Abstract
Most landslide prediction models need to select non-landslides. At present, non-landslides mainly use subjective inference or random selection method, which makes it easy to select non-landslides in high-risk areas. To solve this problem and improve the accuracy of landslide prediction, the method of selecting non-landslide by Information value (IV) is proposed in this study. Firstly, 230 historical landslides and 10 landslide conditioning factors are extracted and interpreted by using Remote Sensing (RS) image, Geographic Information System (GIS) and field survey. Secondly, random, buffer, river channel or slope, and IV methods are used to obtain non-landslides, and the obtained non-landslides are applied to the popular SVM model for landslide hazard mapping (LHM) in western area of Tumen City. The landslide hazard map based on the river channel or slope method is seriously inconsistent with the actual situation of study area, Therefore, the three methods of random, buffer, and IV are verified and compared by accuracy, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under curves (AUC). The results show that the landslide prediction accuracy of the three methods is more than 80%, and the prediction accuracy is high, but the IV is higher. In addition, IV can identify the very high hazard regions with smaller area. Therefore, it is more reasonable to use IV to select non-landslides, and IV method is more practical in landslide prevention and engineering construction. The research results may be useful to provide basic information of landslide hazard for decision makers and planners.
