Analysis of subsurface Resistivity Structures in Relation to the Level of Damage Caused by Earthquakes Using the Audio-Magnetotelluric (AMT) Method (Case study: the 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake)

Abstract The 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake had caused a disaster in Bantul area. Although the magnitude reached only Mw = 6.4, it left more than 6,000 fatalities and up to 1,000,000 homeless. The earthquakes that occur in this area is shallow earthquakes that originate on land (Opak fault) and triggers quite high surface damage. This damage includes damage to buildings and infrastructure that support community activities. The main objective of this research is to determine the subsurface structure and be able to identify soft layers based on the distribution of resistivity values that can be correlated to the value of the amplification factor. The Audio-Magnetotelluric (AMT) method was conducted in this area using five components of electric and magnetic fields. The Audio-Magnetotelluric (AMT) method utilizes electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 1 Hz to 100KHz. Based on the one-dimensional (1-D) inversion result calculated from 3 sites show that there is a low resistivity value (10 - 70 Ωm) from the surface to the depth of 1000 m. This ticked conductive zone interpreted as a sediment layer that can triggers the high amplification factor values.

K-Medoids and Support Vector Machine in Predicting the Level og Building Damage in Earthquake Insurance Modeling

Yogyakarta, an Indonesian province prone to earthquakes, frequently suffers extensive damage to buildings, necessitating insurance coverage to mitigate potential losses. This study aims to forecast earthquake insurance premiums by predicting building damage levels resulting from earthquakes. Utilizing data from buildings affected by the June 30, 2023, earthquake in Yogyakarta, we employ K-Medoids Clustering and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict two categories of building damage: minor (labelled as 1) and heavy (labelled as 2). The total premiums for minor damage range from approximately USD 86.55 to USD 288.50, while for heavy damage, they range from USD 120.05 to USD 400.18 using the K-Medoids algorithm. Meanwhile, premiums for minor damage range from USD 83.14 to USD 277.13, and for heavy damage, they range from USD 223.67 to USD 745.55 using the SVM algorithm.

Detailed seismic structure beneath the earthquake zone of Yogyakarta 2006 (Mw ∼6.4), Indonesia, from local earthquake tomography

The earthquake, which occurred in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on May 26, 2006, at 22:53:58 UTC with Mw ∼6.4, was one of the most destructive earthquakes in Indonesia. The earthquake caused thousands of fatalities, tens of thousands of injuries, and hundreds of thousands of house damages in the Yogyakarta area and its surroundings at a loss of billions of dollars. Previous studies from seismic tomography and satellite radar imaging hypothesized that the earthquake was caused by activating a so far unknown fault east of the Opak Fault. Although, in the beginning, the Opak fault was suspected to be the source of the Yogyakarta earthquake in 2006. This assumption was made because the damage was maximum in the Bantul area west of the Opak Fault. This study demonstrates that our seismic tomography achieved a higher resolution than the previous study and could resolve a failed complex fault system. We utilized more aftershocks (2170 events) and smaller grid sizes for seismic tomography inversion. Four focal mechanisms from aftershocks for Mw ≥ 4.5 were also conducted to support structure interpretation in the study area. Our results successfully delineate the Opak Fault and the second fault, namely the Ngalang Fault, parallel to the eastern part of the fault at a depth of 9 km. Two faults could be indicated by the velocity contrast of Vp, Vp/Vs ratio, and Vs from a horizontal section tomogram. Our focal mechanisms also support seismic tomography, revealing two fault planes in our study area. The results show that the two faults are connected by the Oyo Fault, which is ruptured in the opposite direction compared to the two faults.

