AbstractAn analysis method for landslide topographic
characteristic, considering the factors such as landslide
size, average slope, location and geologic condition, was used to draw landslide scale and slope statistical chart. The landslides caused by the typhoons in 2008 and 2009 in Kaoping River Watershed were investigated and then analyzed. The landslide ratios were 1.36% and 7.92% in slate area in 2008 and 2009, respectively. The highest degree of increase in landslide ratio showed the landslide probability in slate area rose obviously because of the heavy rainfall during Typhoon Morakot. The analysis results of landslide topographic characteristic showed landslide average slopes were lowest,39.8° and 34.8° in 2008 and 2009, and the probability of the whole slope landslides was highest in hard sandstone and shale area. Additionally, the landslide average slopes were highest, 46.8° and 41.2° in 2008 and 2009 in Tananao
schis area, and there was no whole slope landslide in 2008 and 2009 in quartzose sandstone area and Tananao schis area.
