Abstract

Heavy rainfall often triggers shallow landslides (slope failures) in Japan. In addition, the Geographical Survey Institute (GSI) now provides digital elevation data and digital geological maps from the Geological Survey of Japan are also available. Hence using GIS, we analysed the distribution of heavy-rainfall induced shallow landslides at six locations (Fig. 1) in relation to slope gradient.
Results showed that shallow landslides are concentrated on slopes with gradients between 25° and 30°, regardless of the difference in bedrock geology at the six locations. The former suggests that the occurrence of shallow landslides depend on slope gradient rather than bedrock geology.