Configuration, furniture layout, and earthquake hazards in campus buildings

Indonesia is the most disaster-prone country in the world because it is geographically located in the ring of fire and tectonic plate confluence. Campus buildings have large occupancy of up to 10,000 students at a time, increasing their vulnerability to disasters. The 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake affected several campuses, such as soft stories and short columns. It is clarified that the movement and shifting of furniture during the earthquake caused 90% of casualties and injuries. This study aims to identify the physical characteristics of the campus in general as well as the potential for earthquake hazards, specifically in the aspects of building configuration and furniture layout. This research was conducted using the campus-watching method that allows the students to identify the risks in the campus building. This research found that the campus buildings in Indonesia generally had an elongated space configuration with O, I, T, L, and U shapes with a ratio of more than 1:2, causing a higher risk of earthquake hazards. The risk of the soft story was identified in the lobby. The short columns in the campus building were formed due to a consecutive halved window-wall application in the classrooms and were observed to be prone to weakening. Using movable furniture, glass partitions, and racks raises the risk during the earthquake. Tables inside the room can be utilized as a temporary safe place during the earthquake. So, it is essential to use sturdy tables and ensure sufficient tables to be used as a temporary shelter during an earthquake.

Impact of natural disasters on mental health and welfare: the case of the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake

This study aims to analyse the impact of the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake on the mental health and welfare of victims in Bantul and to examine whether disasters they experienced before might increase or decrease their mental health when facing indirect exposure to repeated disasters. This study employs several methods: descriptive analysis; logit; a combination of propensity score matching; and difference in differences. The results find that 7 people (1.78%) in 2007 and 31 people (7.89%) in 2014 have experienced symptoms of depression. Age is confirmed as a significant factor in increasing this probability. The results of this study reveal that direct exposure to the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake increased the average mental disorder score and decreased the victims’ education expenditure 1 year after the disaster. The direct exposure to the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake also affected the increase in mental disorder score and decrease in household expenditure of victims 1 year after the disaster, although the effects were insignificant.

Assessing Earthquake-Induced Housing Damage: A Fuzzy Ahp Approach Incorporating Local Parameters and Pga Zoning in the Bantul District, Indonesia

Earthquakes used to cause significant harm, including loss of life and damage to buildings and infrastructure. For example, the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake in Indonesia resulted in widespread devastation, injuries, and extensive damage. In the past, people relied on Seismic Risk Assessment (SRA) to estimate the chances of earthquake-related damage to buildings and infrastructure and the economic losses involved. SRA used vulnerability functions to understand how susceptible buildings were to earthquake damage. Many places and situations used the Hazard United States (HAZUS) system, which had categories like slight, moderate, extensive, and complete damage, to classify building damage. However, there used to be differences in expert opinions about earthquake vulnerability due to variations in their knowledge and experience. Experts often used words like “very high” or “low irregularity” to express their understanding, and they evaluated these factors using qualitative logic. Different approaches were explored in the past to tackle the complexity and uncertainty in the assessment process, including fuzzy logic. The methodology presented in this paper introduced a framework called Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). This framework aimed to assist decision-makers, engineers, and policymakers in choosing the most appropriate category for assessing earthquake-induced housing damage. Four experts with over twenty years of experience in disaster management, earthquake-affected residential housing, and related fields were involved in the research. The goal was to present a method for estimating the Best Nonfuzzy Performance value (BNP) weight based on differences in Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) zoning (green, yellow, and red zones) in the Bantul district. The results showed that slight damage had the highest score in the green zone, while complete damage had the lowest score. Similarly, in the yellow zone, slight damage maintained the highest score, while complete damage received the lowest score. Lastly, moderate damage was identified as the most critical in the red zone, and complete damage had the lowest score. These findings had implications for decision-makers, engineers, and policymakers: 1). Decision-makers could use this information to allocate budgets efficiently for safety measures. 2). Engineers were able to focus on strengthening structures in the green zone for slight damage and allocate more resources to address moderate damage in the red zone. 3). Policymakers had the opportunity to tailor disaster response plans based on the predominant damage state in each zone, allowing them to prioritize evacuations and resource deployment accordingly. This paper provides an overview that needs to be developed by researchers in order to improve the results and offer more effective education.

