Abstract

This paper aims to establish a method to support designs of policies for prevailing anti-seismic retrofitting of wooden fragile houses by local governments. Specifically, we conduct the following three items. First, we list up and structure the criteria (or psychological factors) that individuals keep in mind when they decider their own attitudes toward seismic retrofitting. In order to neglect comprehensive items that do not overlap with each other, we exclude individual attributes and indirect factors. Second, based on the established structure, we propose a framework to rationalize the change in the distribution of the degree to which people intend to adopt seismic retrofitting. This enables us to investigate effective ways of combining different approaches toward the ultimate goal of prevailing retrofitting. Third, we investigate the most effective ways of embodying each of the approaches by identifying relevant demographic and personality variables.
