Abstract
 88 temples with a long and distinguished history have been linked by the road in Shikoku Island, Japan. This network is called “Shikoku Henro” and it is well known for one of the pilgrimage route in Japan. In Shikoku region, it is concerned that it will suffer severe damage by Nankai Trough earthquake in near feature. Moreover, this region is attacked by typhoon almost every year and it has much rain throughout the year. Therefore, it may have high risk against natural disaster. Geographically dispersed temples and linked roads may become useful social infrastructures for evacuation. In this study, to clarify the risk against natural disaster in 88 temples and their linked road, questionnaire survey and space in-formation analysis were conducted.
