[Objective] The occurrence condition of geological hazards was analyzed in order to provide a scientific reference for the prevention and control of regional geological hazards in Rongxian County

Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.[Methods] The occurrence and temporal-spatial distribution features were analyzed by adopting a statistical method based on the detailed data of field surveys over the past ten years.[Results] There were 4 types of geological hazard:landslide

collapse

unstable slope and debris flow. Their occurrence scales were small

and occurrence rates accounted for 40.57%

26.87%

32.30% and 0.26% of the total hazards respectively. The movement ways were tractive in the landslide

tractive and sliding in the collapse. The unstable slope manifested three types:partial collapse slope

partial erosive slope

and high steep slope. Geological hazards were significantly influenced by local heavy rainfall and typhoon rainfall

and concentrated in the period of June and August

having time lag effect and always happened suddenly in summer rainy season. The geological hazards distributed in the whole region but happened more frequently in some townships. Most of the hazards occurred in low hilly region and granite region

and presented a local linear distribution along the geological structural belt. However

the geological structure had no remarkable impact on these geological hazards.[Conclusion] The occurrence and distribution features are influenced by three aspects

including types of rock soil mass

rainfall and human engineering activity.
