000010445 520__ $$2eng$$aThe building code of Nepal was prepared in 1994 but it was implemented in 2001 in one of the municipality first, which clearly marked a sign on the bottom- up approach on the success of implementation and increasing the code compliance rate. Now the coverage of code implementation has been increased with the experience of first municipality. Hence the bottom- up approach which includes dissemination of proper techniques and guidelines to the ground stake holders, awareness raising motivation and capacity building activities among general public is the most for successful implementation of building code. This paper intends to share the experiences of implementing building code in Nepal for improving seismic performance of buildings including discussion on key issues and bottom up approaches as well lessons learned from past .We believe that this paper will be very much useful for sharing the Nepal’s experience on Bottom up approaches on Building code implementation for the countries in south Asia as well as the other Developing countries in the world.
