Abstract
Knowing the duration, intensity and amount of precipitation that triggers landslides is of great importance for understanding landslide forecasting and landslide early warning systems. In recent years, studies carried out by the researchers exhibited that the rainfalls triggering landslides occur above a certain threshold value. In this study, the threshold value of Trabzon province where most landslides occur in Turkey was estimated, and a landslide early warning system was suggested depending on this threshold. In the study, 1105 landslides data occurred in Trabzon province between the years 1988-2010 were used. Based on the rainfall thresholds obtained from different criterions, a landslide early warning database was prepared, and this database has provided positive results in a 2-year trial period.
