Abstract

The landslides that happened in Wayanad, Kerala in 2024 due to the rainfall revealed the growing susceptibility of the hill landscape in the Western Ghats. Although the extreme monsoon rainfall served as the short time precipitating factor, the landscape changes, namely slope cutting, deforestation, quarrying and unregulated hill settlements, played an important role in the intensity of the disaster. This study examines how the geomorphology, intensity of rainfall and anthropogenic alteration of terrain interact in developing the landslide hazard. The study presents the movement of debris-flow and vulnerability to settlement using terrain examination, satellite monitoring and published research on disasters. The research identifies the necessity of the hazard sensitive planning of settlements on hills and landscape-responsive building to minimize the risk of landslides in mountainous landscapes.
