A seismic hazard map, indicating the regional distribution of expectancies of ground motion intensity, has to be constantly updated in tandem with advances of seismology and earthquake engineering. In this paper, the authors propose to make out a new seismic hazard map of Japan, drawing on the recent results of studies relating to the maximum magnitude model of active faults, the modified attenuation formula of ground motion amplification based on the Digital Nation Land Information. The authors in conclusion show the distribution of expectancies of ground motion velocity in a 500-year period for the entire Japanese archipelago.
