Methodology peer-reviewed, cleared (date)? Numerous applications in Japan and globally with JICA projects (e.g., Bolivia, Bhutan, Kyrgyz Republic, North Macedonia, etc.)
A tool based on Japanese “chisan” / “sabo” techniques, which use an integrated nature-based solution (NBS)/hybrid solution to assess geohazards and plan mitigations measures for sediment-related disasters (landslides, mudflows, GLOFs, etc.) due to climate change and development pressure in hilly or mountainous areas.
