Abstract

Assessment of seismic hazard is necessary in land use planning and hazard mitigation. It leading to subdivided a region into sub-region which different safeguards to prevent damage in case an earthquake is occurred. The quantitative assessment of seismic hazard is carried out in Sungai Penuh and Kerinci Regency using deterministic seismic hazard analysis (DSHA) method. Earthquake scenario of Mw 7 at depth of 10 km by Siulak fault source were used for analysis to estimate the ground motion over the investigated areas. The resulting DSHA map reveals high seismic hazard level in terms of PGA 49.8 – 71.9 gal alongside the active Siulak fault zones. The intensity of the region are dominated by VII-VII of MMI scale which puts in the high hazard zone.
