Abstract
The present work is focused on the distribution of landslides in Foglia River basin (central Italy), using a heuristic approach supported by GIS tools for the construction of statistical analysis and spatial data. It aims to investigate any dependencies and/or relationships between natural factors related to the study area and landslides. In the study area, 2821 landslides were surveyed covering a total area of 155 km2 that corresponds to 22% of the entire basin. The findings of the study highlight the importance as well as the role of individual factors, such as lithology, land use, orientation, and slopes, which led to the development of landslides analyzed.
