Abstract

In recent years, scholars worldwide have achieved significant scientific advancements in landslide research, particularly in urban planning. However, few have systematically summarized these studies. To facilitate readers to understand the current status of research, this article aims to provide a comprehensive review of global landslide research related to urban planning. By employing systematic review and scientometric analysis, this study highlights the impact of landslide research areas, trends, and methodologies on urban planning. The geographical distribution of research subjects reveals the focus on landslides in different countries. From the perspectives of landslide trigger factors, hazard assessment, and risk management, the paper reveals the main content and significance of current research in this field. Additionally, it discusses the strengths and limitations of common landslide research methods, to improve the efficiency of urban planning through the accuracy of the results. This review explores how landslide research can be applied to pursue more scientific and comfortable urban planning. The insights provided can help inform strategies for future landslide prevention and mitigation efforts in urban environments.
