      abstract = {This doctoral thesis presents a novel approach to  landslide risk assessment that explores the various  dimensions of landslide risk in an integrated perspective.  The research approach introduced here is tailored for use  with landslide databases and Geographic Information Systems  (GIS). A landslide susceptibility model is at the heart of  this new approach, enabling to identify and delineate areas  at risk of landslides and to assess infrastructure  exposure. Landslide risk is a pressing societal issue that  is still poorly understood. Temporal landslide hazard is  derived from landslide frequency statistics and a  hydrological simulation approach to estimate triggering  thresholds. These methods are integrated into a powerful  toolset for cost modeling that uses historical data to  compile, model, and extrapolate damage costs on different  spatial scales over time. The combination of this toolset  with techniques to analyze fiscal cost impacts supports  integrated risk assessment by quantifying the economic  relevance of landslide losses.},
