Abstract
A compendium of structural and non-structural mitigation measures for different landslide types has been developed as part of the EC sponsored SafeLand project, to be used both as a basis for a web-based “toolbox” also developed as part of the project and more generally as a resource for a wide variety of users. Emphasis has been placed on providing a rational framework applicable to all the measures listed in the compendium, classifying them in relation to the terms of the “risk equation” (hazard, vulnerability, elements at risk) addressed by the specific mitigation measure. Hazard mitigation measures are subdivided in relation to the physical processes involved. The compendium is supplemented by fact sheets that provide specific guidance on hazard mitigation measures, including a brief description, guidance on design, schematic details, practical examples and references, as well as subjective (provisional) ratings of their applicability in relation to the descriptors used for classifying landslides. More details of the various mitigation measures considered may be found in Deliverable 5.1 of the SafeLand project.
