All over the world soil is widely used natural material for construction. But when this material is available in the form of natural slope can cause landslide due to instability of slope because of various factors. The objective of this study is to understand behaviour of different factors of landslide at Jammu region and then suggest possible remedial measures. For this, reports by Geological Survey of India, past thirty years data of annual precipitation of every district from Indian meteorological department are collected and studied. The data of seismic activities is also collected. Also the work of different authors in this area is analysed deeply. It can be stated that the climatic conditions change such as earthquakes, rainfall pattern variation and various anthropogenic activities has increased the landslide vulnerability of the area. The suggested remedial measures are as, landslide susceptibility zonation mapping, future landcover/land use pattern, use of advance technology solutions like construction of gabion walls, soil nailing and analyzation of slope stability by numerical modelling.
