ABSTRACT 
Northern Bohemia brown coal mine area is an area of more than 1500 km”. This area has been affected by open mine 
activities which followed ground mine activities. The history of mining in this region is longer than a hundred years. 
The Czech Geological Archive (GEOFOND) owns data concerning more than ninety active or passive landslides. Their 
study and investigation was performed by traditional method of field study and photo interpretation. The final results 
were presented by means of maps and reports related to individual cases. This project took into account various types of 
data of a selected area, such as topographical, geological, hydrogeological, and pedological maps in 1 : 50 000, or 1 : 10 
000 scale, detailed landslide maps and stereo pairs of aerial photos. All data were included into a geographical 
information system. It was found that the most decisive phenomenum of a landslide occurrence is the existence of 
tailings and their slope shapes. The accurate digital elevation model showed to be necessary. It was created from 
digitized height contour maps and, photogrammetrically, from stereo pair photos. 
1. INTRODUCTION 
The landslide risk assessment has been in detail studied solution of this task have brought a large range of 
within last 30 years. Various attitudes to a possible solution methods. They can be divided into 
five big groups.

type of landslide risk assessment analysis main characteristics 
distribution analysis direct field mapping of existing landslide movement 
quality analysis direct or half direct methods applied to geomorphologic maps 
statistical analysis undirect methods where statistical methods make it possible to determine 
potential landslides from parameter maps 
  
  
deterministic analysis undirect methods where parameter maps are combined with slope stability 
evaluation 
frequent landslide analysis undirect methods applying hydrological models, earthquake and rainfall 
data for correlation with existing landslides for evaluating threshold values 
with a certain frequency
