| Project Summary: |
The main activities of the research groups involved in the Croatian-Japanese joint research project on „Risk Identification and Land-Use Planning for Disaster Mitigation of Landslides and Floods in Croatia” include investigations of recent landslides using landslide monitoring, the establishment and development of early warning systems for landslides, flash-flood and debris-flow simulation models, development of early warning systems adapted to hydrological and geological conditions in Croatia and the definition of hazard zones using a methodology for assessing susceptibility and hazards based on local geological and landslide conditions. The final objective of the joint research is the development of risk mitigation measures that can be instituted through urban planning. Dissemination
and use of the results should ensure significant benefits for the local and regional communities that are directly and indirectly threatened by landslides, flash-floods and With debris-flow. |
