Abstract
Landslides are life-threatening events that can have a great impact on population and infrastructure especially in the mountain areas. The Carpathian region is characterized by active development and special conditions for the formation of landslide processes. The analysis of spatio-temporal patterns of mass movement processes within the Carpathian region confirms the multifactorial nature of their formation, but the priority of each factor depends on the certain circumstances with different combinations of lithological and stratigraphic conditions. tectonic processes, geomorphological structure, and hydrogeological situation. This work presents the results of an integrated approach of landslide hazards assessment in the rural area in the Ukrainian Carpathians. An efficient technique including geological, geomorphological geophysical surveying for the monitoring of landslide processes and their local predicting for model sites in the Ukrainian Carpathians has been proposed. Socio-cultural effects on the perception of risk have been investigated to develop more efficient and robust mitigation systems. It was studied the awareness level and expectations of the public about the state programs of landslide prevention and mitigation.
