The current work figures out an approach for estimating landslide susceptibility in Greece. This is the first study to undertake the updated official National Geodatabase of Landslides, which encompasses the entire country for the purpose of analyzing landslide susceptibility. This research acknowledges the critical role that scale plays in landslide susceptibility modelling. From this perspective, regional scale analyses conducted in selected areas along Greece, to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges encountered by the process in ensuring the results of national scale assessment after that. The methodology followed in the current work is the comparison and evaluation of the landslide susceptibility that derives from a statistical method (quantitative analysis) and an expert-based method (qualitative). Afterwords, this research focuses on the evaluation of the results in any scale and suggests a framework for working on landslides susceptibility assessment in Greece.
