Landslide “Granice” in Zagreb (Croatia)

Landslide "Granice" in Zagreb is an example of a shallow translational landslide formed on a gentle slope (6-7o). It is extremely elongated in shape, i.e. 300 m in length and 50 m in average width. Although most of this landslide is on an undeveloped land, its lower part passes a developed area with some ten housing units. First movements registered in this locality date back to 1963/64. Investigations for landslide improvement were undertaken in 1995. Landslide improvement activities were completed in 1998. During ten years after the improvement works no displacements were observed and the life for the people on the landslide area has normalized.
