Abstract

Landslides are natural hazards typical for Alpine regions in Austria. They often lead to negative consequences for the society and environment and cause frequently high economic losses. Estimation of economic risks is a sound basis for landslide risk mitigation and prevention. This research aims to assess risk and estimate economic damage caused by landslides. The study area is located in the Ybbs valley, Lower Austria, a touristic region and a critical transport corridor. Methodology consists of GIS analysis and estimation of the monetary losses. Spatial analysis includes defining elements at risk located in the buffer zone of 100 m near landslides. The results include estimated losses caused by the destruction of immobility and transport, including costs for buildings demolition, restoration, roads rebuilding, debris transport, excavation and removal.
