) To study the evolution of landscapes dominated by mass-wasting processes. imageries.

    A Landslide Inventory Map (LIM) shows the location, spatial extent and type of landslides in a region.

    they are essential for susceptibility models that predict landslide on the basis of past conditions. If
    these are not sufficiently available more emphasis should be given on expert assessment and
    evaluation. Therefore we need to know where landslides happened in the past. The conditions under
    which landslides happened in the past are analyzed and the relevant combinations are used to predict
    future ones. We need to understand the causal relations between landslides and the causal factors.
    These conditions differ for different landslide types, and therefore landslides should be classified into
    different types. Temporal information is essential to estimate the frequency of landslides. Therefore
    we need to know when they happened. Landslide inventories are also used to validate landslide
    susceptibility, hazard and risk maps.

    The generation of landslide inventories and a landslide database that covers a certain period of time is
    a tedious procedure. The methods that are considered useful for the generation of landslide inventory
    maps can be classified into the following main groups

     Image interpretation data collected from aerial photographs, high resolution satellite
    images, or hillshading images derived from detailed Digital Elevation Models. Also image
    interpretation using multi-temporal images from Google Earth has become a useful tool for
    landslide inventory mapping.
     (Semi) automatic classification of landslides from satellite images or Digital Elevation
    Models.
    o Based on spectral information by detecting fresh landslide areas from multi-spectral
    satellite images;
    o Based on altitude information by detecting landslides from multi-temporal high
    resolution (LiDAR) DEMs, or through radar interferometry
     Field investigation, by mapping landslide signs, scarp area, accumulation areas, and
    verification of landslides mapped through image interpretation and/or classification;
     Community reporting, by interviewing local people on locations, dates and impacts of past
    landslide event;
     Archive studies, by studying newspaper archives, old reports, road maintenance reports

    Figure M.1 and M.2 Represent inventory maps

    Active: An active landslide is currently moving. In the example shown erosion at the toe
    causes a block to topple.

    Inactive: An inactive landslide has not moved within the last 12 months and can be divided
    into 4 states: Dormant, Abandoned, Stabilised and Relict.
