Kabupaten Bogor merupakan salah satu wilayah yang rawan terhadap terjadinya bencana tanah longsor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hasil penerapan aplikasi QGIS Processing Modeler dalam menentukan potensi bencana tanah longsor di Kabupaten Bogor. Data yang digunakan adalah data curah hujan harian yang diekstraksi dari citra satelit Himawari-8 dan data area rawan longsor dari BNPB. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan citra satelit dan SIG, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan QGIS Processing Modeler untuk mengekstrak area berpotensi longsor berdasarkan curah hujan, dengan klasifikasi rentang nilai yang berpotensi menyebabkan bencana tanah longsor yaitu ≥120 mm. Geologi wilayah penelitian tersusun atas batu lempung dan batupasir, material tersebut bersifat lepas dan tidak stabil. Berdasarkan klasifikasi kemiringan lereng wilayah ini daerah yang curam dengan kemiringan >40%. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut bahwa wilayah ini merupakan wilayah yang rawan tejadi bencana tanah longsor. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan penggunaan QGIS Processing Modeler efektif digunakan dibandingkan model pada aplikasi lain. Dengan memahami icon pada aplikasi tersebut maka dapat dibentuk modeler-nya, dan bisa langsung membuat peta untuk menentukan lokasi bencana tanah longsor pada Kabupaten Bogor tanpa eksport script ke aplikasi lain, sehingga modeler tersebut dapat digunakan berkali-kali dengan input data curah hujan dengan waktu dan lokasi yang berbeda.

Salah satu metode fisika yang sering digunakan dalam geofisika medan adalah metode gravitasi atau gayaberat. Dalam hal ini dilakukan pemisahan anomali residu nilai gravitasi yang diukur di sekitar wilayah sesar Cimandiri Provinsi Jawa Barat, dengan koordinat batas penelitian dari koordinat lintang 6.95°LS – 7.2°LS dan koordinat bujur dari 106.5°BT – 107.1°BT, dengan filter matriks Elkins pada data real-time dari University California of San Diego. Dengan metode ini, ketampakan sesar Cimandiri dapat terlihat dari kerapatan kontur anomalinya. Anomali residu rata-rata yang diukur sekitar 10-20 mGal. Ini membuktikan filter matriks Elkins baik untuk digunakan dalam kajian ketampakan sesar dan anomali residu. Temuan citra Sesar Cimandiri bermanfaat dalam mendukung perencanaan pengurangan risiko bencana gempabumi pada masa mendatang.

One of the physics methods that is often used in geophysics is the gravity method. In this case, the residual anomaly of gravity values is separated from the area of the Cimandiri fault, West Java Province, with the coordinates of the research boundary from latitude coordinates 6.95°
South Latitude – 7.2° South Latitude and longitude coordinates from 106.5° East Longitude – 107.1° East, with an Elkins matrix filter. on real-time data from the University of California of San Diego. With this method, the appearance of the Cimandiri fault can be seen from the density of its anomalous contours. The average residual anomaly measured is about 10-20 mGal. This proves that the Elkins matrix filter is good for use in the study of fault appearances and residual anomalies. The Cimandiri fault sensing is beneficial to planning support for future Disaster Risk Reduction.

In a fairly short time span, about three years, the Mamasa region experienced two series of swarm earthquakes. It is interesting because there is a striking difference between the number of visitors to the earthquake and the impact it has. The biggest difference in magnitude is only 0.1, which is between M5.4 and M5.3 respectively for 2018 and 2021. In 2018 there were 535 earthquakes with a duration of 22 days caused damage to 243 buildings, while in 2021 for a duration of 2 months there were 339 earthquakes, without any building damage. From the epicenter distribution and the crosssection of the hypocenter, it can be seen that there are quite striking differences in distribution patterns. In 2018 the distribution of the epicenter is dominant in the north-south direction and the cross-section has a 45 degree slope pattern to the east indicating a fault pattern, while the distribution of the epicenter in 2021 is more northeast-southwest with a random cross-section that does not show a fault pattern, more likely due to hot spring activity. The largest major magnitude occurred in about 12 to 15 days with the number of earthquakes recorded as 289 and 48, respectively for the years 2018 and 2021. Meanwhile, the second largest magnitude occurred almost at the same time in both 2018 and 2021, which is about 30 minutes after the main magnitude. with a difference in magnitude of 0.3 and 1.0 respectively for 2018 and 2021