The Role of Extraversion Personality on Posttraumatic Growth in Victims With Disabilities Due to Earthquakes

The Yogyakarta earthquake in 2006 left many problems, especially for those with disabilities the aftermath earthquake. Posttraumatic growth is an individual’s positive interpretation of negative experiences or feelings. The personality type that is often associated with stress, trauma, and growth events is the extraversion type. The extraversion personality dominates in dealing with traumatic events. This research aimed to find out the roles of extraversion in the posttraumatic growth of survivors with disabilities aftermath earthquake. The subjects were survivors of the Yogyakarta earthquake 2006 (N=51) that suffered upper and lower limbs disability in arms and feet and spinal cord disability. Data were collected using the posttraumatic growth scale and extraversion scale. This study’s data analysis method was simple regression. The results show that extraversion contributes to posttraumatic growth with disabilities aftermath earthquake.

Investigating the Stability of the Candi Kelir using DDA

Candi Kelir, which is a candi in Prambanan, is a historical masonry structures threatened by high potency of earthquake in Indonesia. Investigating the stability of Candi Prambanan is essential for determining the capability to withstand earthquake loads. Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) has been extensively applied in the disciplines of rock mechanics and rock engineering. Two-dimensional DDA is chosen to simulate the behaviour of Candi Kelir towards earthquake load. Geometry of each block of Candi Kelir is obtained by Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP) method. Simulation of Candi Kelir is conducted using the seismic excitation from the destructive 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake. The result of the simulation shows the capability of DDA to simulate the behaviour of masonry structure which allows fully detachment of the blocks. During the earthquake, most of the top structures are failing, thus DDA can simulate and generate the result. Wider application of DDA into the historical masonry structure will be helpful to prevent more damage due to earthquakes.

Analysis of Liquefaction Potential in Solo-Yogyakarta-NYIA Kulon Progo Sta. 16+700 – 22+500

The Solo-Yogyakarta-NYIA Kulon Progo is a National Strategic Project to accelerate the accessibility to New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA). This toll road will pass through Central Java Province and the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. Previous studies have investigated that during the 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake with a moment magnitude, Mw of 6.3, liquefaction was found in some areas in Klaten Regency of Central Java Province. This study aims to determine liquefaction potential in the Solo-Yogyakarta-NYIA Kulon Progo Toll Road Section 1, focusing on stations 16+700 to 22+500, which were located in Klaten Regency. This study first analyzes soil conditions and groundwater depth based on soil investigation data. Analysis of liquefaction potential was found out using Idriss-Boulanger based on Standard Penetration. Parameter of peak ground acceleration using two approaches; probabilistic and deterministic. For probabilistic, the peak ground acceleration using probability of 7% in 75 years and 2% in 50 years. For deterministic using the attenuation function of Campbell and Bozorgnia (2014). Then, the Liquefaction Potential Index was also used to determine the level of liquefaction vulnerability in the study area. The results of liquefaction potential analysis using each approach of peak ground acceleration show the differences in safety factor of liquefaction values. It can be concluded that several sites along the study area have the potential to liquefy at a very low to a very high level, with PGA value at least 0,43 for probability of 2% in 50 years, 0,32 for probability of 7% in 75 years, and 0,36 for deterministic approaches sourced by Opak Fault. Then, the location with the highest liquefaction potential is at stationing 20+550, with LPI values of each approach of 42.91, 33.36, and 34.70.

