Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in Ampang Jaya: Comparing Probabilistic Method and Weighted Overlay Method

Abstract

Abstract When it came time to produce the map, the entire district of Ampang Jaya was chosen as the area for the research. These two approaches gave very different results in terms of accuracy. The results of the map were categorised using a range of different classification techniques, some of which include Natural Breaks and Equal Interval, respectively. Various landslide susceptibility hazard zoning results were found when the two different classification systems were applied to the data. These zoning areas need to go through an accuracy assessment process in order to be validated. The accuracy of the model was evaluated by comparing the findings about the historical locations of landslide occurrences with the findings regarding the susceptibility hazard locations of potential landslide areas. Because the accuracy of the Probabilistic technique was 66.67% for Equal Interval and 73.33% for Natural Breaks, respectively, this demonstrates that the Probabilistic method produces more dependable results than the Weighted Overlay method produces. Therefore, the accuracy assessment results indicate that the probabilistic method provides more reliable information for accuracy assessment than the Weighted Overlay method. This is due to the fact that the result of the accuracy assessment obtained from Weighted Overlay is significantly lower than that obtained from Probabilistic for each classification technique.
