Moderate earthquake might cause disaster, "Big earthquake means doomsday" are facts in rural areas of our country. Lessons of the Wenchuan earthquake made us realize the importance and urgency of seismic resistance of rural residence. Base on the survey of rural residence in Zhucheng city, Shandong province, the structural characteristics of rural residence and basic condition of seismic safety in Zhucheng city were analyzed in the paper. By contrast with the seismic intensity map, we find the outstanding problems that exist in seismic resistance of rural residence in Shandong province and then proposed countermeasures.
