Outline (in English)

Course outline;
We will read the textbook in English that describes how to process digital elevation models. Programming in Python will be conducted based on the content of the textbook. Then, we apply decision trees, a type of machine learning, to the results to create a landslide discrimination model and a landslide prediction model, and produce a hazard map.

Learning objectives;
(1) Understand the principles of processing digital elevation models, which are representative of raster-type data, and be able to perform numerical calculations based on the principles.
(2) To be able to quantitatively evaluate the performance of discriminant models.
(3) To be able to create a hazard map based on a landslide discrimination model.

Learning activities outside of classroom;
Approximately 2 hours of prior study per week is required, especially for literature reading and programming.
Both the first and second semesters include practical training using GIS. Reviewing outside the class (at least 2 hours per week) is necessary because the practical training is not completed in the class.

Grading criteria/policy