On February 25, 2022 at 08:39:29 Local Time an unexpected earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 Mw struck the Western part of Sumatera, onshore, and located on the blind fault. It is very likely that the earthquake was from Angkola Fault, but there is still a possibility that there are still other active faults in this area that have not been mapped yet. The areas that were affected by the earthquake are Pasaman, Western Pasaman, Limapuluh Kota, Padang Pariaman and Agam regencies. The focal mechanism from BMKG show that the dominant mechanism of this earthquake was the right lateral (dextral) strike movement. The worst devastation was in Western Pasaman and the damage from this earthquake was wide spread. An estimated 6627 houses have been destroyed and 70 mosques were damaged, 41 offices were devastated, 208 schools and educational institutions, 25 medical infrastructures, and 5 bridges were damaged. An on-site post-event survey was carried out to investigate the effects. We conduct mapping ground ruptures and cracking in an effort to find surface expression of fault rupture. Right after the main shock, a few seismometers were deployed near expected epicenter. By using macro seismic observation, micro seismic measurement, and impact documentation, we also find collateral impact that is flash flood and soil landslide which broken some access points. The destructive earthquake is a reminder expected the serious future seismic threats to comply implementation of the Building Codes.

<p>Tsunami risk in Indonesia is strongly real and needs serious handling. Due to the extremely dangerous, it is important for coastal communities to be prepared and responsive in responding to threats. The recent decade tsunami disaster highlighted the extraordinary gaps and challenges on the development and strengthening of the downstream component on the system. Communities need to be educated, aware and ready to respond to warnings both natural as well as official warnings. For this reason, the Indonesia Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) considers to introduce an Indonesia Tsunami Ready programme that will encourage communities to build, strengthen and develop their capacity and ability to respond to tsunami threats.</p><p>In this paper we try to analyze the community actualization on hazard assessment, preparedness, and response as the result of the Indonesian Tsunami Ready programme. The assessment is based on the 12 indicators of the tsunami ready which had been determined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization-the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (UNESCO-IOC). A field survey of the 12 indicators has been carried out to assess seven communities (Penggarangan, Pangandaran, Gelagah, Kemandang, Tambakrejo, Kuta Mandalika, and Tanjung Benoa) living in the tsunami prone area.</p><p>Generally, the results showed the communities didn’t have the updated tsunami hazard map as the hazard assessment indicator. The previous hazard map was not established based on the latest seismological study and tsunami modelling. Most of communities have an emergency operation plan for earthquake and tsunami, even though it doesn’t consider the earthquake information and tsunami warning. In some villages such as Tanjung Benoa and Kuta Mandalika, local potentials are used also to empower the preparedness and response capacity.</p><p>BMKG gave an advocacy to complete and accomplish some the unavailable indicators such as tsunami hazard map, emergency operation plan, and public education materials. The result of this study is expected to be an effective way to build a community awareness, preparedness and response.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> tsunami ready, 12 indicators of tsunami ready, hazard assessment, preparedness, response</p>

This study aims to denote the possible casualties and damages due to the M<5 earthquake. We used the desk study of literatures to explore earthquake disaster reports. The published significant and destructive earthquakes catalogue by BMKG Indonesia along 2015-2019 noted that six events out of them in Java island due to by below magnitude 5 (M<5) earthquakes. Those are sourced in the land and shallow depth focus on the active faults region. Those earthquakes also cause human losses, that is three events out of them induce casualties, and kill two (2) people. Preliminary analysis concludes that the short distance to earthquake source and local site condition was responsible for this unexpected building damages. We suggest this events to be the lesson learned for disaster risk managers to consider the low magnitude earthquake also able to generate the high hazard on the certain seismic prone areas.

Resilience is more capable of dealing with hydro-meteorological disasters compared to the risk. Resilience is a positive concept that puts forward adaptation efforts so that more in line with sustainable development goals. This study aims to introduce the resilience concept in dealing with hydro-meteorological disasters and apply it at the provincial level in Indonesia. The methods used are: 1) measuring the climate risk index (CRI), 2) measuring the adaptation capacity index (ACI), and 3) classifying the provinces based on CRI and ACI. Grouping CRI and ACI are used to define provinces which have the potential to bounce back better (low CRI - high ACI), bounce back (high CRI – high ACI), recover but worse than before (low CRI -low ACI), and collapse (high CRI – low ACI). The study results indicate that throughout 2017 there are 10 provinces that South Sumatra, Central Java, and West Nusa Tenggara. In contrast, 3 provinces with the most have the potential to bounce back better, 7 pro...

