A prediction model for identifying areas likely affected by future landslides are constructed based on the quantitative statistical relationships between the input spatial map data (termed “causal factor”) and the past landslides. The prediction model to be effective tool, the time-robustness of the model is an essential component. We test the timerobustness using the stability analysis of the model. In this contribution, a Fuzzy set theory procedure using algebraic sum operator is used for the construction of the prediction model. Rio Chincina in Colombia is selected as the study area. The analytical procedures for the stability analysis are as follows: Step 1. The occurrences of the past landslide were divided into two different time-periods. Group 1 consisted of the landslides occurred prior to or within a given year and Group 2 contained the remaining landslides, which occurred after the year. Step 2. Using the landslides in Groups 1 and 2 separately, two prediction maps, Map-1 and Map-2, respectively, were obtained. Step 3. To validate the prediction performance of the prediction map (Map-1) based on the landslides in Group 1, we compared the prediction results in Map-1 and the landslides in Group 2. The comparison produced statistics, termed "prediction rates" indicating the prediction power of Map-1. Similarly, we obtained the prediction rates for Map-2 using the landslides in Group 1. Step 4. To assess the stability of Map-1 and Map-2, the "difference map (DIF-map)" was made and the corresponding "match rate" was also computed. Higher match rate means increasing similarity of Map-1 and Map-2 and hence increasing stability of the two maps. Based on the results of this study, we concluded: The prediction power of the model is represented by the prediction rates computed in Step 3. A model to be a good prediction tool, the model should have a good prediction power. The stability of two prediction maps based on two time-periods assessed in Step 4 is also an essential component of a good prediction tool. In particular, if we were to use the prediction map for the landslide prevention plans or land use-planning study, then the stability study would provide pivotal information on the planning decision. The prediction model for Rio Chincina study area using the Fuzzy set theory procedure did have reasonably good prediction power but was not stable enough to be a good model. The model needs a further investigation to improve the performance of the prediction model. A prediction model to be effective, we need both the prediction power and the stability of the model.
