This study aims to develop an evaluation method of the impacts of climate change on Social Hazard, which represents the general vulnerability of urban systems. Various kinds of vulnerabilities are not only caused by the impacts of climate change, but also by various urban problems in an urban system, for example, the increase of automobile traffic, urban sprawling, and location in the disaster hazardous area. Social Hazard of a housing lot, the social life cycle cost per one Quality Of Life (QOL) unit, is defined as a comprehensive indicator for vulnerability caused by these urban problems. This study proposes the representation of Quality of Life, by using the Quality Adjusted Life Year, originally developed in the medical field. This evaluation method of the vulnerability of an urban system by Social Hazard Index is applied for the examination of adaptation and retreat measures against climate change.
