Meizhou City is a typical mountainous region,which is the multiple,frequent and prone area ofgeological disasters in Guangdong Province.The characteristics and influencing factors are analyzed based onthe investigation of geological disasters.Results show that the fragile geological environment is the base ofthe geological hazards,while heavy rainfall is the main induction factor of geological disasters and human engineering activities are the main factors which aggravate the geological hazards.In view of the disaster distribution and the economic development of Meizhou City,geological hazard control is comprehensively planned,and susceptibility zoning is completed.Meizhou City is divided into the key prevention region,secondary prevention region and general prevention region.Based on prediction,prospection and dynamic,the preventionplanning is divided into short-term,medium-term and long-term planning.Finally,the main measures andrecommendations are put forward for the prevention and control of geological disasters,such as gradually establishing ageological disaster monitoring and forecasting system,improving the ability of disaster prevention and reduction,implementing geological disaster prevention responsibility system,and establishing engineering and biological measures combining the management mode.
