Abstract:
Landslides are geological disasters affected by a variety of factors that have the characteristics of a strong destructive nature and rapid development and cause major harm to the safety of people’s lives and property within the scope of the disaster. Excessive landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) factors can reduce the accuracy of LSM results and are not conducive to researchers finding the key LSM factors. In this study, with the Three Gorges Reservoir area to the Padang section as an example, the frequency ratio (FR), index of entropy (IOE), Relief-F algorithm, and weights-of-evidence (WOE) Bayesian model were used to sort and screen the importance of 20 LSM factors; then, the LSMs generated based on different factor sets modeled are evaluated and further scored. The results showed that the IOE screening factor was better than the FR, Relief-F, and WOE Bayesian models in the case of retaining no fewer than eight factors; the score for 20 factors without screening was 45 points, and the score for 12 factors screened based on the IOE was 44.8 points, indicating that there was an optimal retention number that had little effect on the LSM results when IOE screening was used. The core factor set obtained by the method for comparing the increase in scores and the increase in corresponding factors effectively improved the accuracy of the LSM results, thus verifying the effectiveness of the proposed method for ranking the importance of LSM factors. The method proposed in this study can effectively screen the key LSM factors and improve the accuracy and scientific soundness of LSM results.
