SOARES, Diego; AZEVEDO, Ricardo    NUNES, Malena. Spatial density modeling of potentially hazardous events: a proposal for landslides risk analysis in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. []. , 16, pp.345-369. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2019.16.015.

The city of Belo Horizonte is located on terrains with very irregular topography and heterogeneous lithology. This fact, together with deficit urban planning, favors the occurrence of landslides. To improve the management of this risk, the present work carried out, together with the Municipal Civil Defense Coordination of Belo Horizonte - COMDEC BH¹, a survey of the occurrence of landslides. The records allowed to generate a spatial density map of the Kernel type. This map was contrasted with Silva et al. (1995) who report on predisposition to geomorphological risks and conduct municipal housing policies. The study identified six regions of high density, having all of them, also high predisposition.

: spatial analysis; geological risk; landslides; Kernel density map.
