Abstract

This paper reviews development of digital landslide databases in various countries and in Croatia. Countries that were chosen are those endangered by slope processes and/or those that have landslide databases established and available for review (e.g. Japan, China, New Zealand). The paper shows parameters used in the databases (in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia) and categories recommended for landslide inventory and database development at the global level. Terminology important in research and evaluation of landslide susceptibility, hazard, and risk is also reviewed. The availability of landslide data in Croatia is shown using the example of Rijeka area.
