| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This handbook presents a framework for landslide risk management, describes technical terms and methods of landslide risk analysis, and provides a set of landslide risk case studies in forest development. It has been prepared for both forest resource managers and terrain stability professionals. The objectives of the case studies are: ﾕ to demonstrate approaches for the analysis of landslide risk in forest development, based on a common framework, terms, and concepts; ﾕ to illustrate different types of analyses for estimating landslide probability and consequence for cases with differing site conditions and elements; and ﾕ to highlight the application of current terrain stability research in professional practice in the British Columbia forest sector. The case studies focus on landslide risks. Forest resource managers may be required to also evaluate other types of risks, such as financial risk, that are not within the scope of this handbook. This document is divided into five chapters. ﾕ Chapter 1 introduces landslide risks in forest development. ﾕ Chapter 2 contains fundamental terms and a framework for landslide risk management. ﾕ Chapter 3 builds on the information contained in Chapter 2, further develops the terms, and introduces methods of landslide risk analysis. ﾕ Chapter 4 contains the case studies using the terms, framework, and methods presented in Chapters 2 and 3. ﾕ Chapter 5 summarizes key aspects of landslide risk management. The accompanying appendices present associated reference material. Where practical, references and explanations are not repeated between chapters. Rather, where appropriate, readers are referred to specific sections of the handbook for more detailed explanations. |
