In recent years many landslide events have been experienced in hilly districts of Bangladesh  such as Chittagong, Cox’s Bazaar, and Teknaf. It shows that a significant landslide hazard  exists for such urban centers and many communities are vulnerable to this newly known  type  of  hazard  in  Bangladesh,  which  may  result  in  severe  damages  and  severe  socioeconomic consequences in future in many other areas too. The urban centers which are  threatened by the landslide events in the recent past are fast growing and with considerable  influence in the economic developments of the country. It is therefore essential to have a  realistic understanding of the nature, severity and consequences of likely damages and  losses that possible future landslide events could cause on the vulnerable communities  living near the landslide hazard prone areas and to develop a model for landslide risk  management.
