In this study, vegetation succession and the rate of consequent topsoil development were investigated in shallow landslide scars of sedimentary rock slopes covered by volcanic ashes and pumice in Kagoshima prefecture, Japan. Seven shallow landslide scars of different ages were selected as study areas. In the initial period after the occurrence of a shallow landslide, deciduous broad-leaved trees such as Mallotus japonicus or Callicarpa mollis were occupied in the areas. Approximately 30 years after the landslide, evergreen broad-leaved trees such as Cinnamomum japonicum invaded in the areas, already existed present deciduous broad-leaved trees. After 50 years, the summit of the canopy comprised evergreen broad-leaved trees such as Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii and Machilus thunbergii. Moreover, the diversity of vegetation invading the site reached the maximum after 15 years, followed by a decrease and stability in the number of trees. The total basal areas under vegetation increased with time. It was concluded that the vegetation community reaches the climax stage approximately 50 years after the occurrence of a shallow landslide in the study areas, in terms of the Fisher-Williams index of diversity (${\alpha}$) and the prevalence of evergreen broad-leaved trees. Moreover, according to the results of topsoil measurement in the study areas, the topsoil was formed at the rate of 0.31 cm/year. The development of topsoil usually functions to improve the multi-faceted functions of a forest. However, when the increased depth of topsoil exceeds the stability threshold, the conditions for a shallow landslide occurrence are satisfied. Therefore, we indicated to control the depth of topsoil and strengthen its resistance by forest management in order to restrain the occurrence of shallow landslides.

산사태지(山沙汰地)에서의 자연적인 식생착생(植生着生) 및 식생회복과정(植生回復過程)을 구명(究明)하기 위하여 경기도(京畿道) 용인(龍仁) 화성군지역(華城郡地域)에서 산사태지(山沙汰地) 복구공사시행지(復舊工事施行地)(14개소)와 복구공사시행지(復舊工事施行地)(14개소)를 대상(對象)으로 1993년과 1994년에 식생조사(植生調査) 수행(遂行)하였다. 산사태지(山沙汰地)에서는 총 61종(種)의 식생(植生)이 출현하였으며, 초기식생침엽은 주로 참싸리새, 쑥, 고사리, 망초, 산딸기, 국수나무 등에 의해 이루어지고 있었다. 종다양도(種多樣度)와 균재도(均在度)는 복구공사비시행지(復舊工事非施行地)가 복구공사시행지(復舊工事施行地)에서보다 높았으며, 또한 주변식생과의 유사도지수(類似度指數)에 있어서도 복구공사비시행지(復舊工事非施行地)가 복구공사시행지(復舊工事施行地)에서보다 높게 나타났고, 천이도지수(遷移度指數)에 있어서는 두 처리지에서 비슷한 값을 보였으므로 복구공사시비행지(復舊工事非施行地)에서는 주변식생의 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 산사태지(山沙汰地)의 식생회복녹화(植生回復綠化)에는 초기착생력(初期着生力)이 크고 적응력(適應力)이 큰 참싸리, 새, 억새, 쑥, 고사리, 산딸기, 망초, 국수나무 등과 같은 자생종(自生種)의 활용(活用)이 도입초종(導入草種)의 이용보다 효과적일 것이다.

The objective of the study is 10 know the relation of landslide occurrence with using TPI (Topographic Position Index) in the Pyungchang County. Total 659 landslide scars were detected from aerial photographs. To analyze TPI, 100m SN (Small-Neighborhood) TPI map, 500m LN (Large-Neighborhood) TPI map, and slope map were generated from the DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data which are made from 1 : 5,000 digital topographic map. 10 classes clustered by regular condition after overlapping each TPI maps and slope map. Through this process, we could make landform classification map. Because it is only to classify landform, 7 classes were finally regrouped by the slope angle information of landslide occurrence detected from aerial photography analysis. The accuracy of reclassified map is about 46%.

