description West Java is the most risky province to landslide events in Indonesia due to extreme geo-morphological condition,climatic condition and densely populated with immense development activities. This study aims to explore distribution and characteristic of landslide in West Java.Geomorphological and archive inventories were prepared for the selected study area.The geomorphological inventory contains information about landslides that occurred before 1994, whereas the archive inventory includes recent landslides (1994 to 2010.Frequency-size statistics has been used to explore characteristics of landslide maps and to understand evolution of landscape in the study area due to slope movement. This study reveals that prepared landslide map includes a substantial fraction of all landslides at all scales (small-medium-large). However, archive inventory was incomplete in size aspect due to the limitation of landslide mapping technique. Geomorphological inventory showed rollover whose position is same with available literature. The rollover was interpreted as self-organized criticality of the area and limitation of inventory techniques. Keywords: distribution, characteristic, landslides, West Java
