A GIS-based Comparative Evaluation of Analytical Hierarchy Process and Frequency Ratio Models for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping

Summary

The study assessed landslide susceptibility in Wen County, China, using the AHP and FR models. They identified 529 landslides and divided them into training and validation sets. Eight factors were considered, and susceptibility maps were generated. Validation results showed that the FR model had higher accuracy (AUC and SCAI) than the AHP model, making it a valuable tool for decision-makers and land-use planners.
