In this study, the distribution of ground safety factor on a peatland coast was estimated for the Bengkalis island, Indonesia. A simplified model of the cliff topography that occurs after coastal erosion on an almost horizontal peatland coast was used to create a simple equation for estimating the ground safety factor around the coast based on the arbitrary location from the coastline, the distance from the waterway and the peat layer thickness. Using the equation, this study estimated the distribution of the ground safety factor as of 2013, clarified that there was a significant difference in the mean value of the ground safety factor between the landslide-affected areas and non-landslide-affected areas after the time of the estimation.
