Hazard and Risk Slope Assessment (Penilaian Bahaya dan Risiko Cerun)

Slope failures, landslides, flood or any form of natural/geological event pose serious hazards yet are difficult to predict. Hazard and risk assessment are crucial processes in various industries, aimed at identifying potential dangers and evaluating their likelihood and severity. Hazard maps have been used throughout the world to identify areas of either existing or potential slope instability. Such maps have been applied to land development projects, new and existing highways, oil & gas, and mining works. In general, hazard maps can be developed in a number of ways, ranging from simple qualitative to quantitative approach.

Traditional methods of hazard and risk assessment often rely on manual data collection, which can be time-consuming, costly, and subjective. Nowadays, the framework implementation of slope hazard and risk assessment is driven by the state-of-the-art airborne and terrestrial Remote Sensing technology i.e. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) which has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing hazard and risk assessment processes, providing precise and efficient solutions for companies in various sectors. The integration of the LiDAR technology and multi-stage geospatial processing led to the production of terrain and morphometric features.
