A Study on the Uniformity and Consistencyof the Municipal Earthquake Hazard Maps

−Through the Creation of the Map Connecting Municipal Earthquake Hazard Map in Kyoto Prefecture−

Abstract

This study clarified the uniformity among the 34 types of municipal earthquake hazard maps published in Kyoto Prefecture by referring to the method of preparation and contents of the municipal earthquake hazard maps. In addition, through the "Municipal Earthquake HM Linkage Map," this study clarified the consistency among the municipal earthquake hazard maps. As a result, it was revealed that the descriptions and expressions in the earthquake municipal hazard maps were not standardized among municipalities. It was also revealed that the seismic intensity was not consistent when viewed by neighboring municipalities when viewed in adjacent municipalities.
