Analyzing the Geotechnical Aspects of Landslide Events and Disaster Vulnerability along CPEC route in Gilgit Baltistan
This study delves into the examination of landslides induced by shifts in land-use patterns within the CPEC, with a specific emphasis on exploring mitigation strategies and identifying influential factors. The CPEC, linking southwest China with Pakistan, faces challenges due to landslides, which impact priority infrastructure projects like roads and railways. We propose an evaluation index system to quantitatively assess landslide risks in the corridor. The repercussions of landslides on human habitation and the integrity of natural landscapes underscore the necessity of a comprehensive understanding of their origins, consequences, and effective mitigation approaches.
Frequent landslides pose significant risks to countries and regions, stemming from the interplay of internal and external Earth processes. They are a common geohazard, inflicting damage on infrastructure, buildings, and transportation systems, leading to human and economic losses. Our research scrutinizes the occurrences and Susceptibilities of landslides along the CPEC route in Gilgit Baltistan, presenting mitigation strategies grounded in a synthesis of existing literature and pertinent case studies. The study underscores the imperative of harmonizing environmental sustainability with economic development in this pivotal region, emphasizing the need for a balanced and integrated approach to ensure the longevity and resilience of both the natural environment and developmental initiatives.
