1. Abstract
This guide describes the file of site amplification factors. The details are as follows.

2. File naming rule
The site amplification factors file for Japan whole area is named as follows
Z-[Version code]-JAPAN-AMP-VS400_M250.csv
The file for a first-mesh is named like

Explanation
The 250m mesh data used for 2014 version of "National Seismic Hazard Maps for

V3

Japan".
The 250m mesh data used for 2020 version of "National Seismic Hazard Maps for

V4

Japan".

(2) First-mesh code
First-mesh code is a part of the standard grid system defined in JIS X 0410 and JIS X
0410/AMENDMENT1:2002. A first-mesh is a square area of 2/3 degrees latitude × 1 degree longitude(about 75km × 90km). This geographical coordinate system adopts the standard grid square (meshcode N) based on Tokyo Datum.

3. Data description
The file is a CSV file and consists of comment lines prefixed by "#" and data block. The comment
lines describe the file version, date and update history. The details are as follows:(1) File version
File version is described in a format “# VER. = X.Y”. X means the major version, and Y means
the minor version.

(2) Date
Date is described in a format “# DATE = YYYY-MM-DD”.

The J-SHIS Earthquake Code
1. Abstract
This guide describes the file of the J-SHIS Earthquake Code. The details are as follows.

2. Earthquake code
Earthquake code identifies Hazard curve and Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Maps data. In thiscode, “_A” indicates earthquakes with specified source faults, “_B” is earthquakes that the source
faults can be specified by a domain and “_C” is earthquakes without specified source faults.

This guide describes the file of the J-SHIS Fault Code. The details are as follows.

2. Fault code
Fault code is defined for the source fault of Characteristic earthquakes occurring in major
active fault zone, subduction-zone earthquakes and earthquakes occurring in other active faults.

(1) Major active fault zones
Table 2-1 shows the fault code of major active fault zones.

The J-SHIS Earthquake Group Code
1. Abstract
This guide describes the file of the J-SHIS Earthquake Group Code. The details are as follows.

2. Earthquake Group code
Earthquake Group code is defined for earthquakes occurring in major active fault zone bothof Charactristic Earthquakes and EQTHR*1.
(*1) EQTHR: EarthQuakes whose Traces are Hardly Recognized(1) Eathquake occurring major active fault zones
Table 2-1 shows the Earthquake Group code and their Fault codes which are the earthquake
contained in the group for earthquakes occurring in major active fault zones.

1. Abstract
This guide describes the ESRI Shapefile of seismic hazard map in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard
Maps (PSHM). The details are as follows.

2. File naming rule
The J-SHIS PSHM map ESRI Shapefile for Japan whole area is named as follows
P-[Year code]-MAP-[Probability case code]-[Earthquake code]-SHAPE.[shp|shx|dbf|prj]
The map data file for a first-mesh is named likeP-[Year code]-MAP-[Probability case code]-[Earthquake code]-SHAPE-[First-mesh code].[shp|shx|dbf|prj](1) Year code
Year code is described in a format YNNNN. This code indicates the year when the hazard map
issued. "_MX" is attached if multiple models exist in a year. X indicates model ID number begins
from 2.

(4) First mesh code
First-mesh code is a part of the standard grid system defined in JIS X 0410 and JIS X
0410/AMENDMENT1:2002. A first-mesh is a square area of 2/3 degrees latitude × 1 degree longitude(about 75km × 90km). This geographical coordinate system adopts the standard grid square (meshcode N) based on the Tokyo Datum.

3. Data description
This ESRI Shapefile stores geometry of 250m-mesh and attribute information described in Table
3-1. An ESRI Shapefile consists of a main file (*.shp), an index file (*.shx), a dBASE table135

(*.dbf), and a projection file (*.prj).
