GIS Data from PhilGIS was acquired through their website: https://www.philgis.org and maps from NAMRIA's website http://www.namria.gov.ph/download.php were gathered, along with base maps from OpenStreetMap and Google Earth Pro.
As initial work and proof of concept, the readily available data from NAMRIA and PhilGIS were acquired and processed in QGIS. Points of interests where mapped in Google Earth and exported. Maps were georeferenced and plotted on the OpenStreetMap base map.
Using vectors, the data can be extracted into tabular data that can be then processed using SVM.svr library of Scikit-learn.
High resolution maps were requested from the main office of NAMRIA which contains more accurate data. More detailed and updated landslide susceptibility data were also requested from Mines and Geosciences Bureau(MGB). In the course of requesting data from DENR through an Freedom of Information request, the office clarified that data needed in the study should go through the regular services of the government offices concerned. According to an informal conversion with the MGB factors that were considered were soil properties and rainfall, but a meeting was scheduled for a more comprehensive consultation and confirmation of their methodology.
