Abstract

Landslide is the most dangerous type of natural hazard, with devastating consequences for human life and the economy as a whole. Landslides have become an essential responsibility to decrease their harmful consequences, which involves analyzing landslide-related information and anticipating prospective landslides. In this proposed work, the landslide susceptibility zones and the triggering factors were analyzed and classified using a deep neural network (DNNs). A geographical database is created in this study based on 2018 landslide potential points in Kerala, India. 13 districts and 10 parameters are used to create the geographic database: polygon length, polygon width, polygon area, buildings, roads, agricultural data, land use, land cover, longitude, and latitude. A DNN model is generated using fine-tuned parameter with 4728 historic landslide points. This proposed work predominantly concentrates on the experimental aspect, particularly the DNN architecture model has employed for training the dataset. This design employs the adamax optimizer, tanh as an activation function, and four hidden layers with a learning rate of 0.01 to get the highest accuracy with the minimum loss. We found 98.16% as the maximum accuracy after numerous testing operations, implying that the landslide in Kerala was primarily caused by debris flow.
