Slope stability is determined by pre-conditioning and triggering factors. The evaluation of the stability by scientific criteria provides crucial input into land-use planning and development. This work aimed to evaluate the slope stability of “Las Cabras” hill (Duran, Ecuador) through geological and geotechnical analysis and a susceptibility assessment that allowed the definition of areas potentially susceptible to landslide and detachment for land planning recommendations. The methodology included (i) analysis of background information about the study area; (ii) fieldwork, sampling and laboratory tests; (iii) assessment of susceptibility to landslides and detachment through a theoretical–practical evaluation (using suggestions by various authors); (iv) a safety factor assessment employing the simplified Bishop method; and (v) analysis of the relationship between susceptibility and stability. Sixteen geomechanical stations were evaluated. Of these, seven stations are characterised as category III (medium susceptibility), six stations as category IV (high susceptibility) and three stations as category V (very high susceptibility). According to the susceptibility zoning map, 58.09% of the total area (36.36 Ha) is in the high to very high susceptibility category. The stability analysis based on 16 critical profiles shows that three of these profiles have safety factor values of less than one (0.86, 0.82 and 0.76, respectively), and two profiles have values close to one (1.02 and 1.00). The northern area is conditioned mainly by a vertical slope with an outcrop of fractured and weathered sandstones, thereby favouring rockfall. The landslide vulnerability in the case of the southern zone is principally conditioned by the fact that the slope and dip are parallel. The described characterisation and susceptibility analysis provide a basis for security measures and territorial planning.

The article summarizes the definition of the term “hikikomori”, analyzes the situation of quarantine restriction: its essence and features of the impact on adolescence. Peculiarities of manifestation of hikikomori markers at adolescence are determined. We consider the studied phenomenon in the system of approaches like a way to meet needs, as a set of manifestations of syndromes of a new era, as a psychological defence mechanism, as a psychological state and process. Depending on the intensity of markers, we divide hikikomori into counter-dependent, poorly adaptable and interdependent, super dependent. The parameters that determine the level of manifestations of hikikomori include antisocial solitude at home, antisocially with leaving the house, selective society. The levels of manifestation of hikikomori include physical, emotional, social. Quarantine restrictions, as unusual living conditions that require forced solitude, selfisolation can be a factor that encourages the emergence of markers of hikikomori in adolescents. Such people have a shift in activity in cyberspace and at night, inseparable stay with the gadget (during meals, in the bathroom, in the toilet, etc.). Neglect of the organization of life (do not clean the bed after sleep, do not clean the room for a long time, do not change clothes during the day and wear night pyjamas around the clock, neglect a healthy diet, eat outside the regime, mostly fast food, etc.). In communication with others, they show irritability with the desire to avoid contact and solitude in their room. Also, at such a person, disorganization of educational activity hastily is observed. It is difficult for them to organize the learning process; they show procrastination (postponement of tasks). If the classes are as videoconferencing, they do not include video and microphone. They are away from contact with the group and the teacher, even if they need contact for feedback, they ignore it. An empirical study of the susceptibility to hikikomori markers in adolescents revealed that about 40% of subjects have a high susceptibility to hikikomori markers, and almost 11% of young men – very high.

<p>In the framework of the OPERANDUM (OPEn-air laboRAtories for Nature baseD solUtions to Manage environmental risks) project, modelling the effect of the Nature Based Solutions (NBS) on selected open-air laboratories plays a determinant role. In this work, we focus the attention on the Vögelsberg (Tyrol, Austria) landslide case study, located in the municipality of Wattens. The 0.25 km<sup>2</sup> active part of the slope shows annual movement rates in the order of 3.5-6 cm/a. Recent studies provided evidence that the motion is mainly driven by variations of the groundwater level. The latter are related to prolonged moist periods during which excessive rainfall or snow melt water can infiltrate and act on the geo-hydrological system. With the aim of enhancing the slope stability employing NBS, a detailed analysis of the hydrogeology and the slope characteristics have been carried out, obtaining the required technical parameters describing the involved soil material. Furthermore, a slope stability analysis by means of different numerical models has been performed. Results prove that variations of the groundwater level in the range of 1-2 m can strongly affect the stability of the slope. Thus, specific NBS should aim at reducing the amount of infiltrating water. Examples of such NBS include the adaptation of forest management and land use planning, the introduction and re-activation of drainage channels and the sealing of leaky streams and channels. Beside the effects of the variation of the groundwater level, results have proved that the slope could fail under the action of a moderate seismic load. In this scenario, it is likely that the effects of the NBS would be insufficient to maintain the slope intact.</p>

Road infrastructure is very important and is a key enabler for the economy. If the road infrastructure was damaged or had various problems such as sliding, the movement of goods and passengers will be hampered and delayed to the acceleration of development in the local area. The landslide and movement of groundwater is a problem that often occurs repeatedly on some streets. Therefore, it is necessary to study the strengthening of the slopes at the bottom of the road construction with retaining wall. This study aims to analyze slope stability by getting numbers Safety Factor (FK). The analysis is used to analyze the stability of slopesusing the finite element method with the help of software Plaids, The scope of this review includes the calculation of slope stability at the national road from Banda Aceh - Medan Sta. 83 + 185 Mount Selawah.

