This slope failure was highly devastating, and most of the local residents were severely affected, including 52 dead or missing. Based on the information provided by field investigations, drilling boreholes, and Google Earth, we describe the landform and stratigraphy characteristics of the Shuicheng landslide in this study. Additionally, the dataset of 1158 ancient landslides near the Shuicheng landslide is obtained by Google Earth and ArcGIS, including their morphological scales and spatial distribution characteristics, to analyze the landslide development preference in this region. Furthermore, the causes of the Shuicheng landslide are discussed by analyzing the effects of active tectonic activities on the broken basalt and the steep terrain, as well as the trigger action of continuous heavy rainfall. Finally, a previous empirical prediction formula of sliding distance is verified by the Shuicheng landslide parameters and is applied into the width range calculation of the ancient landslide risk zones, which is a kind of risk source for future landslides. The result indicates the area up to \u22483500 m away from the landslide risk source should be concerned during engineering construction in the study area. This study provides significant scientific guidance for the risk management of potential landslide hazards in this area.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi11020119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,8]],"date-time":"2022-02-08T23:37:48Z","timestamp":1644363468000},"page":"119","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Development Characteristics and Causes of a Fatal Landslide Occurred in Shuicheng, Guizhou Province, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Yu","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Natural Hazards, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Beijing 100085, China"},{"name":"School of Engineering and Technology, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2863-4457","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiangli","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Natural Hazards, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Beijing 100085, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Compound and Chained Natural Hazards Dynamics, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Beijing 100085, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Landslide Risk Early-Warning and Control, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3956-4925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Natural Hazards, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Beijing 100085, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Compound and Chained Natural Hazards Dynamics, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Beijing 100085, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Landslide Risk Early-Warning and Control, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Chengdu 610059, China"}]},{"given":"Yuandong","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institute of Natural Hazards, Ministry of Emergency Management of China, Beijing 100085, China"}]},{"given":"Pengfei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration, Beijing 100029, China"}]},{"given":"Zhihua","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering and Technology, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Zhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"107 Geological Team, Chongqing Bureau of Geology and Minerals Exploration, Chongqing 401120, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rong, G.Z., Li, K.W., Han, L.N., Alu, S., Zhang, J.Q., and Zhang, Y.C.
