of The Study on Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in the Kathmandu Valley. It was
performed based on the latest situation of buildings, population, etc., and taking into
account the new research results on risk assessment method as well as the characteristics of ground motion, building damage, and human casualties caused by the
Gorkha Earthquake. The hazard and risk assessment of this project was targeted
only for earthquake as the most prioritized disaster. However earthquakes are not the
only target disaster in the pilot municipalities considering past disasters and possible
disasters, which might occur in the future.
This project, aiming at earthquake disaster risk reduction, which was started immediately after the Gorkha earthquake, has achieved all of its goals for seismic hazard
assessment, seismic risk assessment and formulation of BBB plans, LDCRP and SOP
for three pilot municipalities, and implementation of CBDRRM activities, which
contributed considerably to the commitment of Nepal on the enhancement of DRR
and the response to the priority for action and global target of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (Sendai Framework). It must be understood that
the seismic hazard and risk assessment are carried out based on limited data and
recognize that there is a long way to go to implement the LDCRP developed by the
project. The further actions for mainstreaming seismic disaster risk reduction must
be implemented in a planned manner.
The project contributes to the Sendai Framework and recommendations to achieve
disaster risk reduction and increase resilience in Kathmandu Valley. And last, a
roadmap is proposed for the purpose of concrete disaster risk reduction. It is
highly expected that all of the project, aiming at earthquake disaster risk reduction, which was started immediately after the Gorkha earthquake, has achieved all of
its goals for seismic hazard assessment, seismic risk assessment and formulation of
BBB plans, LDCRP and SOP for three pilot municipalities, and implementation of
CBDRRM activities, which contributed considerably to the commitment of Nepal

10.4.4 RSLUP of Changunarayan Municipality
RSLUP for Changunarayan municipality is a product of DCA funded innovation
project Promoting new Resilience Approaches in Younger and Smaller Municipalities (PRAYAS). PRAYAS augmented on the urban Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
project PRAGATI funded by European Union through Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid (ECHO), which was implemented in Changunarayan municipality of
Bhaktapur district.
