Abstract
Answers against comments from Prof. Okada are summarized as below. His critical reading of the paper, appropriate and constructive comments and strong encouragement to us are deeply appreciated. (1) As the accuracy of estimated seismic intensities are not still clear in our approach, our results should be expressed in a figure of significant number, such as JMA seismic intensity scale. (2) Also, careful treatments should be given in the use of our results for seismic microzoning. (3) Estimated seismic intensities from our method showed a large scatter comared with those from conventional method.
