Abstract
The general plan of settlement always determines the future development of municipal area, housing and communal services, transport systems and industrial facilities. This plan is based on the urban area zoning according to the state of knowledge of the development and distribution of natural hazards. Knowledge of the engineering and geological conditions and their spatial (and temporal) variability involves mapping and dividing the city territory into zones of different purposes. Main task of mapping of natural hazards is to identify dangerous exogenous processes, as well as to present imagination on the map created by the study of literature and archive materials, preliminary decoding of optical satellite imagery and specified by field observations. Despite the extensive literature, we nevertheless do not always find comprehensive cartographic materials on the distribution of landslides providing direct danger to urban infrastructure with the purpose of its visualization and verification. It was found that landslides shown on the archive cartographic material (scale 1: 100,000 for 1997), could be located 300–450 m from their real location. Also in the study area more than 150 landslides are revealed by decoding of optical images of medium (MR) and high (HR) resolution. Totally 45 landslides within the town limits are investigated and systemized. 6 of them provide direct threat to urban infrastructure and vulnerable communities. According to the results of conducted works the modern map of landslide distribution for Sulukta town and its agglomeration area was developed. Though this simplified hazard map was designed for understanding and visualization not by experts in cartography field, the collected materials can significantly assist the researcher in understanding the development of landslide processes in region.
