Abstract

This paper presents an application of geoprocessing techniques as an auxiliary method to the geotechnical evaluation of landslides hazards on occupied slopes. Two interpolated digital models derived from statistical analysis (MDTs) produced steepness and geotechnical maps to test the method­ ology on two distinct areas of Rio de Janeiro State - Brazil. The results led to some information that can be useful to help the decision of removal or permanence of the inhabitants in similar areas in tropical countries.
