  The Belle experiment, operated at the asymmetric electron-positron collider KEKB, had accumulated a data sample with an integrated luminosity of more than 1 ab−1 before the shutdown in June 2010. We have started upgrading both the accelerator and the detector, SuperKEKB and Belle-II, to achieve the target luminosity of 8×1035 cm−2 s−1. With the increased luminosity, the beam background will be severe. The development of Machine- Detector Interface (MDI) design is crucial to cope with the increased background and protect Belle-II detector. We will present the estimation of impact from each beam background sources at SuperKEKB, such as Touschek-scattering, Beam-gas scattering, radiative Bhabha process, etc.. We will also present our countermeasures against them, such as collimators to stop scattered beam particles, Tungsten shield to protect inner detectors from shower particles, and dedicated beam pipe design around interaction point to stop synchrotron radiation, etc.
