HUMAN ERROR RELATED RISKS OF MALAYSIAN LANDSLIDES

This paper discusses landslide risks. Rainfall is not always the major contributing factor at every landslide. Most of the times the actual root causes are engineering (e.g. flaws in slope design, errors during construction etc.) or non engineering activities (e.g. deforestation, poor vegetation c...
