A deep-seated rapid (catastrophic) landslide is a phenomenon that may cause serious damage due to the large amount of sediment movement, such as the formation of a landslide dam and debris flows. In Japan, a method for estimating deep-seated rapid (catastrophic) landslide susceptibilities for many small catchments (ca. 1 km2) over relatively large areas (ca. hundreds of km2) was proposed in 2008. In the present study, we applied the Japanese method to the northern part of Jember, East Java, Indonesia, where a debris flow disaster occurred due to the collapse of a landslide dam formed by a deep-seated rapid (catastrophic) landslide in 2004. Although there were several limitations related to data availability, we successfully assessed susceptibility to deep-seated rapid landslides.
