Modeling landslides hazard along Amman–Jerash–Irbid Highway, Jordan by integrating open street map (OSM) and weighted linear combination (WLC) techniques

Many critical landslides frequently occur along the Amman–Jerash–Irbid Highway (AJIH) in Jordan causing many disastrous consequences. Landslides Susceptibility Mapping (LSM) is important for land use planning and risk management. The study presented in this research developed a landslide hazard map by integrating the Geographic Information System (GIS) and the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method. This integration was based on the analysis of ten thematic layers believed to influence landslide occurrence in the study area. Our landslide hazard map is classified into five hazard classes: very high (8.9
