Landslide mapping using geospatial techniques: A case study of the Bokoya Massif (Central Rif, Morocco)

Abstract

The terrestrial zone of Al-Hoceima National Park is faced with a multitude of natural and man-made hazards that threaten the stability of the soil and the ecological balance: earthquakes, coastal erosion, floods, fires and landslides. The creation of landslide susceptibility maps is a crucial step in making informed decisions for preventing and mitigating landslide risks. This work focuses on the analysis of landslide potential in the Bokoya massif, located in the central Moroccan Rif, using the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). Our aim is to develop a landslide probability map, which will be an important tool for land-use planning and risk management, helping to identify priority areas for further research.