Many studies have begun to develop the concept of cracked soil. The results of research related to cracked soil are able to answer the irregularities that occur, such as the difference in the results of the stability analysis which is considered safe with the conventional bishop method, while the conditions in the field are landslides. Swelling soil is soil that is susceptible to changes in water content. This type of soil is very prone to cracking. To build infrastructure on the swelling soil type, an improvement must be made, one of which is by mixing the swelling soil with biopolymer. The results of this biopolymer mixing are then modeled in the New Slope Stability Analysis Program (NSSAP) 1.0 which refers to the concept of cracked soil. From the analysis, it was found that the slope safety factor before improvement with biopolymer was 0.305 and the safety factor after improvement with biopolymer was 2.006. From the results of this study, it can be seen that the role of biopolymers in stabilizing swelling soil is quite large, which is around 558%.

The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes the need to take into account hazardous natural processes and their parameters in territorial planning, as well as presentation of them in the relevant documentation in the form of maps. In a number of countries, there is a long-standing practice of mapping the avalanche zones basing on the definition of different levels of danger, which are used to limit or ban the construction in avalanche zones, as well as to project the anti-avalanche activities. Russia has experience in assessing risk and mapping the avalanche danger, but the practice of making such plans in our country is still not developed. The purpose of this work is to determine and plot on map avalanche zones on the example of one of the actively developed mountain regions of Russia. The all-season mountain resort «Gorky Gorod», located on Krasnaya Polyana in the Krasnodar region, was chosen as the object of study. Two approaches to the accounting and mapping of avalanche hazard in territorial planning were tested. In the first case, occurrence and pressure of avalanches were the determining factors. In the second case, critical avalanche pressure values were used to determine their destructive impact effect. To determine indexes (indicators) of the avalanche hazard, the simulation of snow avalanches in the RAMMS program was performed. According to the results of modeling for area of the «Gorky Gorod» resort schemes of the avalanche zones were constructed on the basis of two different approaches, having no account for the anti-avalanche measures used there. A more detailed plan based on a combination of these two approaches had also been drawn up and analyzed. The required criteria for determining the boundaries of zones with different levels of the danger are the subject for discussion. However, the proposed division of avalanchedangerous territory into zones with different levels of the hazard at the stage of territorial planning meets the requirements of the legislation and contributes to improving human security, reducing the avalanche risk, and mitigating the consequences of emergencies caused by avalanches.

Pagelaran is one of area in Southern Part of Cianjur. This area has high susceptibility of landslide. One of landslide in Pagelaran, which happened on December 2014, has destroyed 13 houses and damaged vital road along 200 m. A year later, it started to conduct observation regarding the slope. The research aimed to know the role of groundwater level fluctuation in Pagelaran Landslide. The geometry of slope and its slip surface were determined using Electrical Resistivity Tomography. The actual groundwater level was determined by measuring it from surrounding artesian wells. Parameters angle of friction, cohesion, and unit weight were obtained from laboratory tests toward undisturbed soil samples. These data were used for analyzing the actual slope stability condition. Then it was conducted the simulation of slope stability in accordance with fluctuations of groundwater level. The simulation was done by raising the groundwater level with range of 0.5 m. The results showed that the actual slope stability was in critical condition with the value of safety factor 1.044. It also showed that slope stability waned as rising of groundwater level. The value of safety factor was reduced by an average of 0.034 in each 0.5 m up of groundwater level until it became failure (FS<1) when the groundwater level was 0.95 m above the actual position. Therefore, it can be concluded that the position of groundwater level played a role toward the stability of slope in Pagelaran. The rising 0.5 m of groundwater level position will reduce the slope safety factor by 0.034. The slope will become failure if the position of groundwater level rises by 0.95 meter from the actual position. To prevent the rising of groundwater level in rainy season, which can trigger landslide, it can be attached pipes along the slope body to flow the groundwater through them.

Abstract It is well known that construction of dams or reservoirs have geomorphological impacts on the environment and could potentially accelerate the occurrence of landslides. One of the most common impact is the occurrence of new landslides and activation of the old one, which may turn into a natural disaster. Thus, controlling the stability of landslides become challenging issue specifically in the presence of f pore-water pressure. In general, the presence of water or pore-water pressure reduces the soil resistance and also leads to increase in stimulus loads, resulting in reduction of stability coefficients. In the present study, using GeoStudio SLOPE/W software, the effect of the proximity of the dam reservoir in terms of different operating conditions on the stability analysis of the landslide area of ​​Zarm-Rood Dam is investigated. In the first step, the evaluation of internal stability of landslides and the effect of the presence of water on stability coefficients were evaluated and then the sustainable design of landslides was proposed. It was found that when extra pore-water pressure ranges from 0.2 to 0.4, safety factor is decreased by about 10%. Accordingly, safety factor is decreased by about 17% when extra pore-water pressure range from 0.4 to 0.6. This research demonstrates successful implementation of GeoStudio SLOPE/W for slope stability analysis in dam construction projects.

The rise and fall of water level has great effect on the slope stability. Based on the saturated-unsaturated seepage theory, the article has an intensive study of the seepage flow field and the change law of the stability safety factor of the slope stability under the condition of fluctuation of water level. The slope stability safety factor is changing in the process of water level’s rise and fall. with the carrying out of the impoundment, slope stability safety factor decreased. The water level rises in the water lever’s rising process. Due to the penetration of water penetration, the reduce of the shear strength of rock and soil, as a result, the slope stability safety factor reduced. as the water level increased gradually, slope stability safety factor increased. After two or three days later, the slope stability safety factor tends to a stable value.
