As a result, disaster researches of social and human dimensions get more attention. Especially, vulnerability research is becoming an important issue. Vulnerability refers to the potential conditions of society, and the higher vulnerability of disaster also represents the disaster will cause greater losses. So a study of vulnerability to disaster risk assessment can be a very important part. The vulnerability can be explained into two kinds of meanings.
