It is the general consensus that korea is safe from some disasters, particularly earthquake. However, it is not difficult to see the countries considered as safety zones have occasionally experienced a severe earthquakes. In this case, damages and casualties are much serious because they were not prepared for the earthquakes. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a counterplan about an earthquake. In this paper, we analyzed several damages by earthquakes using GIS based methods, and derived a counterproposal. The disasters caused by earthquakes are categorized into three riskiness factors, that is, a building destruction riskiness, a blaze riskiness and a refuge riskiness. Then, it is quantitatively analyzed by the degree of damage so that overall riskiness of the earthquake are assigned. In addition, it was shown that the analysis can be utilized to establish the escape route from the earthquake. It is expected that this study shows an good example of GIS application especially for preventing disasters.
