Summary of discussions/comments during Q & A times
Session 1:
PP-bandAttaching is easy. Just prepare the mesh, put them inside and outside, and just connect them by steel
wire or any material. The effect will be low if there’s any space between the mesh and the inside brick so
if the connection is imperfect, you should put material (mortar or cement) on the surface.
Several model houses using our system are in central Java and you can visit them.
Certainly by lowering the cost, it is easier to make PP-band more acceptable, but in fact, an insurancecompany is very interested in the system and a village scale implementation is now on progress in India.
Also it may be well promoted by firstly introducing it to public facilities but this system is basically for thenon-engineering section and it should be promoted by establishing good seismic call and a quality
control system.
Efficiency would be higher if we use 45°mesh, but 90°mesh is more than enough and also it is easy toprepare. / Dr. Kimiro MEGURO
Minimum requirement for reconstruction after EQ
We learned from the experience of the Java Earthquake when we were criticized by the governmentthat our proposal did not fit the local standard. We are still developing the minimum requirement. This isjust one approach of the Peruvian experience. / Mr. Ichiro KOBAYASHIEEW system
EEW is one technology to give a warning before strong motion and another research is needed to fully
utilize it to make it result in reducing damages. / Dr. Tatsuo NARAFU
Some core space inside the building must be prepared to escape. / Dr. Shunroku YAMAMOTO
JR uses the same system for 5-10 years. / Dr. Shunroku YAMAMOTO
A station costs 40 million yen, home seismometer costs 40-60 thousand yen. / Dr. Shigeki HORIUCHI

Session 2:
Disaster Relief
When disaster happens we contact JICA(located in more than 150 countries), MOFA and Japanese
embassy. Time to time we share it with the rescue team. / Mr. Hitoshi SATO
When the team dispatch the country we try to cooperate with local government through LEMA (LocalEmergency Management Agency). We provide a scheme on rescue training, disaster reduction /mitigation and rescue technique. JICA has training courses; one or two person(s) will be invited for 2
weeks up to 3 months (the period depends on the course). Please contact local JICA offices forinformation. / Mr. Hitoshi SATO
Instructors / graduates of our PR program are familiar with interact process and they know therequirement of collaboration. Response given by the MFR is higher than first aid but lower than medical
response but it can stabilize the victims. Assessment will be given and injury will be identified. But whenthe victim is to be taken out and transported to the hospital, they should be provided with necessary
medical response. Therefore some medical rescue course is necessary to be taken to gain medical
response skills to be used inside the collapsed buildings. / Mr. Amod DIXIT33

Session 3:
Why the result differed between Japanese and Pakistani brickThe reason why the Japanese brick survived the shake and the Pakistani brick didn’t, is an issue weare still studying on, but at least there are two factors to be considered; (1) Strength between mortar andbrick --- Japanese brick bond harder to mortar than Pakistan’s, (2) The two walls only became separated
on the Pakistani brick side. / Dr. Toshikazu HANAZATO
Future advancement of cyclic loading experiment
We are trying to quantify numerical data of the common practice of Indonesia. This is just a first stepand it’s a basic result. We’ll continue adding to this result. / Dr. Dyah KUSUMASTUTI, Dr. Tatsuo
NARAFU
Difficulty in introducing sliding seismic isolator by steel plate to a masonry unit
Slab is a big problem. There is a need to make a rigid base and reinforce it to introduce this system to amasonry unit which isn’t a rigid block. / Dr. Eizaburo TACHIBANACost of the seismic isolation technology using scrap tires
Maybe about $15. It’s nearly free. If there’s any need for expenses they’re for steel between the tiresand rods to join. / Dr. Ahmed TURER
Period of sliding style isolator
There’s no natural period for sliding isolation system. / Dr. Yuji ISHIYAMARelation between seismic characteristic and the system operation
Structural period equals seismic characteristic period and if the character is soft, earthquake period will
be large. That means, if the seismic characteristic is rigid, base isolation period will be short, and baseisolation system works better. / Dr. Iman Satyarno

Session 4:
Difference in earthquake risk perception among different areas in Indonesia
Capacity of schools / teachers does differ between big island and small islands, and big cities / urban
areas and rural areas. / Dr. Krishna PRIBADI
An Iranian case shows that information exchange of school retrofitting program and education programis effective. / Dr. Ando
Further action to enhance the crisis provision by women
It would be nice to expand this approach to some activities of introducing retrofitting improvement
program or method that is easy for women to understand. / Dr. Shoichi ANDO
Difficulties in developing administration and enforcement capacity
There are many difficulties but the main difficulty is that each of the twenty-eight local governments has
different local regulation on building permit and we have to arrange / prepare documents for all of them. /Mr. Yasuyuki KAMEMURAIn Nepal, in order to generalize administration and enforcement capacity development, the bestpractice in introducing building permit system had been introduced to other municipality through national
workshop or government information system. / Dr. Dr. Shoichi ANDO445
