Due to the special geological conditions of Taiwan, with triggering factors such as rain and earthquake,
landslides occur frequently. In particular, large-scale landslides can result in serious casualties and economic losses. In 2009, the heavy rainfall during Typhoon Morakot led to substantial losses. After the disaster, many plans to survey large-scale potential landslides were released. This study introduces cases of landslide investigation.
Key Words: Large-scale landslide, Sediment-related disaster, Landslide activity, Groundwater investigation, Landslide
mitigation.
