Abstract;To promote the use of technical information and encourage developing countries to establish their own disaster prevention strategies, an earthquake damage estimation system that can take each country's technological conditions into account was developed. This damage estimation system is provided to developing countries through the "Information Network of Earthquake Disaster Prevention Technologies (IISEE-net)". Methods of earthquake damage estimation can be roughly divided into three categories; 1) earthquake source characteristic, 2) transmission and amplification of earthquake wave, 3) building response and damage, and respectively investigated and studied.
