Abstract
Soil plays an important role in landslide studies. Various parameters of the soil help to evaluate the extent of soil degradation leading to soil erosion and subsequently slide down. Itanagar Capital Complex (ICC) of the State of Arunachal Pradesh experiences a number of landslides, hence, soils of this place have been studied. The soils of Itanagar Capital Complex, have been analysed in terms of the morphological, physical and chemical properties. It led to identify twelve soil series with relation to nine landforms. Each soil series has been given a ‘Landslide Index’ on the basis of soil properties, slope, erosion and proneness to landslides. The landslide index grades soil-site characteristic within a range of 0 to 100, where the minimum value (0) shows no risk and the maximum value (100) indicates highest degree of proneness to landslides. Soil series with respect to their land capability classification revealed that most of the twelve soil series fall under Class VII category, though a few individual soil sites fall under other land capability classes, viz. Class III, Class VI, and Class VIII.
