Abstract
Landslide occurrences in Greece, covering a long time period (1950–2004) were recorded and digitally stored using a relational database management system. The first evaluation of engineering geological data and the geographical distribution of the recorded cases led to the determination of most critical landslide prone geological formations, regarding lithology and structure and to a landslide hazard map compilation at a national scale.