Harmonizing Seismic Vulnerability Data for Effective Seismic Risk Assessment: Expert Judgment Method and Findings from a Multi-Stakeholder Study in Indonesia

Seismic Risk Management (SRM) is crucial for mitigating the impact of earthquakes, encompassing earthquake preparedness, response planning, building design, and emergency management systems. The 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake in Indonesia resulted in significant loss of life, infrastructure damage, and economic impact, underscoring the importance of Seismic Risk Assessment (SRA) for effective risk reduction. Seismic vulnerability functions are commonly used for SRA, but data collection can be expensive and challenging, and results may be biased due to expert judgment. In Indonesia, variability in house damage state definitions among agencies poses challenges in harmonizing data. This study used expert judgment to harmonize differences in damage state variables resulting from variable references. Data on damage states from five (5) agencies were collected and harmonized through input from earthquake engineering experts via online questionnaires. The resulting data identified five (5) types of damage and reduced variables to nine through harmonization. Twenty (20) experts with diverse backgrounds, including academics, researchers, contractors, consultants, volunteers, and government stakeholders, participated in the study through online questionnaires, and the results were processed and analyzed. The expert judgment method successfully harmonized the differences in damage state variables, ensuring a consistent, reliable, and accurate assessment of building damage, particularly housing damage. The findings of this study underscore the crucial role of expert judgment in harmonizing data for seismic risk assessment. The survey gathered input from experts with diverse backgrounds, including government stakeholders and academics, enriched the study's findings and contributed to a comprehensive understanding of earthquake disaster management. Through expert judgment, the study successfully consolidated variables from different agencies into nine (9) harmonized variables for assessing building damage. Furthermore, experts proposed an additional fourteen (14) factors that need to be considered in residential house damage inspection forms, providing critical information for estimating the extent of damage and informing decisions about repairs or demolition. These variables can be categorized into Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) and observation in more detail, aiding in effective earthquake risk management. However, further validation through comparative literature and field analysis is needed to enhance accuracy and adaptability and explore the potential of incorporating soft computational algorithms in seismic vulnerability assessments as a promising approach.

The Effect of Opak Fault on Liquefaction Potential at Toll Road Construction in Klaten Regency, Central Java

The activity of the Opak Fault on May 27th, 2006, caused a strong earthquake of Mw 6.3, then known as the Yogyakarta Earthquake. Previous studies have shown that several damages during the earthquake were caused by liquefaction. This paper aims to determine potential liquefaction hazards at toll road construction in Klaten Regency, within less than 10 km of the Opak Fault. The liquefaction potential was analyzed from Standard Penetration data using the simplified procedure to determine the safety factor and Liquefaction Potential Index by Iwasaki et al. (1981). In addition, vertical displacement caused by liquefied soil was calculated using the equation developed by Yoshimine et al. (2006). Based on the analysis of the liquefaction potential of 10 boreholes, the results showed that liquefaction occurs at 6 boreholes, with a high to a very high level of liquefaction potential index with a maximum horizontal acceleration of at least 0.46g. The extensive ground surface damage potentially occurs at 2 boreholes, with the vertical settlement of 32.55 cm and 47.02 cm, which occur at the nearest site distance to Opak Fault.

Study of Ground Motion Models Selection to the Concrete Frame Building Damage Probability using the 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake Scenario

Damage probability assessment using the ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) models is paramount in seismic risk analysis. Several GMPE models have been proposed and developed worldwide. However, it has its parameters and gives different spectral acceleration results. The study aimed to investigate the impact of GMPE model selection on the estimation of building damage probability due to the scenario of Yogyakarta earthquake. In the beginning, we modeled the 3D-concrete moment frame building, followed by conducting pushover analysis to determine the building responses and calculating the building damage probability based on HAZUS method to generate fragility curve and damage probability matrix. Five GMPE models were employed in this study. The results revealed that for the modeled structure, the GMPE of Ambraseys et al. (1996) gave the highest value of the peak building response compared to the GMPE of Sadigh et al. (1997), Boore et al. (1997), Spudich et al. (1999) and Idriss (2002). The probability of moderate, extensive, and complete damage levels was also dominated by the GMPE of Ambraseys et al. (1996), which indicated that in this case, the use of this GMPE would produce the most severe damage probability value.

