The concept of a measuring unit for monitoring the stability of areas at risk of landslides

key words: risk areas, landslides, long-term monitoring, integrated system

Summary:

The article presents the concept of a measurement unit for monitoring landslide risk areas. The unit is a part of an innovative integrated system created for long-term measurements. The apparatus allows to measure the changes in baseline lengths between the points mounted on the ground. Configuring the system and measurement equipment will allow automatic measurement and remote data transmission. This paper presents the components of the measuring system and the sample implementation of the system in the area adjacent to the landslide in the Milówka village (hamlet Prusów). The first results of measurements are also pre-sented. It is worth mentioning that both single item and the proposed system may support the decision-making procedures in order to determine the suitability of land for investment purposes.
