Description :
This paper aims at illustrating an innovative method for mapping gravitational deposits by considering, in particular, their spatial and temporal relationships and by grouping them into homogeneous units called landslide units. This investigation method has been applied to the area of Cortina d'Ampezzo (Italian Dolomites) where more than 30 landslides have been identified and grouped in 12 landslide units. The results are discussed.
