Abstract
The complexity of geographical conditions and regional morphology of Padang City have caused it to be at high risk of multi-hazard. Padang City is located near the meeting point of the Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, and also on the Sumatra Fault line (Semangko Fault). Therefore, strong infrastructures are needed in order to minimize the impact of the risk of multi-hazard. This study is conducted to measure the resilience of Padang City’s infrastructures toward multi-hazard and provide recommendations to improve the resilience of Padang City’s infrastructures toward Multi-hazard. This study was conducted with qualitative methods and presented quantitatively in the form of diagrams. The measurement is carried out based on the concept of city toughness measurements made by UNISDR known as the "Scorecard". This study only focuses on essential 8 about "Increase Infrastructure Resilience" and essential 10 about "Expedite Recovery and Build Back Better". From this study, it can be concluded that the resilience of Padang City infrastructures is still relatively low so several recommendations that are expected will increase the resilience of Padang City’s infrastructures are proposed, that are; in-depth assessment, data collection and supervision monitoring of infrastructures, important assets, and protective infrastructure.
Highlights
The complexity condition of its geographical and regional morphology have caused Padang City to be exposed to multi-hazard
Besides being located near the meeting point of Indo-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, Padang City is located on the Sumatera Fault Line and near to Mentawai Fault Point[1]
Whereas the scorecard essential 8, subject/issue that can be measured in Padang City is : 1. Protective Infrastructure 2
Summary
The complexity condition of its geographical and regional morphology have caused Padang City to be exposed to multi-hazard. One of the potential disaster that has caused physical damage and victims is a quietly huge earthquake disaster that occurred on September 30th, 2009. Where the final data shows the number of victims died in West Sumatera is 1.195 people. The other victims that seriously injured are 619 people and 1.179 minor injuries based on data. While the material loss data mentioned 114.797 resident houses were severely damaged, 67.198 were moderately damaged, and 67.828 were lightly damage. The purpose and objective of this research are to measure the resilience of Padang City’s infrastructure towards multi-hazard, and to propose the recommendations that can increase the resilience of infrastructure so it can be useful to all parties
