<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Landslides are very common problem in hilly terrain. Chamoli region of Himalaya is highest sensitive zone of the landslide hazards. The purpose of Chamoli landslide study, to observe the important terrain factors and parameters responsible for landslide initiation. Lithological, geomorphological, slope, aspect, landslide, drainage density and lineament density map generated in remote sensing and GIS environment. Data information of related geological terrain obtain through topographic maps, remote sensing images, field visits and geological maps. Geodatabases of all thematic layers prepared through digitization of topographic map and satellite imageries (LISS-III, LISS-IV &amp;amp; ASTER DEM). Integrated all thematic layers applying information value method under GIS environment to map the zonation of landslide hazard zonation map validation and verification completed by field visit. The landslide hazard zonation map classified in four classes very high, high, medium and low.</p>


Spatial data mining is a process of extracting expertise from large volumes of spatial data collected from different applications such as remote sensing, geographic systems and social networks, etc. The collected spatial data are too difficult for the human to analyze. Recent research focuses on data mining to extend the data mining scope from relational storages to spatial databases. A lot of effort put forth to summarize various spatial based knowledge discovery in data mining such as based on generalization, clustering based, spatial associations based, and approximations and aggregations based knowledge discovery are discussed. The discussion shows that spatial data mining is a promising area of information discovery and can lead to extensive research and many challenging issues.
