Abstract
The Japan Landslide Society has established a task force to carry out the special research project entitled “Development of a methodology for risk assessment of the earthquake-induced landslides”. Altogether 8 Working Groups, which are carrying out concrete investigations and analyses on individual items, were organized to cover all the objectives of the task force. In this report, a few of the essential research items treated in them are described in detail.
