Abstract 

Geoinformation mapping of landslide activity was conducted within Zakarpattia Oblast using the QGIS geoinformation system. Spatial analysis enabled the identification of administrative districts and territorial communities with elevated landslide susceptibility, the quantitative assessment of landslide-affected areas, and the creation of thematic maps for the administrative-territorial units of Zakarpattia Oblast, including districts and territorial communities. The results can be applied in community territorial planning, land valuation activities, risk management, and the development of landslide mitigation measures.
