An Assessment of Seismic Hazard Map within the Building Residential Environment Improvement Project Areas in Jinju, Korea

earthquake hazard maps, Building earthquake risks ABSTRACTS: Recently, with the occurrence of large-scale earthquake all over the world, huge losses of both life and property have emerged. The earthquake of magnitude 9.0 in Fukushima area, Japan, occurred in 2011. It brought about huge losses of nuclear power accidents along with a tremendous loss of lives in the wake of the tsunami. In addition, it is estimated that 8400 people were dead in Nepal in 2015 due to the earthquake of 7.9 magnitude. It was analyzed that Korea is a comparatively safe region against the earthquake, but it cannot be ignored that Korean people in the past have suffered a lot due to the dozens of earthquake over the 7.0 magnitude. The rate of earthquake resistant design towards the buildings was low. Therefore, huge damage in the occurrence of the earthquake is predicted. In particular, the establishment of special measures is required for the regions where dilapidated dwelling with the brick structure is densed in need of residential environment improvement project. Therefore, this study calculated the risk of earthquake disaster by using factors, which are used in the seismic design criteria of ‘the regulations regarding the structure standard of the building by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport around A old and manufactured the Building Earthquake Hazard Maps by constructing a GIS database to prepare earthquake, with th
