    Landslides of ancient burial mounds, the Imashiro-zuka and the Nishimotome-zuka, induced by the historical earthquake corresponding to the tectonic movement of the active fault systems from northern Osaka to Kobe were discussed. Obvious interior structures of landslides revealed the deformation process of the landslides, and provided the significant information to discuss the landslide mechanism. The geological conditions of the basement of the mounds, the lithology, stiffness of the basement, and the position to the fault systems, should be significant to collapse of the mounds. Landslides of the embankments (fills) should be unavoidable over a long period of time when any weakness is shown in the basement of the mounds, in other words, the total quality of artificial soil structure much depends on the conditions of its basement. The ancient burial mounds in Kinki district were distributed from coastal region to hills overlapping the modern urban regions. The landslides of the ancient burial mounds indicate the important issues of our modern society.

    Geologic Model is used to make by engineers on his own carriers based on Geologic principles. On the other hand, 3D automatic geologic modeling softwares are dramatically developed in recent years. The softwares directly generate geologic boundary or rock classification in three dimensional fields from borehole logs that have been classificated by engineers. More over, some of them have GEO-STATISTIC features which indicate statistical probability or uncertainty. Authors present three case studies, 1. Risk analysis on geologic survey, 2. Hierarchy on risk and 3. Risk communication, by using these GEO-STATISTIC features.

    We developed a slope disaster database of national road which includes 1, 310 slope disasters information that occurred from 1990 to 2004. And we analyzed relationships among topographical geological properties, rainfall and slope disasters.

    This paper reports a result of roadside landslide disasters along national highways from the year 1996 to the year 2004, and we describe that a roadside landslide hazard map is useful to prevent highways from disasters.
    Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) encountered 477 landside disasters with road traffic closures on national highways in the past fifteen years after the campaign. We divided 477 disasters into groups by both of evaluation ranks and disaster types. It results that half of disasters occurred at non-predictive sites in the former road facility inspection campaign of MLIT.
    In order to solve these problems, we applied a roadside landslide hazard map to a road in a mountain. The hazard map shows weakness in heavy rainfall and countermeasure on roadside at a glance. The hazard map integrated results of road facility comprehensive inspection, daily patrol and disaster records into a map at a scale of 1: 5, 000. Weakness is a causative factor of landslides such as such as rock-fall, slope failure, rock-mass failure, debris flows, and so on. These were recognized as geographical features by air-photo interpretation. In the other hand, countermeasure shows roadside slope stability. These countermeasures are divided into three ranks on a guideline of road facility comprehensive inspection in 1996.
    It resulted that our hazard map newly picked up 8 slopes along the highway. The map was useful to evaluate risks to a highway effectively.
