Subject: Landslides are one of the main natural disasters in China, responsible for huge social and economic losses for mountain populations. This paper reviews the available information on effective measures for reducing economic and social losses caused by landslides. These measures include landslide mapping (identification, types of landslide maps, techniques of mapping); physical prevention and control measures (problem avoidance, surface-water drainage works, subsurface drainage, support structures, excavation, river structure works); landslide hazard anticipation (long, medium, and short-term prediction; prediction of the extent of landslides); and assessment and mitigation measures for landslide-dam failure disasters
