The valuation of social influences after the landslide disaster

Abstract

The amounts of the damage of landslide disasters are calculated by the official manuals. But they focus on direct losses such as roads, railways, and infra-structures that were destroyed by a landslide.
This research report refers to some cases of landslide disasters in Japan to make clear the indirect damage categories, ranges, and periods that are caused by a landslides. Also the authors suggest the possibility that the amount of the total detour loss could estimate the amount of indirect losses including social influences.