Rainfall induced landslides is one of the most devastating natural disasters acting on mountainous areas. In Korea, landslide damage areas increase significantly from 1990s to 2000s due to the increase of both rainfall intensity and rainy days in addition with haphazard land development. This study was carried out based on the application of TRIGRS unsaturated (Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope stability analysis), a Fortran coded, physically based, and numerical model that can predict landslides for areas where are prone to shallow precipitation. Using TRIGRS combining with the geographic information system (GIS) framework, the landslide incident happened on 27th, July 2011 in Mt. Umyeon in Seoul was modeled. The predicted results which were raster maps showed values of the factors of safety on every pixel at different time steps show a strong agreement with to the observed actual landslide scars in both time and locations. Although some limitations of the program are still needed to be further improved, some soil data as well as landslide information are lack; TRIGRS is proved to be a powerful tool for shallow landslide susceptibility zonation especially in great areas where the input geotechnical and hydraulic data for simulation is not fully available.

Many researchers have evaluated the influence of vegetation cover on slope stability. However, due to the extensive variety of site conditions and vegetation types, different studies have often provided inconsistent results, especially when evaluating in different regions. Therefore, additional studies need to be conducted to identify the positive impacts of vegetation cover for slope stabilization. This study used the Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope-stability Model (TRIGRS) to predict the occurrence of landslides in a watershed in Jinbu-Myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Korea. The influence of vegetation cover was assessed by spatially and temporally comparing the predicted landslides corresponding to multiple trials of cohesion values (which include the role of root cohesion) and real observed landslide scars to back-calculate the contribution of vegetation cover to slope stabilization. The lower bound of cohesion was defined based on the fact that there are no unstable cells in the raster stability map at initial conditions, and the modified success rate was used to evaluate the model performance. In the next step, the most reliable value representing the contribution of vegetation cover in the study area was applied for landslide assessment. The analyzed results showed that the role of vegetation cover could be replaced by increasing the soil cohesion by 3.8 kPa. Without considering the influence of vegetation cover, a large area of the studied watershed is unconditionally unstable in the initial condition. However, when tree root cohesion is taken into account, the model produces more realistic results with about 76.7% of observed unstable cells and 78.6% of observed stable cells being well predicted.

충청북도(忠淸北道) 단양군(丹陽郡) 영춘면(永春面) 상리(上里) 휴석동(休石洞) 땅밀림형 산사태지(山沙汰地)에 대한 지형(地形) 및 지표이동특성(地表移動特性)을 조사 분석한 결과, 연구대상지에는 골락애(滑落崖), 인장균열(引張龜裂) 및 요지(凹地)와 계단상(階段狀) 지형(地形)이 여러 곳에 형성되어 있었다. 또한, 마을진입 횡단도로(橫斷道路)(구역 횡단도로)의 변형 및 건물(建物)(잠사(蠶舍)), 배수로(排水路) 등의 파괴와 수목(樹木)의 도복(到伏) 경도 (傾到) 등과 같은 땅밀림 산사태(山沙汰) 발생(發生)의 징후(徵候)가 현저하였다. 휴석동(休石洞) 산사태(山沙汰)의 이동토괴(移動土塊)는 주로 남동(南東)~남동동(南東東) 방향(方向)으로 이동하고 있으며, 이동토괴(移動土塊) 중심부의 지표이동량(地表移動量)은 월평균 약 17.6cm, 지표침하량(地表沈下量)은 연간 약 88.5cm인 것으로 분석되었다. 연구대상지 최하단부(最下端部)의 포락(浦落)벼랑은 7개월간(1995년 6월~12월) 깊이 0.823m의 토사가 침식된 것으로 측정되었으며, 전체 포락(浦落)벼랑에서 $4,938m^3$의 토사(土砂)가 남한강(南漢江)으로 유실(流失)된 것으로 나타났다. 휴석동(休石洞) 산사태(山沙汰)는 광범위한 면적에서 대규모로 발생되고, 특히 여름철 장마 홍수때에 이동량(移動量)이 급격히 증대하였으며, 이동토괴(移動土塊)의 이동속도 및 남한강변의 포락침식량을 고려하여 볼 때, 향후(向後) 산사태 재해의 발생이 우려되는 지역으로 분석되었다.
