Evaluating the quality of landslide inventory maps: comparison between archive and surveyed inventories for the Daunia region (Apulia, Southern Italy)

A landslide inventory map, which shows the location of landslide phenomena and contains information about movement type, activity, etc., is a basic element for landslide susceptibility and risk assessment. For this reason, the evaluation of the quality, in terms of accuracy and completeness, of landslide inventory maps is an important issue. In this paper, two landslide inventory maps are compared, in order to determine the corresponding quality, through a direct comparison, aimed to evaluate the degree of cartographic matching between the maps, and the determination of the statistical properties of landslide areas and the comparison between the frequency-area statistics of landslides contained in the two inventories. The two landslide inventory maps at 1:25,000 scale, used for these analyses, have been produced for Daunia region (Apulia, Southern Italy), by the Apulia River Basin Authority; the first, “archive inventory”, by unifying the existing archive inventories; the second, “surveyed inventory”, through aerial-photo interpretation and field investigations.
