In order to clarify factors of inhabitants' moving behavior to other area or continuous habitation in liquefaction disaster area, we conducted questionnaire survey on all householders who had lived in Hinode district just before the earthquake.

Then, we analysed correlation between implementation of moving from the district and some factors, and between intention of continuous habitation in the district and those factors.
