Landslide prone areas in the Dinarides and Pannonian Basin in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina

Two neighboring countries in the southeastern region of Europe, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH), belong to the same geotectonic units of the Dinarides and to the Pannonian Basin, which influence relief types, lithology, and types of slope movements, i.e., landslides. The paper describes the general geological and geomorphological conditions in Croatia and BIH that are preparatory causal factors for landslides. Landslide types, dimensions and activities in the described areas are related to natural conditions primarily influenced by tectonic evolution and by recent anthropogenic processes, e.g., urbanization. Recent rainfall triggering conditions of landslides in Croatia (2013) and BIH (2014) are also specified to emphasize the landslide risk and necessity of landslide risk management. The conclusions of the paper also note historical and potential damage due to landslide reactivations together with the spatial distribution of landslide-prone areas, which requires landslide mapping in the form of landslide inventory, susceptibility, hazard and risk maps.
