Abstract
Landslide risk reduction is a societal pressing need in for counties and also areas along coasts, lakes, rivers in relatively flat countries. Engineering measures to stabilize dangerous slopes needs very high cost and not feasible for many cases. Monitoring, Prediction, Early Warning is the most economical landslide risk reduction measure which is applicable for both developed and developing countries. This chapter presents monitoring of triggering factors, slope deformation, other indicators in indoor experiments, field experiments as well as in natural condition. Methodology of prediction and early warning is examined based on these monitoring and topographical, geological and hydrological conditions.
