CONCLUSIONS

GIS assisted by multicriteria evaluation techniques appears suitable for landslide hazard assessment at medium scales in areas where no geotechnical data are available and adequate landslide statistical methods are not feasible

However, some subjectivity is still involved, mainly when assigning weights to the parameter classes
