Abstract: This paper analyses optimal methods for the estimation of the environmental hazards with a case study of landslides causing degradation of the mountainous forest ecosystems. The aim of this work is analysis of possible methods of estimating consequences caused by environmental hazards affecting forest ecosystems. Methodological advances have been made in regional applications of landslides risk studies, including specific research questions, such as vulnerability estimation, economic estimation of the losses, assessment of risk perception and social aspects of risk, cartographic aspects of risk mapping, as well as elaboration of the methodology of the overall risk assessment.
