The study of High-Resolution Airborne LiDAR Data to delineate the landslide

susceptibility area based on DTM Parameters, Land use and Vegetation cover will
conduct in following phases. i. Acquisition of Satellite Digital Stereo Images/Digital
Topographic Map/Aerial photographs. This process involves the acquisition of HighResolution Airborne LiDAR Data from Bahagian Kejuruteraan Cerun, JKR Malaysia,
Satellite digital images from Malaysian Remote Sensing Agency, topographic map and
aerial photographic from Sarawak Land Survey Department. ii. Desktop Studies
Desktop study involves literature reviews of related information regarding vegetation
cover, landslide hazard mapping, satellite image interpretation and other related
geological information such as landslides, erosion, and areas of instability, geology
and geological structures. Aerial photographs and satellite imagery were also used to
gather information as above as well as the pre writing of Table of Content of the
research paper. iii. Processing of High-Resolution Airborne LiDAR Data, Satellite
Images and Aerial Photographs. The geological structures such as lineament, relict of
landslides and the accumulation of colluvium will be derive from a high resolution DEM
and multispectral satellite images. These information are based on the study of
vegetation cover of the study area. Other information on vegetation cover and landuse
will be extracted from aerial photographs and literatures. Attempt be made to verify the
accuracy of the images before analyses being carried out. iv Field Investigations The
purpose of the fieldwork is to locate and ascertain the general morphology and
engineering geology of the area besides identification of forest types, forest structures
and soil types. From this viewpoint, the features such as the geological structures,
distribution of colluviums, types of vegetation and land use that were demarcated on
the base map are then compare with the initially being draft from the desktop studies
based on the aerial photographs for accuracy. v. Analysis of data Field data such as
forest types, land use, physical characteristic of soil and geological information and
data from satellite images will be merge for analysing to find out the relationship
between geohazard potential and the distribution of specific vegetation cover. vi
Preparation of maps and texts The preparation of maps are based on the findings of
the image interpretation, how is the analysis being carried out and what are the
formulae used. The framework of the report writing will be tabled and presented before
being finalised. The findings of the research will be discuss in details together with the
recommendation in the last chapter.
