Abstract
In 1995, the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake caused building collapses and extensive damage to densely built-up area with old wooden housings and narrow streets in Kobe City. Thus, nowadays, it is necessary to improve the, 25,000 hectares, widespread built-up areas over our country for disaster mitigation. However, there is a tendency that the building stagnation occurs in the built-up areas, and the appropriate building control is essential. In this paper, we aim to analyze the building trends and examine the variations of the capability for disaster prevention by the actual condition of rebuilding in a densely built-up area in Kyoto City. Then, we propose a policy to the deregulation of building control, considering the building trends for disaster mitigation.
