This paper reviews and classifies the main approaches to assessing landslide hazard and risk, highlighting the increasing interest in this field. The methods are divided into qualitative and quantitative categories. Qualitative methods rely on expert site-specific experience, while quantitative methods are more rigorous and include statistical analyses and deterministic models. The article also discusses the application of neural networks in engineering geology and provides considerations for acceptable risk and risk management. The significance and impact of landslides are emphasized, with examples from various regions, such as Australia and Italy, where landslides have caused significant socio-economic impacts and fatalities. The paper underscores the growing importance of landslide risk assessment due to increased development and urbanization.This paper reviews and classifies the main approaches to assessing landslide hazard and risk, highlighting the increasing interest in this field.
