Abstract

Indonesia has a high level of seismic vulnerability because located in the junction area of four large plates, namely the Eurasian plate, Indo-Australian plate, Pacific plate, and Philippine Plate, and also the number of active faults that stretch throughout its regions. One of the efforts to mitigate earthquake disasters is to conduct seismic hazard microzonation efforts. The Research and Development Center of BMKG has carried out ongoing research in the field of seismic microzonation to obtain information on the level of seismic hazard in some regions based on microtremor parameter values, including in the Sukabumi (2009), Bantul (2010), Padang (2011), Cilacap (2012), Kulonprogo (2014), Tasikmalaya (2017), Garut (2018) and Pangandaran (2019). This study tries to prototype the seismic microzonation information system in a web-based spatial information system called InaSMIS (Indonesia Seismic Microzonation Information System). InaSIMS contains information about the analysis of microtremor survey results, including the value of the dominant period (T0), Ground Shear Strain (GSS), and USGS Vs30, which states the level of seismic hazard in an area. InaSMIS is still being developed in the research stage and is not yet an operational service for BMKG. In the future, InaSMIS expected to be a source of public information to determine seismic hazards in Indonesian regions.
