Hillside landslides occurred in April, 1997, on the Oritatemata river, Yunotani village, Niigata prefecture. In this study, meteorological characteristics in time of occurrence of hillside landslides were examined in order to obtain informations on occurrence mechanism, prediction method and protection countermeasure, of hillside landslides caused by snowmelt. Following matters were found through this investigation. (1) There was especially higher heat of snowmelt in 1997, in comparison with an ordinary year. (2) There was precipitation more than 100 mm for the same time. Furthermore, volume of snowmelt was calculated by means of these meteorological informations. Volume of snowmelt in 1997 was twice as much as an ordinary year. The hillside landslides model applied to this collapse. In this simulation, occurrence time of collapse was explained. Hillside landslides occurred on the same day as the total of snowmelt and precipitation showed the largest volume. And hearing research about characteristics of collapse site was executed in this field. Taking results for these research into consideration, occurrence mechanism of hillside landslides caused by snowmelt was studied.
