These topographic and meteorological features have caused disasters such as landslide and avalanche from mountains every year. Especially, urban expansion caused urban boundaries to get closer to steep slopes of mountains and residents are seriously exposed to disasters such as landslides so appropriate measures should be required. We, however, are facing the limitations in prevention and mitigation of landslide disasters due to the complexity of the causes of landslides like human factors as well as natural ones. To reduce the limitations, we generated of a hazard map by landslide for Gwangju City, Gyeonggi-do with an assumption of an extreme rainfall situation based on the infinite slope stability analysis model. To derive the landslide hazard map, we collected soil samples from the places where landslides actually occurred and constructed physical data by experiments and derived a landslide hazard map based on 5 rainfall scenarios. The accuracy of the result was evaluated by comparing the reference of the landslide hazard maps published by Korean Ministry of Forest.
