 Group 1: Project coordination, Education and Public Awareness
 Leaders: Sassa, Tam, Ochiai , Miyagi, Tien, Quang and Vinh

Application of risk assessment technology and examination of practical and effective preparedness to mitigate landslide disasters.

Coordination and implementation of Education activities in Vietnam, the Greater Mekong Sub-region as well as in Japan

Coordination and implementation of meetings (symposia, workshops, public awareness, project group meetings, and publication in print and in web.

All key persons from Japan and Vietnam will jointly discuss the plan and the process of the project and coordinate the activities.

 
 
 Group 2: Landslide Mapping
 Leaders: Toyohiko Miyagi and Dinh van Tien (ITST)

Identification of landslide topography from air and satellite photographs over the targeted areas

Mapping of topographic types and landslides over the targeted areas.

Searching locations of slopes with characteristics of precursor stage of landslides

Rating risk of identified landslides by Analytical Hierarchy Process method. Field investigation and field observation to evaluate identified landslide slopes

Integrated landslide mapping over the targeted areas


 Group 3: Risk Assessment
 Leaders: Kyoji Sassa and Lam Huu Quang (ITST)

Development of landslide testing apparatus suitable for landslide risk assessment in Vietnam.

Geo-mechanical classification of landslide types posing serious effects in Vietnam

Elucidation of initiation mechanism and moving dynamics of selected sites by filed investigation, sampling and testing
