Abstract
In this paper I studied the relations between damage of the great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and character of residents after the disaster. I analyzed every town districts data. I made and used Damage Index (DI) in this paper. DI is proportion of number of pulled down houses to number of all houses. I showed that about 10% of households lived in DI was more than 60% area after the disaster. Under 50% of DI, DI is becoming the larger, the proportion of number of private rented houses increases. And more than 50% of DI, public rented houses included temporary houses became the greater. Because the area where DI was over 50% many private rented houses were destroyed.
