Summary Disaster mitigation measures against heavy rains and earthquakes have been implemented to enhance the safety of roads. However, under the recent limitation of the investment for the disaster mitigation, it is one of the important issues to select the appropriate prioritization among several vulnerable facilities so as to achieve the maximum efficiency. In this study, the disaster risk evaluation method to identify the priority was proposed in consideration of the disaster risks of each facility and the road network functions in the area.
