Published Guidelines for development of landslide maps in Croatia

The LandSlidePlan project carried out thorough and innovative research on the methods of assessing landslide susceptibility for three characteristic geomorphological environments in the Republic of Croatia, which resulted in the creation of several prototype maps of landslides for use in spatial planning. Since they are the result of research into the methodology of creating large-scale landslide susceptibility maps that will have wide and long-term application in most cities and municipalities in the Republic of Croatia, the “Guidelines for Creating Landslide Maps in the Republic of Croatia” were created as part of this Croatian Science Foundation project as a publication that brings together in one place all the most important results of the project, which are necessary for the creation of high-quality zoning maps with information on susceptibility to sliding.

The guidelines are intended for landslide susceptibility map makers, and include chapters on input data, recommendations for making maps for local application, examples of landslide maps made within the framework of the LandSlidePlan project, and the use of maps in spatial planning. In addition, the basic terminology related to landslides as well as maps of landslides is given.
