Abstract:
The Landslide Susceptibility Map of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina depicts areas according to their level of landslide risk. The map was developed through the integration of various data sources, including a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), land use data from the CORINE Land Cover (CLC) database, as well as geomorphological, geological, and hydrological factors influencing landslide occurrence. The map serves as a professional basis for risk assessment, planning of protective measures, spatial management, and for scientific research and educational purposes.
Purpose:
The Landslide Susceptibility Map was developed to identify and spatially represent areas within the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina according to different levels of landslide risk. The map serves as a professional basis for risk assessment, planning of preventive and protective measures, spatial management, support in planning and project decision-making, as well as for scientific research and educational purposes.

Statement:
The landslide susceptibility analysis was conducted using a 10 m resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM), the Geological Map of the Republic (OGK) at a scale of 1:100,000, and land use data from the 2018 CORINE Land Cover (CLC) database. The data were processed and integrated in a GIS environment to produce the susceptibility map, with verification of spatial and attribute consistency, and harmonization with the applicable technical standards of the Federal Institute for Geology.
