Risk perception is the internalization of knowledge on the earthquake risks and reduction measures and motivation towards it. The risk perception in one hand is constituted by the level of knowledge and awareness and on the other hand it depends on the motivational factors also. Motivation is dependent on social, cultural and economical factors. Hence understanding the level of risk perception of the key stake holders, which includes home-owners, masons, designers and supervisors, regulatory and implementing authorities and traders, is very important in designing the models for implementation of earthquake risk reduction programs. Survey on risk perception by different stakeholders (house owner, Mason and contractor and government officials in central level and local level) was done in different areas of Nepal as part of a Collaborative Research and Development Project for Disaster Mitigation in Earthquake Prone Areas of Asia implemented jointly by Building Research Institute (BRI), Japan, Graduate Research Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Japan and NSET. This paper presents the outcome of the survey, factors to be considered while designing strategies for earthquake risk reduction program and lesson learned during the risk perception survey.
