 note = {Natural and human induced mass movements are one of the most potential geo hazards that pose the severe environmental problems in the world, specially, in mountainous areas. Numerous methods and techniques have been proposed for such geo hazard susceptibility mapping using Geographical Information system (GIS). Present study is an innovative attempt in this aspect. This paper deals with the methodology of shear strength allocation, digitization of 20 m contour interval geomorphological map, preparation of digital elevation model and cell based raster calculation for the slope stability analysis in detail. Soil sampis were collected from various geological regions along the 16 km sector of Prithvi Highway, Nepal, which is suffered from various mass movements, in order to measure the residual shear strength, consistency limit, particle size distribution, mineralogical composition. The soil test result was used for slope stability analysis. Automated calculation method was developed and used in each and every segment of the study area.},
