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.
