Title

Identification and Distribution of Landslide Hazard Zones in Aizawl City

Abstract

Generalized hazard zone map of Aizawl city depicts the distribution of different prone areas of landslides in the city. Very low hazard zone covers the second smallest areas and distributed over the outskirts of the city. Low hazard zones are scatter but large areas are lying periphery of the city. Human activities and developmental works should be undertaken within these zones in consultation with experts. Moderate hazard zones extend over the largest areas of the city. The present condition of these zones may change to high hazard zones due to anthropogenic action. High hazard zones are also disperse in various parts of the city and several places of human settlement come under this zone. The Very high hazard zones cover the smallest areas and these zones are found at many places within the settlement areas. It is a constant treats of landslides especially during rainy season. The extent of landslides prone areas depends on the steepness of the slope, the bedding plane of the rocks, the amount of vegetation cover and the extent of folding and faulting of the rocks. It is the rocks that break and carry with the soil debris. Removal of the vegetation cover, developmental activities, poor ground conditions, geomorphic phenomena, and long spell of heavy rainfall are the main responsibility of soil erosion, destabilization of slope and landslides.

Key Words
