A number of building damage surveys were carried out for different purposes after the 1995 Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake. The damage surveys by local governments intended its use for property tax reduction while the survey by the AIJ & CPIJ group, academic societies, aimed to get technical records. This paper compares these building damage data in Ashiya City, using estimated peak ground velocity and fragility curves. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between the two evaluations. The result obtained could be used to convert the damage rank by local governments to that by the AIJ & CPIJ group.