Within the last decade, advances on empirical formula to determine ground acceleration is strongly involved in order to undertake seismic hazard analysis. We need to provide a means of estimating the ground shaking from an earthquake given its earthquake source type, ray-path, and local site condition called Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs). However, this study is rarely done in South and South-East of Sulawesi. This study aims to determine the GMPEs coefficient using selected 481 record of ground motion database by 18 accelerometer at 2011-2015. Local site condition of station is classified by dominant period and the type of earthquake is segregate according to tectonic regime that is shallow crustal, interface and intraslab. We made statistical regression analysis to find the relation between attenuation and distance. The result shows that attenuation relation of low value ground acceleration to increasing of distance has peak ground acceleration much lower, compare to early equation that fitt...

Within the last decade, advances in the acquisition, processing and transmission of data from seismic monitoring has contributed to the growth in the number structures instrumented with such systems. An equally important factor for such growth can be attributed to the demands by stakeholders to find rapid answers to important questions related to the functionality or state of “health” of structures during and immediately of a seismic events. Consequently, this study aims to monitor the storey building based on seismic response i. e. earthquake and tremor analysis at short time lapse using accelerographs data. This study used one of storey building (X) in Jakarta city that suffered the effects of Kebumen earthquake January 25th 2014, Pandeglang earthquake July 9th 2014, and Lebak earthquake November 8th 2014. Tremors used in this study are tremors after the three following earthquakes. Data processing used to determine peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), peak ground displacement (PGD), spectral acceleration (SA), spectral velocity (SV), spectral displacement (SD), A/V ratio, acceleration amplification and effective duration (te). Then determine the natural frequency (f0) and peak of H/V ratio using H/V ratio method.The earthquakes data processing result shows the value of peak ground motion, spectrum response, A/V ratio and acceleration amplification increases with height, while the value of the effective duration give a different viewpoint of building dynamic because duration of Kebumen earthquake shows the highest energy in the highest floor but Pandeglang and Lebak earthquake in the lowest floor. Then, tremors data processing result one month after each earthquakes shows the natural frequency of building in constant value. Increasing of peak ground motion, spectrum response, A/V ratio, acceleration amplification, then decrease of effective duration following the increase of building floors shows that the building construction supports the increasing of shaking and strongly influenced by local site effect. The constant value of building natural frequency shows the building still in good performance. This monitoring is very important and useful for help public safety by recommend to rehabilitate the functionality of structures.

ABSTRACT As seismotectonic, the Jakarta city will be greatly affected by the earthquake which originated from the subduction zone of the Sunda Strait and south of Java. Some occurrences of earthquakes in these location are often perceived by the occupants in the upper floors of multi-storey buildings in Jakarta but was not perceived by the occupants on the ground floor. The case shows the difference in ground-motion parameters on each floor height. The analysis of the earthquake data recorded by accelerographs on different floors need to be done to know the differences in ground-motion parameters. Data used in this research is accelerograph data installed on several floors in the main building of Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Agency with a case study of Kebumen earthquake on January 25th 2014. Parameters analyzed include the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Peak Ground Displacement (PGD), Peak Spectral Acceleration (PSA), Amplification (Ag), and the Effective Duration of earthquake (te). Research stages include accelerographs data acquisition in three (3) different floors, conversion and data partition for each component, conversion to units of acceleration, determination of PGA, PGD, PSA, Ag and te as well as data analysis. The study shows the value of PGA on the ground floor, 7th floor and 15th floors, respectively are 0.016 g, 0.053 g and 0.116 g. PGD on the ground floor, 7th floor and 15th floor respectively are 2.15 cm, 2.98 cm and 4.92 cm. PSA on the ground floor, 7th floor and 15th floor respectively are 0.067 g, 0.308 g and 0.836 g. Amplification of the peak acceleration value on the ground floor, 7th floor and 15th floor to the surface rock are 4.37, 6.07 and 7.30. Effective duration of the earthquake on the ground floor, 7th floor and 15th floor respectively are 222.28 s, 202.28 s and 91.58 s. In general, with increasing floor of the building, the value of the peak ground acceleration, peak ground displacement, peak spectral acceleration and amplification growing, contrary to the value of the effective duration of earthquake decreases. The difference in this parameter is strongly influenced by local soil conditions and building construction.

