The paper given deals with the interconnection of erosion and landslide processes and gives projections of their expansion. That issue is very urgent nowadays because a lot of physic-geological processes have activated in the last years. The causes of these can be both intensive economic development of the territory and natural factors. These processes have made geotechnical conditions more difficult; many economic objects are under destruction damage. On the territory of the Krasnodar region in the middle course of Kuban River the recurrence of appearance and scales of emergency situation, connected with landslide processes, have grown. It was found out that the occurrences of destructions because of landslips and erosion processes predominate over other destruction causes on that territory and damage housing of settlements and economics in generally. Thereby on the example of the Kavkazskaja village we have analyzed the interconnection of surface and course processes; we have also found out the causes that influence their activation. On the territory of the village is a long-lived landslip situated that can cause emergency situations. During the researching we have carried out the monitoring of the studied area for the several years. In the issue of field researches we found out the periods of landslide processes` activation and the factors that influence their growth. We also detected the interconnection between climatic factors and activation of side erosion. As a result of it disastrous occurrences connected with landslip processes appear. On basis of these researches it was possible to give a projection of landslip processes` activation taking into account different versions of the situation`s development. Using the projection we can timely prevent a disaster that can occur bacause of landslip processes and take appropriate antilandslip measures. Thereby we can secure the safety of inhabitants of Kavkazskaja village.
