Short summary
This study views seismic risk as a function of seismic hazard, population-building exposure, and demographic-socioeconomic vulnerability. Three statistical models are built to test determinants affecting disaster fatality at village scale; Poisson Regression is used to test the models in the case of 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan. Research finding proves that seismic behavior and intensity, building fragility, vulnerable demographics and social inequality are imperative factors in the risk.