(In English) The strong and felt earthquake with magnitude 6.5 occurred in 119 km to the southeast of Cilacap Regency, Central Java Province at a depth of 48 km. The earthquake centered on the sea at coordinates 8.48o latitude and 109.17o east longitude on January 25, 2014. The earthquake triggered damage in several locations, including the districts of Banyumas, Kebumen, Cilacap and Purworejo. In order to mitigate natural hazards, this study aims to determine the relationship between seismic wave velocity and depth of layers near the surface in shallow geological structures. The method used in this study is the seismic refraction method. This method is done by interpreting seismic signals from man-made waves that spread near the surface of the earth. The seismogram will display the travel time of the waves, the distance between the waves and the source of the waves themselves. The structure of the geological layers that exist in the earth can be estimated based on the magnitude of the seismic wave velocity. This research is located in the campus area of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences Karangsambung. Measurements were made considering its location close to the center of the earthquake and the uniqueness of the rock formed by the removal of the ocean floor. Based on the results of the study it is known that there is a relationship between seismic wave velocity and the depth of the layers near the surface. The deeper the layer of soil from the earth's surface, the seismic wave velocity will be higher. Keywords: seismic; refraction; geo-hazard; soil property (In Bahasa) Gempabumi kuat dan dirasakan dengan kekuatan magnitudo 6.5 terjadi di 119 km ke arah tenggara Kabupaten Cilacap, Propinsi Jawa Tengah pada kedalaman 48 km. Gempabumi tersebut berpusat di laut pada koordinat 8.48 o LS dan 109.17 o BT pada tanggal 25 Januari 2014. Gempabumi tersebut memicu dampak kerusakan di beberapa lokasi, termasuk kabupaten Banyumas, Kebumen, Cilacap dan Purworejo. Dalam rangka mitigasi bahaya alam kebumian, maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kecepatan gelombang seismik dengan kedalaman lapisan-lapisan dekat permukaan pada struktur geologi dangkal. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode seismik refraksi. Metode ini dilakukan dengan menginterpretasi sinyal seismik dari gelombang buatan manusia yang menjalar di dekat permukaan bumi. Seismogram akan menampilkan waktu tempuh gelombang, jarak antar gelombang dan sumber gelombangnya sendiri. Struktur lapisan geologi yang ada di dalam bumi dapat diperkirakan berdasarkan besarnya kecepatan gelombang seismik. Penelitian ini berlokasi di area kampus Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) Karangsambung. Pengukuran dilakukan mengingat lokasinya yang dekat dengan pusat gempabumi dan keunikan batuannya yang terbentuk dari pengangkatan lantai dasar samudra. Berdasarkah hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa terdapat hubungan antara kecepatan gelombang seismik dengan kedalaman lapisan-lapisan dekat permukaan.

This study aims to denote the possible casualties and damages due to the M<5 earthquake. We used the desk study of literatures to explore earthquake disaster reports. The published significant and destructive earthquakes catalogue by BMKG Indonesia along 2015-2019 noted that six events out of them in Java island due to by below magnitude 5 (M<5) earthquakes. Those are sourced in the land and shallow depth focus on the active faults region. Those earthquakes also cause human losses, that is three events out of them induce casualties, and kill two (2) people. Preliminary analysis concludes that the short distance to earthquake source and local site condition was responsible for this unexpected building damages. We suggest this events to be the lesson learned for disaster risk managers to consider the low magnitude earthquake also able to generate the high hazard on the certain seismic prone areas.

Resilience is more capable of dealing with hydro-meteorological disasters compared to the risk. Resilience is a positive concept that puts forward adaptation efforts so that more in line with sustainable development goals. This study aims to introduce the resilience concept in dealing with hydro-meteorological disasters and apply it at the provincial level in Indonesia. The methods used are: 1) measuring the climate risk index (CRI), 2) measuring the adaptation capacity index (ACI), and 3) classifying the provinces based on CRI and ACI. Grouping CRI and ACI are used to define provinces which have the potential to bounce back better (low CRI-high ACI), bounce back (high CRI-high ACI), recover but worse than before (low CRI-low ACI), and collapse (high CRI-low ACI). The study results indicate that throughout 2017 there are 10 provinces that South Sumatra, Central Java, and West Nusa Tenggara. In contrast, 3 provinces with the most have the potential to bounce back better, 7 provinces bounce back, 7 provinces recover but worse than before, and 10 provinces collapse. In general, 3 provinces with the lowest resilience are resilient levels are Riau, Bangka Belitung, and Riau Islands.

