By the continuous and heavy rainfall of 615 mm during 15 days, landslide disaster occurred on July 5, 1985 at a steep-sloped land in Munhyon-dong, Pusan. This landslide was sized about 50 m long at slided part and 50 m long at buried part down, 30 m in average width, and 2 m in average depth respectively. 37 human lives and the great amount of properties have been last as the result of this landslide from the steep-sloped land. Summarizing the results of this study, the national-wide plan for the steep sloped land failure control measures on the steep-sloped possible-danger places should be established in Korea.
