Abstract
Kundasang has been identified as one of the major geological hazardous area in Malaysia. This is due to the existence of numerous landslides occurrences at some locations in the Kundasang area. The occurrence of landslide has resulted substantial damaged to the building structure, access road, telecommunication towers and agriculture orchards. Several studies and attempts of landslide investigation have been conducted in the Kundasang area using various methods such as localized drilling method, geodynamic mapping and a regional geological structure mapping. These methods have not gathered sufficient information which is considered important in developing a complete landslide inventory to assess landslide susceptibility due to constraint of time and cost. This paper presents a critical review to determine the potential use of light detection and ranging (LiDAR), specifically airborne laser scanning (ALS) for landslides mapping to assess landslide susceptibility of the Kundasang area. Several researchers found that the usage of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) such as airborne laser scanning (ALS) has been a successful technique in landslides mapping. Availability of this new technology for identification and mapping of landslides will assist in obtaining of landslide inventory in term of providing clear, complete and accurate information to investigator for the process of interpretation. With such comprehensive information, landslide susceptibility assessment can be conducted precisely. Most likely the usage of ALS may be a way forward for investigating the landslide phenomena in Malaysia.
