In Laos, many mountainous roads in northern region have been suffering from severe slope failures. Main road slope protection technique is gabion work in Laos. However, gabions are expensive for Laos, because iron wires for gabions must be imported from foreign countries. Therefore, lower-cost road slope protection techniques have been demanded. Japanese road slope protection techniques by planting can be less expensive than gabion work, because they need only Lao domestic plants and material without depending on foreign products. Now, experimental works of road slope protection by planting are being implemented by Japan in Laos. The purpose of the experimental works is to study the applicability of Japanese techniques to Laos and develop low-cost slope protection techniques suitable for Laos.
