Abstract
Building-Standard-Law determined the minimum standard for safety of buildings and obliged to undergo inspection at their completion of construction. However the ratio of inspection has been under 50% for many years. As many buildings under minimum safety standard collapsed by the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake in 1995, the importance of the Inspection for Completion has been recognized again. The ratio of inspection has been improved to around 90%. Especially in Saitama, Nara and Hokkaido prefecture the ratio is high. This study explicates the system of those three prefectures; they have many 100%Special-Administrative-Agencies and “All Saitama United Action” is effective.
