LANDSLIDE RISK ASSESSMENT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE VILLAGE OF PIROK NEAR TETOVE

Quantitative landslide risk assessment, considering the area and scale of investigation, represents a research challenge, that is reflected by need to analyse, in an analytical manner, using various complex methods. Those methods of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary observation, engineering geological and geotechnical modelling of natural parameters and causes of terrain instability are performed for landslide hazard and risk assessment. The deterministic and probabilistic dynamics models are applied to define and determine the relevant parameters that affect the quantitative landslide risk assessment. This eliminates the possibility of errors due to the subjectivity of the researcher. “Pirok”, near Tetove, is chosen as a case study. This landslide is known as a very active landslide that for a century threatens housing and infrastructure facilities, as well as the population that still lives on it. The “Pirok” landslide is active, deep, slow and complex landslide with periods of...
