  • Abstract:
  • Landslides are one of the most destructive natural hazards that cause significant damage to life, property, and the environment. They occur when masses of rock, soil, or debris move down a slope due to gravitational forces. The primary causes of landslides include geological factors such as weak rock structures, soil erosion, and steep slopes, as well as external triggers like heavy rainfall, earthquakes, deforestation, and human activities such as construction and mining. Effective prevention and control of landslides require a combination of engineering measures, environmental management, and community awareness. Preventive strategies include proper land-use planning, afforestation, slope stabilization, construction of retaining walls, and efficient drainage systems. Early warning systems and monitoring techniques also play a crucial role in reducing risks. This paper highlights the causes of landslides and explores various methods for their prevention and control, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices to minimize hazards and ensure safety in vulnerable regions.
