  Landslide Susceptibility Mapping and Population Exposure Analysis of Bula, Camarines Sur
  Author(s): Francis T Villarez*
  
  Massive landslides, mostly in the form of shallow and deep-seated rotational slumps, translational debris slides, rock slides, planar slope failures and incipient slides, some of which turned into debris flows, occurred in the Municipality of Bula in Camarines Sur. These landslides were triggered by heavy to torrential rains brought about by strong typhoons that hit the municipality. Most of the landslides and incipient slides occurred in the southwestern hilly portions of Bula, particularly in the barangays of Caorasan, Itangon, Inoyonan, San Francisco, Bagoladio, Taisan, and Kinalabasahan. Landslide events within the said barangays mainly occurred on steep to very steep river valley walls, on moderately dissected high hills and along road cuts. The study aims to classify between areas that are critical or susceptible to landslides and areas free from landslide. .. View More»
