The major control factors of the debris flow are rainfall, pile, slope, and watershed area; nevertheless the mutual relation of these factors has not been clearly defined, i. e., its involves a certain kind of fuzziness. The main purpose of this study is to investigate a methodology of applying the fuzzy control theorem for debris flow estimation and forecast. The debris flow warning system includes the factors of rainfall, slope, and watershed area simultaneously, The method is compared with a previous study (Shieh et al., 1992) based on excuted several debris flow events obtained from Hua-liem and Tai-tung counties in east Taiwan. It is our hope that these efforts eventually can help us to develop an efficient and accurate debris flow warning system so that the loss of personnel and property can be reduced to the minimum. The method developed in this study can also be applied for classification of the unsafe region in land development.
