內容簡介：
This research aims to propose a method for estimating production capacity in industrial sectors damaged by natural disaster and to apply that method to the case of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Production capacity is fundamental information required to gain an understanding of economic losses caused by supply shock. Focusing on the fact that data on past disasters have revealed that the main causes of capacity losses were damage to production facilities and disruption of lifeline systems, this paper proposes a method of capacity estimation that considers these two factors. To achieve the quantitative estimation of production capacity, functional fragility curves considering the relationship between production capacity and earthquake ground motion and lifeline resilience factors are adopted in order to take into account different types of hazards, while actual recovery curves are considered mainly for damaged facilities. Through the application of this method to this case study of natural disaster, production capacity in various industrial sectors is estimated and the estimated capacities in the manufacturing sectors are then compared with the corresponding index of industrial production. The results demonstrate that the estimated values are close to the actual production indices in the overall manufacturing sector and many of individual sectors.
