Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: This report describes a case study of technical cooperation for building landslide hazard mapping system through a capacity building project in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. This mapping system is managed by Geographical Information System (GIS) which allows easy access to landslide information available on the university's website. The mapping system is useful for other areas beyond the scope of this project, because it includes a landslide hazard mapping training program for local residents.