A ground acceleration map is needed as a consideration in building construction. Therefore, a good ground motion attenuation model is needed to predict the condition in the field properly. This study discusses ground motion attenuation models that are appropriate for West Sumatra and Bengkulu based on distant subduction interface and intraslab earthquakes from 9 attenuation models. The ground motion data in this study are from 13 Meteorological, Clima-tological, and Geophysical Agency's (BMKG) accelerograph sensors that are located in West Sumatra and Bengkulu regions from 2012 to 2017 with a distance of less than 1000 km from the earthquake sources, magnitude range of 4.1-6.4 for subduction interface earthquakes, and 4.1-6.5 for subduction intraslab earthquakes. The results show that the ground motion attenuation model from Kanno et al. (2006) has the best result with an RMSE value of 0.46 for subduction interface earthquakes and the model from Bernal et al. (2012) with RMSE value of 0.49 for subduction intraslab earthquakes.

Recent tsunamis, especially after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, provided a better understanding and knowledge of tsunami science as well as on how to build awareness and preparedness. However, tsunamis that happened before 2004, there is limited and/or scattered data, information, records, and reports of the events. In addition, there is either limited or no eyewitness's story documented, including pictures and videos. The lack of information makes it difficult for policymakers, researchers, and other institutions to disseminate local and contextualized information to the public in raising awareness and education on disaster preparation and mitigation. If a tsunami has happened in the past, it is most likely to happen again in the future. It is imperative that we learn from the past and prepare for the future. This study aims to improve the knowledge of the impact of the tsunami in selected sites in Indonesia and the Philippines prior to 2004, through investigation of historical documents and archives, as well as documentation of eyewitness accounts. The result of this study is expected to be a more effective way to build awareness and to educate the local community. Having evidence-based of past tsunami event in the area will motivate stronger preparedness. It will also provide a better understanding to the local policymakers, disaster management agencies, as well as the community as it is based on local eyewitness accounts and other local sources, as opposed to using examples from other sites, districts, countries or regions.

The Tropical Depression previously identified on March 3, 2017, at Arafuru Sea has grown to Tropical Cyclone Blance on March 5, 2017. The existence of Tropical Cyclone Blance gave impacts like increasing rainfall for some regions in Indonesia until March 7, 2017, such as Kupang. The increase of rainfall cannot be separated from the atmospheric dynamics related to convection processes and the formation of clouds. Analysis of weather parameters is made such as vorticity to observe vertical motion over the study area, vertical velocity to see the speed of lift force in the atmosphere, wind to see patterns of air mass distribution and rainfall to see the increase of rainfall compared to several days before the cyclone. Analysis of satellite imagery data is used as supporting analysis to see clouds imagery and movement direction of the cyclone. The results of weather parameters analysis show strong vorticity and lift force of air mass support the growth of Cumulonimbus clouds, cyclonic patterns on wind streamline and significant increase of rainfall compared to previous days. The results of satellite imagery analysis show the convective clouds over Kupang and surrounding areas when this phenomena and cyclone pattern moved down from Arafuru Sea towards the western part of Australia.

Sulawesi, one of the biggest island in Indonesia, located on the convergence of two macro plate that is Eurasia and Pacific. NOAA and Novosibirsk Tsunami Laboratory show more than 20 tsunami data recorded in Sulawesi since 1820. Based on this data, determination of correlation between tsunami and earthquake parameter need to be done to proved all event in the past. Complete data of magnitudes, fault sizes and tsunami heights on this study sourced from NOAA and Novosibirsk Tsunami database, completed with Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) catalog. This study aims to find correlation between moment magnitude, fault size and tsunami height by simple regression. The step of this research are data collecting, processing, and regression analysis. Result shows moment magnitude, fault size and tsunami heights strongly correlated. This analysis is enough to proved the accuracy of historical tsunami database in Sulawesi on NOAA, Novosibirsk Tsunami Laboratory and PTWC.
