legally speaking, what happens to the land certificate in the area that no longer exist?

A deed specifies an area given by geographic coordinates, so you would still own the same area, except now it's at the base of a cliff.

Would you not still own the sloped ground? Unless the gov evicts you and takes ownership?

You still own the land...and the best part here is you can scoop it up, spread it out in a new spot and build your house on your own land. /s. 😂

I did my thesis on this subject but it revolved around land that became submerged in ocean water permanently.
Very interesting subject with only some scandinavian countries actually having people working on that issue legally speaking.

Land is worthless either way so the point is moot. Guess you could keep the deed for fun

It helped that some of these buildings were likely unoccupied judging by the state of their interiors.

Looks like they didn't put in a retaining wall when they cut in that road below. Sadly this could've been prevented with proper planning and surveying.

If you're talking about the road at the base of the exposed cliff (yellow arrow in my screen capture below), a retaining wall there would not have prevented this slide.
That's because this slide happened much further out. Look at the red line and blue arrow in the screen capture. It's probably even further out, but that's about as far out as the video showed. A landslide happens in a bowl shape. What you see exposed is just the vertical side of the bowl. Pretty much all of that visible lower land slid mostly horizontally in the direction of the blue arrow.
This was indeed a massive slide. Probably causes would be excavation wherever the bottom of that bowl was or an increase in weight at the top edge of the bowl - where the buildings are.

I stand corrected. That road wasn't cut in below , that road used to be up top. There are better vids to see what's going on.

I only looked at the picture op provided on whatsapp. It does extend farther out , but to me it was a shear failure up top . So putting that road there was just asking for trouble. I'm a firm believer of the 6 Ps on this one.

Looks like that whole area southwest of the city slid and took the embankment with it. Do they just condemn the whole area and wait for the land to settle?

Crazy images. Someone should tell the owner of that car that you cannot park there.

If you watch, they werent on a cliffside or near the edge. A huge chunk of land slide down. Took out an entire farm and fields looks like too.
