In this study, the seismic hazard was evaluated by focusing to the amplification characteristics of surface ground for the areas without ground and seismic data. In overseas, there are some areas having a high earthquake risk, but various data including ground survey results are not accumulated and ground risk is often not properly evaluated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the amplification factor of surface ground in one of them, Yangon city where urban development is progressing recently. As the result, we established a method to evaluate the amplification factor by combining several estimation methods. This study can be considered useful to raise the awareness of earthquake risk assessment.