MICROZONING OF HAZARD VULNERABLE USING MICROSEISMIC METHOD WITH HVSR (HORIZONTAL TO VERTICAL SPECTRAL RATIO) ANALYSIS IN BAYAT DISTRICT, KLATEN, INDONESIA

The Yogyakarta earthquake in 2006 caused damage in several areas, especially in the area of Klaten Regency. As a result, many infrastructures, houses, health facilities and casualties have been damaged. The research was conducted with the target of knowing the level of earth's hazard by microzoning soil vulnerability areas in the Bayat District, Klaten, Central Java. This study used the microseismic method with the HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) analysis method. Where are the natural/dominant frequency parameters, natural amplification, and earthquake vulnerability index as measured parameters? This study aims to carry out microzonation of disaster vulnerability risks which are interpreted from the results obtained, namely amplification maps (A0), dominant frequency (f0), earthquake vulnerability (Kg), and shear wave velocity maps at a depth of 30 meters (Vs30). Data acquisition was carried out at 19 measurement points with a spacing between points having a distance of 1-2 km using a portable TDS seismograph. The acquisition results obtained varied values with A0 values 0.9 – 8.8, f0 values 1.0 – 13.8 Hz, Kg values 0.4 – 38.5, and Vs30 values 228.1 – 1635.4 m/s. From these results it can be categorized as zoning regarding the value of the level of disaster vulnerability based on the value of earthquake vulnerability (Kg) obtained to minimize damage and casualties

Readiness level of Muhammadiyah School in Bangun Jiwo Village against earthquake disaster

Yogyakarta is an earthquake-prone area, particularly in the Bantul regency, due to its nearness to volcanic routes. On May 27, 2006, during the Yogyakarta earthquake, it was recorded that 2,900 school buildings were damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the current state of school readiness regarding the earthquake readiness of students, teachers, and school buildings. Muhammadiyah Kasihan and SMK Muhammadiyah Bangun Jiwo were evaluated as Muhammadiyah schools in Bangun Jiwo, Bantul Regency. This study used a questionnaire to determine the preparedness index based on a framework modified by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) in collaboration with UNESCO/ISDR in 2006. Then each parameter was weighted using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Based on the score level evaluation, the results indicated that MTS Muhammadiyah Kasihan had a moderate readiness index with a score of 64.99%. Low school preparedness policies, emergency response plans, and financial resources cause the average MTS preparedness index. Meanwhile, the readiness index of SMK Muhammadiyah Bangunjiwo is in the high category, with a score of 72.15% based on the score level assessment.

EKSPLORASI REKAMAN GEMPA-GEMPA DI INDONESIA DAN KARAKTERISTIK DIRI YANG DINYATAKAN DALAM ACCELERATION BASED SEISMIC INTENSITY MEASURES (SIMs)

Indonesia is a prone country to earthquake hazards. This situation is indicated by the number of earthquakes ranging from small to significant events. However, digital earthquake ground motion data are not available, making it difficult for further research. This paper aims to explore recordings of earthquakes that occurred in Indonesia, which are then presented in digital data and used to identify their damage potential in the form of Seismic Intensity Measures (SIMs). After being traced, it turned out that there were only six earthquakes whose ground acceleration time history was found through the paPers published by researchers. The earthquakes were the Mw 6.2 Yogyakarta (2006), the Mw7.6 Padang (2009), the Mw6.1 Bener Meriah Central Aceh (2013), and the Mw6.5 Pidie Jaya Aceh (2016), the Mw7.5 Palu (2018) and the Mw6.1 Malang (2021) earthquakes. The manual digitization and processing to obtain ground acceleration data every 0.01s time step are required. Eight aspects based on acceleration and two aspects based on response spectrum have been used as parameters for Seismic Intensity Measures SIMs. The exploration results show that the source of the earthquake in Sumatra is still relatively shallow, getting more profound in the Java and Nusa Tenggara subduction. The P.G.A. of the Yogyakarta earthquake is 0.272g with a total duration of more than 50 seconds. In general, according to SNI 1726, 2019, the spectrum has been able to cover all ground acceleration time histories. The Yogyakarta earthquake has the highest Earthquake Power, Arias Intensity, and Potential Destructiveness values, namely PE = 0.255 and IA = 2.201, and P.D. = 0.166.

