Investigating the role of conditioning factors in landslide occurrence using Geospatial Information Systems and feature selection methods based on machine learning.
Sara Beheshtifar * , Pooya Noruzi
Abstract:   (247 Views)
A landslide is a natural hazard that can cause significant damage. Therefore, it is important to identify areas at risk of landslides to minimize their impact. This can be achieved by creating a sensitivity map, which involves selecting relevant factors and assigning appropriate weights. Factors and their weights can be determined using methods based on expert knowledge or machine learning and data-based methods. In this study conducted in the West Azerbaijan province, seventeen data layers related to landslide occurrence, such as geology and TWI, were prepared using GIS. These factors were considered as dependent variables, while the map of previous landslides served as an independent variable. Six different feature selection methods in the field of machine learning were employed to assess the correlation and influence of each factor on landslide occurrence. These methods included correlation method, information gain, gain ratio, CFS, Relief F, and symmetric uncertainty. The research findings indicated that different feature selection methods may yield varying results in determining effective factors. However, some factors, such as geology, were selected across all methods, suggesting a higher level of confidence in their significance. On the other hand, some factors, based on the available data, were not selected by any of the methods. Among the feature selection methods, symmetric uncertainty, information gain, and gain ratio produced similar results in terms of selecting factors. The Relief F method, however, differed from other methods due to its approach to defining neighbors. For instance, distance from the river, which was identified as a significant factor in other methods, was not selected by Relief F, while the type of soil and distance from the road emerged as conditioning factors only in this method. Finally, employing diverse methods for selecting landslide conditioning factors can simplify predictive models based on machine learning.
