Abstract

In Turkey, landslides cause several types of damage in addition to causalities in every year. Because of the losses caused by landslides, applications to reduce damage and losses require the knowledge of current and potential spatial distribution of mass movements, called a landslide inventory. For the present study, a comprehensive landslide inventory of a landslide-prone area in Turkey, a part of Canakkale, Gallipoli Peninsula, was prepared. A total of 211 landslides were identified and mapped; most are rotational. Employing the landslide inventory, the possible causative factors of the landslides, considering their types and dimensions are discussed.
