A physically based model for assessment of shallow landslides triggered by heavy rainfall was analysed, applied, and validated to a case in the Khao Phnom, Krab i, Thailand. Th is model is based on the coupling of the hydrological model with an infin ite slope stability model. Modified Green-A mpt model and steady groundwater flo w model were used in the hydrological model. The d istributions of rain fall intensity were obtained fro m eighteen rain gauges around the landslides. The model pred

... tion capability was evaluated by using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Considering to the analysis results, it was found that the model can predict the unstable areas (FS<1) where occur the hillslopes surrounding the peak of the mountain. The accuracy of the model was 0.737 for the Khao Phnom landslide.
