The Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake in central Taiwan occurred on am 6:02, April 21, 1935, which was the deadliest earthquake disaster in Taiwan history. After the incident, Taiwan Sōtokufu conducted a detail investigation and published “Records of the 1935 Earthquake in Taiwan”. According to the investigation, the deaths/house-destroyed rate caused by the earthquake was significantly different between Hsinchu Prefecture and Taichung Prefecture. Previous study interpreted the difference is duo to the early rise of Hakka farmers as main population of Hsinchu Prefecture and the Hokkien businessmen wake up late as main population of Taichung Prefecture (Mori Yoshio, 1996; Cheng and Yeh, 2004). However, this study using detail investigation reveal the distribution of disasters with smaller administrative regions are inconsistent with previous interpretation. This study also adopted fault zone rupture distribution, literature survey and fieldwork to re-explore the reasons closer to the fact of the high deaths/house-destroyed rate regions. This re-exploration is not only helps to present the real causes, but also enhances the community residents' correct understanding of earthquakes during fieldworks and strengthens the community residents' confidence for their identity. Finally, this study organized earthquake fieldwork workshops by community colleges to enhance the effectiveness of earthquake disaster prevention education for the general public.
