Tsunami which was generated by the 2004 Aceh eartquake has beenhaunting our life. The building damage due to the tsunami could be seenthroughout Meulaboh Coastal Area. Appearing of the physical loss wasclose to our fault. It was caused by the use dan plan of the land withoutconsidering a tsunami disaster threat. Learning from that event, we haveconducted a research on the pattern of damage that caused by the 2004tsunami. Based on the analysis of tsunami hazard intensity and thepattern of building damage, it has been made a landuse planning whichbased on tsunami mitigation for Meulaboh. Tsunami mitigation-based ofMeulaboh landuse planning was made by intergrating some aspects, suchas tsunami protection using pandanus greenbelt, embankment along withhigh plants and also arranging the direction of roads and setting of building forming a rhombus-shaped. The rhombus-shaped of setting of the road and building would reduce the impact of tsunamic wave. It is expected that these all comprehensive landuse planning will minimize potential losses in the future .

Land order in an urban area that is not based on complete and reasonable spatial information an cause an unintegrated development program. Therefore, spatial information that can analyze the information to make a decision of land order is greatly needed. To present the most reasonable physical data of the urban can use the data of remote sensing as a main source, because the data an present not only a high temporal resolution, but also a complete object. Along with the advance of computer-based GIS, the data of remote sensing can be integrated with GIS. In addition, the data sharing can be used in various sectors. Thus, both updating and mutual exchanging of data can be done easly.

An overview of environmental consequences resulting due to earthquake phenomena in various parts of India, is presented. The prominent characteristics of major earthquake operations as well as the damages caused to environmental regime and human population are enumerated. The problems of earthquake prediction and control are also discussed. Prediction of hazardous earthquake activity can be made on the different criteria such as: seismicity pattern preceding large earthquake, recurrence intervals of earthquake events, dilatancy phenomena of high strain zone, changes in groundwater levels and composition and anomalous animal behaviour. However, precise technique for short term prediction is still to be evolved. Earthquake disasters can be reduced to some extent by adopting adequate remedial measures before, during and after the activity. It is opined that the environmental awareness should be exercised to educate people regarding the defensive operations to protect themselves from adverse effects of earthquakes. The appropriate steps such as schemes of landuse planning, regulation of structural design, and provisions of earthquake insurance programmes may be considered for implementation on priority.

Meandering rivers have a number of features that differentiate them from rectilinear and anastomosing channels, such as the rapid change of course, which is the result of continuous adjustments of hydro-sedimentary factors. Studying these changes helps to inform on the potential future changes, and generates valuable data for landuse planning. This study aims to identify the morphological changes in the lower Correntes River between 1984 and 2016, and generate information that is currently scarce about the watershed. A temporal analysis of migrating meanders using remote sensing, literature search, and field work was conducted. This river is highly mobile with lateral and downstream migration, exhibiting a rectilinear channel tendency as shown by the decreased sinuosity between 1984 and 2016. This trend reflects channel adjustment in relation to hydro-sedimentary factors. Because the upstream hydroelectric dam retained sediment and enhanced flow velocity, erosion and meander migration increased. In addition to the channel modification, the dam caused observable changes to the river stage and discharge
