In the frame of the project called 'Landslides triggered by earthquakes in Kyrgyzstan, Tien Shan' different probabilistic seismic hazard maps of Kyrgyzstan were built. While PGA maps are important for civil engineering structures, Arias intensity maps are used as input for hazard calculations of seismogenic landslides. On a GIS platform, the Arias intensity map as well as geotechnical, geological and morphological information were compiled to estimate the hazard of seismically induced landslides for the Suusamyr region, Kyrgyzstan. We applied the method of Jibson et al. (1998) using the concept of the Newmark displacement.
