Abstract

The history of landslide susceptibility maps goes back about 50 years. Hazard and risk maps later followed these maps. Inventory maps provide the source of all these. There are different parameters selected specially for each field in the literature as well as parameters selected because they are easy to produce and obtain data. This study tried to research the effect of elevation on landslides by reviewing the literature in detail. The used class ranges and elevation values were reviewed and applied to map sections selected from Turkey. By analyzing the results, the goal was to determine at which elevation ranges landslides occurred. The study tried to investigate the effect of the parameter of elevation using data from the literature. It works to compare the elevation values for map sections selected to compare with the literature. The study comprises two stages. The first step tried to acquire statistical data by researching the data from the literature. The data were investigated in the second stage. For this purpose, close to 1.500 studies prepared between 1967 and 2019 were reviewed. According to the literature, the parameter of was used in analyses because it is easy to produce and is morphologically effective.
