Research Center for Earthquake Prediction, Disaster Prevention Research Institute Kyoto University, 611, Kyoto, Japan aut Multifractal and entropic properties of landslides in Japan [Elektronische Daten] [C. Goltz] Landslide distributions in two major areas of northern Japan, Tohoku and Hokkaido, are analysed for multifractal properties. For the latter data set, also the multifractal spectrum for the spatial landslide size distribution is determined and compared to the probability distribution. It is concluded that the fields possess definite multifractal character. This finding is supported by the known multifractality of the main triggering processes, rain and earthquakes. Further support comes from a configuration entropy analysis which is found to be a useful complimentary tool to multifractal analysis. Models leading to multifractality are briefly reviewed. Careful attention is paid to the algorithms used and to the verification of the numerical results. Some general suggestions concerning numerical methods are made.
