For many it's stated as unknown. The goal of the field survey was to gather up-to-date information about the slope movement activity in 3 stream valleys descending towards the Danube. We found that most of the slope movements in the surveyed area are still active. In the other parts of the Gerecse many site's activity is still unknown. Estimated landslide hazard values in the Gerecse Hills Map 1 : The map shows how certain area is similar to the areas already affected by slope movements according to the four predictor variables. The most hazardous areas are the steeper loess slopes facing north or northwest.

These processes have been studied for a long time in the Gerecse, however, a comprehensive geostatistic based analysis has not yet been made for the whole area. Our goal was to create a landslide-hazard map by using four predictor variables. We achieved this by applying Chung’s (2005) „likelihood ratio function model” with thematic data aquired from local landslide inventory and geologic maps and geomorphometric parameters derived from global coverage SRTM-1 DEM.

Map 2: The used landslide inventory (NLC) stores the state of activity (active, inactive, unknown) for each site. For many it's stated as unknown. The goal of the field survey was to gather up-to-date information about the slope movement activity in 3 stream valleys descending towards the Danube. We found that most of the slope movements in the surveyed area are still active. In the other parts of the Gerecse many site's activity is still unknown.

Estimated landslide hazard values in the Gerecse Hills

Map 1: The map shows how certain area is similar to the areas already affected by slope movements according to the four predictor variables. The most hazardous areas are the steeper loess slopes facing north or northwest. These areas include the riverside bluffs and the narrow stream valleys descending towards the Danube in the northern part of the Gerecse Hills.
