Abstract
Landslides are a complex geological hazard triggered by a combination of factors depending on their magnitude and type (Figure 1). There are a number of methodologies employed for landslide susceptibility mapping around the world. The method adopted should vary according to the individual characteristics of the landslide being considered. The method of landslide susceptibility mapping adopted here was developed using an existing method, the InfoVal method (van Westen 1997), adapting it for use with the open source software QGIS. QGIS was chosen as the GIS system due to its use by other natural hazard scientists in Papua New Guinea and in the region, and because it is free and open source.
