Enhancement of Seismic Safety in the Course of Regional Development

1. 第1年（1996年4月- 1997年3月）：所有中日项目成员于10月15日、17日和18日在清华大学校园会面，除了项目的正式成员外，还有6名中国研究人员参加了会议。会议的目的是促进两国在灾害管理方法及其背景方面的相互了解。地震灾害的物理方面，如地震活动、地震预测、土壤剖面、建筑设计和脆弱性，是讨论的主要主题。会议还讨论了地震造成的经济损失和中国地震对策的总体框架。会后，项目成员进行了技术考察。对这些地区的规划者、建设者和管理者进行了采访，以便他们对地震的考虑可以得到澄清。第二年（1997年4月至1998年3月）：三名中国成员访问日本，调查支持救灾的信息系统的现状。他们参观了当地政府的几个灾害管理部门。他们还参观了一家建筑公司，交流了建筑结构的设计方法。第三年（1998年4月至1999年3月）：日本成员对中国进行了两次技术访问。在第一次访问中，从城市规划的角度对北京进行了技术考察和访谈。中国城市规划的历史和现状以及城市规划中对地震的考虑是重点。在第二次访问中，成员们访问了云南省丽江地区。研究了1996年丽江大地震对灾后重建中灾害管理和建筑环境变化的影响。

1. Year 1 (April 1996 - March 1997) : All the project members both on the Japanese and Chinese sides met on October 15, 17, and 18 on the campus of Tsinghua University, In addition to the regular members of the project, six Chinese researchers joined in the meeting. The objective of the meeting was to promote mutual understanding in the methods of disaster management and their background in the two countries. Physical aspects of earthquake disaster, such as seismic activity, earthquake prediction, soil profiling, and building design and vulnerability, were the major topics of discussion. Other topics discussed were economic losses in earthquakes and the general framework of earthquake countermeasures of China. After the meeting, technical excursions were carried out by the project members. Interviews were done with the planners, constructors, and managers of the areas so that their consideration of earthquakes might be clarified.2. Year 2 (April 1997 - March 1998) : Three of the Chinese members visited Japan to investigate the current status of information systems for supporting disaster response. They visited several disaster management sections of local governments. They also visited a construction company to exchange-design methods for building structures.3. Year 3 (April 1998 - March 1999) : Two technical visits of the Japanese members to China were done. In the first visit, technical excursions and interviews in Beijing from urban planning point of view were done. The history and current situation of Chinese urban planning and consideration of earthquakes in urban planning were the point of interest, In the second visit, the members visited the Lijiang area, Yunnan Province. The area was affected in the 1996 Lijiang earthquake, and the effect of the earthquake on the disaster management and the change in built environment in the reconstruction were surveyed.
