Simple Method for Identifying Unstable Slopes Based on Topographical and Geological Conditions

Previous studies have reported that topographical and geological conditions influence shallow landslides. However, identifying unstable slopes based on these conditions needs professional knowledge and detailed surveys. This report statistically examines topographical and geological data in order to extract topographical and geological conditions which are useful for identifying unstable slopes from those reported in previous studies. Based on the results, a simple procedure is proposed for identifying unstable slopes.
