Landslides are the most far-flung natural hazards, causing loss of thousands of lives and billions of dollars annually worldwide. Particularly in the hilly regions has led to the necessity of in-depth study and research in the field of landslide hazard zonation. Despite many technical papers being considered in this area of study, there is no particular standard method available for evaluating and predicting the pattern of landslides. Different researchers come up with different methods for landslide hazard assessment, due to complexity involved in the landslide triggering mechanisms. As the triggering factors of the landslides are not uniform and the nature of the earth is not same, it is very often confusing to identify appropriate method to apply. This paper deals with the compilation of various landslide hazard assessment methods with adequate contextual information. A critical review is presented on each of these methods, highlighting their limitations and suitability of application.
