Abstract
Landslides are hazards which frequently occur and affect the life of human, animals and damage properties. Kattippara Panchayath is a highly landslide prone area in which landslides had occurred in different locations and public have been asked to stay away from this area. Currently there are no effective strategies to reduce the risks of landslides. A Geographic Information System has proved to be a useful tool for analysing and managing landslide related data. Landslide susceptibility map of the study area is prepared using Arc GIS software by combining some of the critical factors like land use pattern, geology, geomorphology etc. It can be used for assessing the risks of landslides, for developing early warning systems and mitigation plans. This paper seeks to identify the existing governance gaps in the study area, to ascertain the status of existing risk reduction measures available, the constraints associated with such measures, and thereby to suggest suitable measures to fill the identified gaps. This paper concludes with a synthesis of governance gaps and opportunities to reduce the risk of such disasters.
