The demonstrated project for seismic hazard prevention and reduction in Minna Areas (MDA), South Fujian Province is a regional one, in the period of 1996～2000, sponsored and supported by the joint efforts of the China Seismological Bureau (CSB), the government of Fujian province and the municipal governments of Xiamen, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. The project is a systematic one that has social and technological contents. It synthesizes advanced technology, relative regulations and effective adminstration. MDA includes the cities of Xiamen, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou and their surrounding areas. Three demonstrated cities share great similarities in seismic threat, economy and culture. To establish demonstrated project here is to explore an approach in the realization of the country's decade goal for seismic hazard mitigation and also in improving the ability of the whole area to prevent and reduce the seismic hazards by means of mutual cooperation and unified programmed arrangement.
