Abstract

"This handbook - written by planners and hazards management specialists - has as its premise that land use planning techniques are useful and potentially less costly than some other mitigation measures, particularly structural ones, that decrease earthquake loss potential. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of such techniques in a more systematic manner, a comprehensive decision-making framework is presented. It outlines the steps local officials in an earthquake-prone area can take to determine the effectiveness of land use planning techniques to reduce losses in their community from an earthquake."
