#### *4.1. Landslide Susceptibility Assessment*

The landslide susceptibility result using the AHP model includes the weights of the conditioning factors, class weights, and a CR [98]. Applying the AHP, a decision hierarchy was built through a pairwise comparison of each conditioning factor. The AHP prioritized the effective criteria and variables by using pairwise comparisons to create a matrix. Ratings of the parameters were provided on a 9-point scale. The values of 1/9 represent the least important, 1 represents equal importance, and 9 represents the most important. The degree of consistency used in developing the rating was also determined. Moreover, a procedure through which an index of consistency, known as a CR, was produced. The CR indicates the probability that the matrix judgments were generated randomly [99]. Spatial Analyst Tools ArcGIS 10.7 software was used to reclassify each cell of the final map into five categories and values assigned ranging from 1 to 5, representing very low to very high in the LSM. The landslide susceptibility map was classified into five classes using the natural break classifier. Figure 5 shows the LSM produced by AHP, which reveals 20.65% of very low, 20.18% low, 20.37% moderate, 19.45% high, and 19.35% very high susceptible areas.
