  "abstract": "<p>Landslide and its impacts are a common natural hazard that affects the day to day activity of human being. Especially in developing countries like Ethiopia the effect is high. The increasing number of population in highlands of Ethiopia and the weather change together makes the country vulnerable to the landslide to occur. Nowadays Heavy Rainfall is one of the results of weather change that is commonly occurring in Ethiopia. Not only this but also landslide as a result of this heavy rainfall is common incident in Ethiopia. The mountainous parts of Ethiopia are highly affected by such kinds of incident. In the study area, Kindo Didaye which is mountainous, landslide after heavy rainfall is repeatedly occurring. This incident is affecting the life of the people living in the area. It destroys their farm land, kills their cattle, and displaces the people. This research will analyze the landslide which is triggered by heavy rainfall in Kindo Didaye. For the study primary and secondary data were used. The primary data was collected from highly affected areas of the Woreda. The secondary data were taken from Wolaita Sodo University, hydraulics department staff who worked in the area. Using the primary data collected from the area different laboratory tests such as moisture content, sieve analysis, direct shear test, hydrometer analysis, Atterberg limit, and specific gravity tests were conducted. The moisture content of the soil showed that there was high amount of water in the soil. From the sieve analysis and specific gravity test the researcher found out that more that 50% of the soil is sandy soil. The hydrometer analysis showed there is silt content in the soil</p>",
