HUMAN-INDUCED LANDSLIDES IN CHINA:MECHANISM STUDY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS ON SLOPE MANAGEMENT

摘要

Human activity duo to rapid increasing of the economy in China has become so wide and intense since 1980s that it comes to the most active factor affecting the earth surface geomorphology process and provoke the most important impact to environment in recent two decades. Some typical human-induced landslides are introduced. Their generalfeatures,including distribution,types,time series of occurrence and mechanism are summarized. A classification system of landslides is suggested based on their geological backgrounds and formation mechanism. Finally,some aspects of slope management and human activity control are discussed to different types of landslides.
