LANDSLIDE VULNERABILITY MAP OF BARANGAY FATIMA, PANTABANGAN, NUEVA ECIJA

Landslides are catastrophic geological risks that are unexpected. This study aims to develop a Landslide Vulnerability Map of Barangay Fatima, Pantabangan, Nueva Ecija. Landslide Mapping has been developed to mitigate the adverse effect of landslide. This study interprets and integrate landslide factors; elevation, slope, rainfall, soil classification, land cover, and proximity to road and fault lines to generate a landslide vulnerability map. The eigenvectors rendered by experts engaged are evaluated for consistency to obtain credible and acceptable findings using AHP. The results showed that rainfall had the largest eigenvector (32.66%), then slope (20.80%), soil texture (15.96%), proximity to fault line (14.02%), land cover (8.27%), proximity to a road (4.63%), and elevation (3.66%). This suggests that rainfall and slope are more important than the other factors. Moreover, monitoring of landslide occurrences in the area is advised so that future research can confirm the model's conclusions
