Accordingly, this work aimed to realize a landslide susceptibility map in the coastal district of Mostaganem (Western Algeria). For this purpose, we applied a knowledge-driven approach and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in a Geographical Information System (GIS) environment. We combined landslide-controlling parameters, such as lithology, slope, aspect, land use, curvature plan, rainfall, and distance to stream and to fault, using two GIS tools: the Raster calculator and the Weighted Overlay Method (WOM). Locations with elevated landslide susceptibility were close the urban nucleus and to a national road (RN11); in both sites, we registered the presence of strong water streams. The quality of the modeled maps has been verified using the ground truth landslide map and the Area Under Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC). The study results confirmed the excellent reliability of the produced maps. In this regard, validation based on the ROC indicates an accuracy of 0.686 for the map produced using a knowledge-driven approach. The map produced using the AHP combined with the WOM showed high accuracy (0.753).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su13020630","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,11]],"date-time":"2021-01-11T20:32:47Z","timestamp":1610397167000},"page":"630","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["GIS-Based Expert Knowledge for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping (LSM): Case of Mostaganem Coast District, West of Algeria"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5926-3070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachida","family":"Senouci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Protection and Development of Coastal Marine Resources and Molecular Systematics, Department of Marine Sciences and Aquaculture, Faculty of Natural and Life Sciences, Abdelhamid Ibn Badis, University of Mostaganem, BP 227, National Road N\u00b0 11, Kharrouba, Mostaganem 27000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Nasr-Eddine","family":"Taibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Protection and Development of Coastal Marine Resources and Molecular Systematics, Department of Marine Sciences and Aquaculture, Faculty of Natural and Life Sciences, Abdelhamid Ibn Badis, University of Mostaganem, BP 227, National Road N\u00b0 11, Kharrouba, Mostaganem 27000, Algeria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8043-6431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Cl\u00e1udia","family":"Teodoro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, Environment and Land Planning, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Earth Sciences Institute (ICT), Pole of the FCUP, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7537-6606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lia","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, Environment and Land Planning, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Earth Sciences Institute (ICT), Pole of the FCUP, University of Porto, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Hamidi","family":"Mansour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Geo Resources, Environments and Natural Risks, Department of Geology, Faculty of Earth Science and the Universe, University of Mohamed Ben Ahmed Oran 2, B.P1 1524 El-M\u2019Naouar, Oran 31000, Algeria"}]},{"given":"Rabia","family":"Yahia Meddah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Geographical Space and Territorial Planning, Department Geography and Land Planning, Faculty of Earth Science and the Universe, University of Mohamed Ben Ahmed Oran 2, B.P1 1524 El-M\u2019Naouar, Oran 31000, Algeria"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"981","article-title":"Landslide hazard mapping and its evaluation using GIS: An investigation of sampling schemes for a grid-cell based quantitative method","volume":"66","author":"Amod","year":"2000","journal-title":"Photogramm.
