Abstract

This study promotes regional disaster prevention using Long-Term Measurement (LTM) of small rivers. Continuous monitoring of water level and vibration revealed correlations, and experiments confirmed detection of “goro-goro” rumbling from moving boulders. By quantifying local traditional knowledge, this approach enhances community awareness and provides a practical, low-cost early warning framework for sediment-related disasters in mountainous regions.
