Abstract

The landslide that hit Taliye village in Maharashtra, India, in July 2021 was a devastating tragedy that resulted in significant loss of life and damage to property. As a result, there is an urgent need to assess landslide hazard zones in the region, using advanced geospatial tools such as GIS and remote sensing. This review paper evaluates the use of these tools to identify and analyze such zones, and to provide recommendations for effective mitigation strategies. Using digital elevation models, satellite imagery, and geological maps, the study identifies four distinct hazard zones in Taliye, ranging from high to very low risk. The contributing factors to landslide hazards in the region are steep slopes, high rainfall, loose soil, and weak geological formations. The paper highlights the importance of providing data for mitigation, vulnerability assessment and helps administration in case of landslide hazard by providing data required for Disaster Management. The study recommends the use of advanced geospatial tools to monitor the landslide hazard zones in Taliye continuously, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners working on landslide risk reduction in similar regions. The findings underscore the need for concerted action to mitigate the risks associated with landslides in Taliye and similar regions.
