Publisher Summary 1
Glade (geography, University of Bonn) brings together concepts and methods for landslide hazard research and management that extend beyond established engineering and natural sciences approaches. The methods will have value for scientists, engineers, policymakers, and managers working in research institutions, government agencies, and consultancies. Contributors in a range of disciplines, including geography, civil engineering, and earth sciences, deal with conceptual models, evaluation and management of risk, and end-to-end solutions of landslide risk. A synopsis develops suggestions for appropriate models for integration which can be implemented through organizations, consultant engineers, planners, landowners, and emergency services.

Publisher Summary 2
With the increasing need to take an holistic view of landslide hazard and risk, this book overviews the concept of risk research and addresses the sociological and psychological issues resulting from landslides. Its integrated approach offers understanding and ability for concerned organisations, landowners, land managers, insurance companies and researchers to develop risk management solutions. Global case studies illustrate a variety of integrated approaches, and a concluding section provides specifications and contexts for the next generation of process models.
