We conducted an exhaustive survey of 383 buildings and roads in the northwest area of Chuo-3. The buildings and their surroundings were considered. Next, we conducted microtremor measurements on the ground in the area. The major findings of the investigation are summarized as follows. (a) Over 80% of the buildings are detached houses, and some have billboard architectures. Slate and pantile are used as the roofing material for all the buildings. (b) The buildings are densely packed. Some adjoin the frontal road with a separation of 2 m or less.
