    This report is a result of actual survey of axis line for the entrance path of Zenko-ji Temple. Datum of survey are length and angle of line segments which form the entrance path. This survey clarifies as follows:
    1) Sanmon Gate is located at the middle point between Hondo building and the site of demolished old Kitano-mon Gate,
    2) Length between Hondo Building and the site of old Kitano-mon Gate is just same with those between the site of demolished old Nyorai-do Building and the site of demolished old Niten-mon Gate,
    3) Almost all angles between line segments which form the entrance path are almost same,
    and so on. From these results I consider hypotheses about how to decide the site of the present Hondo Building.

    In Ujitawara-cho, Kyoto, a production of tea farming family makes dried persimmons during the winter of the slack season on the farm. The dried persimmon is performed in a large-sized temporary construction called “KAKIYA”. The close materials such as a log, bamboo, straw are used for construction. And there is little waste every year because I use the same materials. Besides, I can make good use of thinning materials. In the persimmon shop, it was recognized that it was a construction method that could fit modern environment in this way.

    Some streets, lanes and paths extended around the refuse areas were surveyed right after big earthquake has hit. Several common situations are detailed and many defects due to construction error are disclosed. Through the survey, some findings for studying how to cope with the situation in existing masonry walls and gateposts were obtained. Collapse of reinforced masonry walls due to heavy quake could be a widely noticed problem all over the local community area.

    Voluntary disaster prevention organizations in neighborhood should prepare the emergency response ability in regions exposed to especially higher earthquake disaster risk. Against the expected Off Miyagi earthquake with Mw=8.0, an evaluation method for emergency response ability is applied to all of the 1,391 organizations in City of Sendai. Even if some regions exposed to especially higher risk, most of their preparedness levels of emergency response were uniformly low. Strategy for disaster prevention promotion considering the risk differences is needed.

    Rikuu Earthquake of 1896 is the biggest inland earthquake of Tohoku district which occurred in the mountains between Akita and Iwate prefectures. The damage was concentrated at the mountainside and soft ground sites in the both prefectures. However, the damage in Iwate is not reported in details. In this study, damage of the Rikuu Earthquake in Iwate is surveyed mainly referring newspaper articles at that time. Detailed damage by each village and settlement is listed and distributions of them are discussed.

    We conducted a questionnaire survey on damage of industrial facilities during the 2007 Niigataken Chuetsu-oki Earthquake to examine the relationship between seismic intensity and damage of facilities. We also investigated the cause of functional damage comparing a period of restoration of various damaged parts to those of functional cessation. The following conclusions are obtained. 1) In the JMA seismic intensity over 5.5, various damage were occurred in many parts of facilities. Some facilities have shut down for a week or more. 2) The factor related to functional cessation varied corresponding to requirements for performance of the facility.

    The development of an integrated earthquake early warning (EEW) and structural health monitoring (SHM) system is presented in this study. This approach provides more accurate, reliable and immediate earthquake information for society using our regional system together with the national (JMA/NIED) EEW system, especially against Miyagi-Ken Oki earthquakes, based on advanced real-time communication technology. The system has been implemented in two buildings, in Sendai and Oshika, and has capability for on-line SHM. Utilization of EEW combining SHM is described together with future perspectives.

    Objective of this study is to develop a supporting system for Quick Inspection and restoration of seismically damaged buildings. This system consists of several functions such as gathering earthquake information, analyzing seismic response of buildings, predicting damaged area, and transmitting damage information through Web-GIS. Update technique based on Neural Network was proposed to modify the results from theoretical prediction of seismic response analysis. Simulations using damage data from recent great earthquakes were conducted. Results showed that this system is effective to the future practical use.

    In part 2, the fixing conditions of large furniture in houses were analyzed using the results of questionnaire surveys. At first, it was confirmed that there was no bias for attitudes to disaster prevention in the respondents of internet surveys. Next, the average fixing ratios of large furniture ware calculated for each kind of furniture and household attribute. The analyses revealed that the effective fixing ratios are about 10% and the ratios vary according to the prefecture. In addition, the reasons for not fixing furniture at most houses were also extracted from the surveys.
