Based on the philosophical thought, the internal cause and the external cause inducing factors of the geological disasters are studied in Xingwen county, Sichuan provience. This paper presents a model of risk assessment of geological disasters by using natural disaster risk index method, weighted comprehensive analysis and analytic hierarchy process. The risk of the geological disasters in Xingwen County's towns is assessed on basis of the risk assessment model.
