N2 - Landsliding of parts of the Earth's surface is one of the most common geodynamic processes. As a result of this process, landslides occur. Even in cases of lower intensity and smaller areas, landslides pose a serious problem in almost all parts of the world, causing economic and social losses and direct and indirect damage to private and public property. Immediate damage occurs at the moment of activation, causing damage to structures and human losses within the affected area. Indirect damage manifests over a longer period, reducing the value of damaged property, loss of productivity due to production or traffic interruptions, and the costs of damage remediation. Often, we only become aware of the existence of landslides when they are activated and wreak havoc. Furthermore, new landslides create problems for people living in the affected areas, while others become mere observers who, due to new events, forget what happened until the next landslide occurrence, often resulting in further damage and human casualties. Based on an understanding of the mechanism of landsliding, landslides are natural phenomena. However, while nature provides conditions for their formation, human activities are the key factor in their initiation. In a constant effort to control nature, natural laws, and processes, aiming to improve living conditions, standards, and technological progress, humans are increasingly unwilling to accept natural events as they once occurred. Therefore, they seek to gain control over natural phenomena, including landsliding. In an attempt to prevent the occurrence and development of landslides, humans use scientific advancements and acquired experiences applied through remediation measures. Unfortunately, human errors caused by ignorance, negligence, unplanned development, uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, etc., contribute to landslide occurrences. The extent of damage caused by landslides increases with economic development. The scale of damage caused by landslides can be objectively assessed based on data from developed countries, where objective studies of causes and consequences, landslide mitigation strategies, forecasts of process development, and damage planning during construction are conducted. Given that landslides are an important environmental factor, studying such terrains requires examining all aspects of the laws governing their occurrence and adapting methodological and operational procedures accordingly. In recent times, such research falls within the field of eco-geological studies and is conducted in the process of planning, designing, and constructing structures. It is essential to constantly consider that soil is a complex natural formation, almost always heterogeneous in terms of physical-mechanical properties, with processes that alter soil properties over time. Acknowledging these processes, their spatial distribution, and activity levels could significantly reduce potential damages from these exogenous processes.
