Typhoon Jebi in 2018 and typhoon Faxai in 2019 have revealed that the housing stock in Japan is wind vulnerable. In the face of the emerging climate change impact, it is an important and urgent matter to upgrade wind-vulnerable housing stock. For this, the upgrading of damaged houses, which are proved to be wind vulnerable, is most efficient. However, this is usually not happening. This study investigates the situation of the rehabilitation of the damaged houses by field and questionnaire surveys, focusing areas affected by typhoon Faxai and its vicinity, illustrating what hinders upgraded repair.
