Landslides and Land erosions are one of the important hazards in the hilly region. They cause more losses to the lives and property of that area. The increase in population and settlement has increased the effects of Natural Disasters. Landslides can't be fully prevented but their effects and damages can be minimized, if it is predicated before their occurrences. By identifying the landslides, remote sensing and GIS, help managing the vulnerable disaster. Remotely sensed data and GIS can be

This paper depicts the landslide based on the analysis on a case study which aimed to identify landslide potential zones in Coonoor Taluk of Nilgiris in Tamilnadu. The various causal factors responsible for landslide occurrence are slope, aspect, lithology, structure, lineaments, land use and land cover, drainage density, geology, geomorphology, soil and anthropogenic activity.
