臺灣位處環太平洋地震帶上，致使建築物與人民生命財產常受到大地震之威脅。自1999年921地震後，政府積極推動「建築物實施耐震能力評估及補強方案」，針對公有建築物進行耐震能力評估與補強、抑或拆除重建等成效斐然，但私有建物之推動卻常因產權複雜等問題而困難重重，然而歷經近期的2016年美濃地震、2018年花蓮地震及2024年0403花蓮地震等地震後，仍有建築物嚴重損壞或倒塌，因此加速私有建築物耐震評估與補強之工作，刻不容緩。為此，行政院於2018 年底重新研擬全國建築物耐震安檢暨輔導重建補強計畫，全面執行全國危險及老舊建築物（簡稱「危老建物」）快篩、耐震評估、補強及重建，期降低震災造成的危害。為探討此政策執行面的適切性，本文彙整各國針對建築物耐震補強的積極政策作為，以美國、日本、紐西蘭等國家為例，比較與臺灣執行方式之差異，祈能加速私有建物耐震能力提升，保障人民生命財產安全。

Taiwan is located in the Pacific Rim Seismic Belt, as a result buildings, people’s lives and property are often threatened by major earthquakes. Since the 921 earthquake in 1999, the government has actively promoted the "Seismic Assessment and Rehabilitation Plan for Buildings". The seismic evaluation and retrofitting, or demolition and reconstruction of public buildings have achieved remarkable results. However, the promotion of private buildings is often due to complex property rights and other issues. After recent earthquakes such as the 2016 Meinong Earthquake, the 2018 Hualien Earthquake and the 0403 Hualien Earthquake in 2024, there are a lot of buildings that have been seriously damaged or collapsed. Therefore, the seismic assessment and repairs of private buildings have to be accelerated. To this end, the Executive Yuan re-developed the “National Building Seismic Safety Inspection, Guidance Reconstruction and Reinforcement Plan” at the end of 2018, planning and promoting phased rehabilitation to subsidize and assist private dangerous and old buildings before they undergo comprehensive rehabilitation or demolition and reconstruction. These policies provide short-term emergency treatment measures. In order to explore the appropriateness of the implementation of these policies, this manuscript summarizes the active policies for seismic rehabilitation in the United States, Japan, New Zealand as examples, and compares the differences in implementation methods with Taiwan, hoping to accelerate the implementation of seismic rehabilitation for private buildings, and to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.
