Abstract

Earthquakes are still a major issue in Indonesia, one of the earthquake-prone areas is Lampung Province. There are many sources of earthquakes in Lampung, due to the influenced by the Indo Australian Plate against the Eurasian Plate, Semangko Fault, and Tarahan Fault. Tarahan Fault that passes through Pringsewu district and Bandar Lampung City is an active fault where the west side of the fault force moves to the northeast. Judging from the occurrence of the earthquake so far, it should be taken into account the possibility that there is a large buildup of energy in the Lampung area, one of them in Pringsewu. One of the efforts in earthquake disaster mitigation is to know the level of vulnerability, in this study based on its social aspects. This social vulnerability can be known through social vulnerability analysis or Social Vulnerability Index (SOVI). This analysis uses a comparative matrix that gives a broad picture of social vulnerability relative to earthquake hazards. The results showed that the regions with very high social vulnerability were in Gading Rejo Subdistrict while the low social vulnerability was in Ambarawa, Banyumas and Adiluwih Subdistricts.
