Inventory of landslide risk assessment methodologies in Europe

Résumé

With the development of the EU soil strategy and the likely implementation of an EU soil framework directive, the question has risen to what extent different methodologies to assess risk for soil degradation differ, and to what extent it would be possible to harmonize these risk assessment methodologies (RAMs). The objective of this work is to present the results of an inventory of landslide RAMs performed at the scale of the EU27 member states, to highlight their main differences and limitations, and to identify some possible options for harmonization. Questionnaires were sent out to several contacts in the EU27 to obtain information about the characteristics and the implementation of the landslide RAMs. Among 76 questionnaires sent, 32 questionnaires were fulfilled and stored in a database which is available on the web (www.ramsoil.eu). The analysis of the questionnaires was com-pleted by an analysis of reference documents (research papers, internal reports) sent by the contact persons in each EU member state. This allowed to assess the status of landslide RAMs for 24 member states of the EU27, as well as for Switzerland because of its pioneering work in landslide hazard and risk assessment. First, the EU member states have been categorized according to (1) the use in practice of an national landslide RAM, (2) the use of a RAM still in development and (3) the absence of landslide RAM.
