Abstract
The combination of the tectonic processes and the impacts on the environment can be seen in the form of landslides. Structural features such as faults, lineaments and folds play a major role in controlling landslides. This may help to evaluate more accurate landslide mapping. The phenomena of landslides from diverse origins are very frequent in Malaysia and mainly in the region which the bed rocks are clays, sandy limestone, and marls. Due to the susceptibility of the population, the economy and the infrastructure, it is necessary to identify locations and develop landslides maps. This study tries to express identified factors effecting landslides based on the previous works. In addition, it tries to interpret and discuss on behavior of landslide occurrence of the Cameron Highland. However, this study presents an emphasis on potential areas for landslides mapping with considering lineaments as one of the effecting for probability occurrence of landslides. Also, the usefulness of GIS technologies has made us enable to develop various maps of effecting factors. This study has identified the localization of landslides for susceptibility mapping.