The Effect of Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption to the Nuclear Installation: A Retrospective on 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake and Merapi Eruption

Earthquake hitting Yogyakarta, Indonesia on May 27th, 2006 that was followed by volcanic eruption of Mount Merapi had been pronounced as one of the most severe natural disasters ever occurred in the national history alongside the Tsunami happened in Aceh, Indonesia on 2004. The earthquake was caused by the activity of Opak faults which is located only ± 7 km away from Kartini nuclear reactor in the Yogyakarta province, Indonesia. This study aims to emphasize on the importance of disaster management mitigation to reduce the potential risk in future possibilities of natural disaster reoccurrence. It was concluded that retrofitting on the nuclear installation setup to withstand earthquake and volcanic eruption along with increasing people awareness and preparedness by arranging trainings on emergency response periodically are of great necessities to reduce the risk in time of disaster. Other than that, this work also described about the community service activities done by Indonesian National Nuclear Agency to help with the community revival post disasters.

Impacts of negative shocks on wellbeing and aspirations – Evidence from an earthquake

While the influence of adverse shocks on objective measures of wellbeing has been researched in economics, little evidence exists on the effects of shocks like natural disasters on subjective wellbeing and aspirations. The paper examines the causal links between an adverse shock, the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake in Indonesia, and a range of subjective wellbeing outcomes and aspirations. We combine a household survey panel dataset along with the ground shaking activity (Modified Mercalli Intensity) recorded by the United States Geological Survey. The panel data comprises of self-reported measures on current wellbeing, aspirations about future wellbeing, quality of life, and happiness before and after the earthquake. The results reveal robust evidence that the disaster led to large and significant reductions in subjective wellbeing (including those related to children) and future aspirations. Using a follow-up round of data, we find that such declines in wellbeing persisted years after the disaster, calling into policy action encompassing both material and emotional wellbeing that is crucial for post-disaster revival.

The Implementation of Disaster Mitigation based on Qur’anic Interpretation: Muhammadiyah Case Study

Most Indonesian’s live in vulnerable areas. Various kinds of disasters come alternately with the victims of property and humans. However, there are some people who feel that the disaster is a punishment. This leads to preventive measures or disaster mitigation that are carried out to reduce casualties not to be done, except the appeal not to sin. Muhammadiyah is one of the Islamic organizations that have concerns about disaster mitigation. This research reveals how Muhammadiyah's perspective on disaster mitigation is. How is the initiation done for the objectivation of mitigation disaster? In addition, see the form of the program carried out as a form of internalization of disaster mitigation in Muhammadiyah. This research is qualitative research using two approaches, namely living Qur'an and phenomenology. The construction of Muhammadiyah's positive understanding of disasters and disaster mitigation stems from the study of two groups of Qur'anic verses, First, on causality, which is to fully understand why a disaster occurs. Verses studied include az-Zumar (39):9; an-Naml (27):88; Ghafir (41:21). Second, man's role as caliph governs the universe. Verses studied include az-Zumar (39):18; al-Hashim (59:18); al-Ahzab (33:72); and al-Qasas (28:77). The initiation of disaster mitigation was carried out by Muhammadiyah after the tsunami in Aceh in 2004 and strengthened after the great earthquake in Yogyakarta in 2006. Its main programs are fostering Disaster Resilient Communities, Disaster Safe Schools, and Disaster Safe Hospitals. A positive view of disasters, a friendly attitude with nature based on science. In addition, preventive disaster mitigation measures are the findings of this study. These three attitudes need to be socialized to Indonesian people who live in vulnerable areas.
