Introduction

Urban areas are characterized by high population density and extensive infrastructure, making them vulnerable to geological hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, and sinkholes. The mapping of these hazards is crucial for risk assessment, disaster preparedness, and urban planning. This project aims to explore the various methods and techniques used in mapping geological hazards in urban areas, with a focus on their implications for sustainable development.

Project Research Overview

Mapping geological hazards in urban areas is crucial for understanding and mitigating the risks posed by natural disasters. This project will explore the various methods and techniques used in mapping geological hazards in urban areas, with a focus on their implications for sustainable development. The literature review will provide an overview of geological hazards in urban areas, discuss methods and techniques for hazard mapping, and review case studies and challenges in the field. The research methodology will outline the design, data collection, and analysis techniques used in the study. The discussion of findings will present the results of hazard mapping analysis, compare different mapping methods, and discuss implications for urban planning and disaster preparedness. The conclusion will summarize key findings, discuss implications for sustainable development, and suggest future research directions. Through this project, we hope to contribute to the body of knowledge on mapping geological hazards in urban areas and inform policy and planning decisions to build more resilient cities.
