Abstract
The island of Hokkaido, Japan, is subdivided into nineteen regions on the basis of regional geology and landslide distribution. Four major g eologic zones characterize these regions, as follows: (1) Volcanic Roc k Zone, (2) ''Green Tuff'' Zone, (3) Mudstone Zone, and (4) Serpentini te-''Green Rock'' Zone. Each zone is marked by landslides of a distinc tive type. In addition, we have analyzed the relationship between land slide distribution and geologic structure for several areas.
