Abstract: Banda Aceh can be categorized as an earthquake-prone city because of the existence of two active segments namely Seulimeum and Aceh. Both segments are considered to provide great potential damage in the future. In this article, we conduct a microtremor survey in the Peukan Bada, sub-part of Banda Aceh city, to learn the vulnerability level and support disaster mitigation plan. A total of 20 sites were measured with a seismometer to record the seismic waveform. The waveform was recorded in 45 minutes with a sampling rate of 100 sps and has analyzed using the horizontal-vertical spectrum ratio (HVSR). The results obtained are the dominant parameters, such as the period with a range of 0 – 0.5s, frequency with a range of 0 – 6 Hz, seismicity vulnerability index with a range of 0.1 – 0.5. The result was relevant to the geological conditions of Peukan Bada that dominated by alluvial rocks and mud sediments. The level of vulnerability (Kg > 1.0) obtained is quite high and proportional to the soil type that can amplify the seismic waveform. The results obtained are expected to be a supporting study of disaster mitigation and understand the geological conditions of Banda Aceh in terms of seismic vulnerability.Abstrak: Banda Aceh dapat dikategorikan sebagai kota rawan gempa karena adanya dua segmen aktif yaitu Seulimeum dan Aceh. Kedua segmen tersebut bisa memberikan potensi kerusakan yang besar di masa mendatang. Pada tulisan ini, kami melakukan survei mikrotremor di Kecamatan Peukan Bada, salah satu sub-wilayah kota Banda Aceh, untuk mempelajari tingkat kerentanan dan mendukung rencana mitigasi bencana. Sebanyak 20 lokasi diukur dengan seismometer untuk merekam bentuk gelombang seismik. Gelombang direkam selama 45 menit dengan jumlah sampel 100 sps dan dianalisis menggunakan horizontal-vertical spectrum ratio (HVSR). Hasil yang diperoleh adalah parameter yang dominan yaitu periode dengan rentang 0 – 0,5s, frekuensi dengan range 0 - 6 Hz, indeks kerentanan kegempaan dengan rentang 0,1 – 0,5. Hasil tersebut relevan dengan kondisi geologi Peukan Bada yang didominasi oleh batuan aluvial dan endapan lumpur. Tingkat kerentanan (Kg > 1,0) yang diperoleh cukup tinggi dan sebanding dengan jenis tanah yang dapat memperbesar gelombang seismik. Hasil yang diperoleh diharapkan dapat menjadi pendukung kajian mitigasi bencana dan memahami kondisi geologi Banda Aceh dari segi kerentanan seismik.

Microtremor is a weak vibration on the surface of the earth that takes place continuously due to sources of vibration such as earthquakes, human activities, industry and traffic (Daryono, 2009). Microtremor data measured obtained 3 signals whose components are vertical (Up and Down), horizontal (North-South), and horizontal (East-West) components. After the signal is obtained it can then be analyzed using the HVSR method and the dominant frequency and amplification values are obtained. The HVSR method compares the spectrum ratio of the horizontal component microtremor signal to its vertical component (Nakamura, 1989). Lhokseumawe City is administratively included in the Province of Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD). In 2004 there was an earthquake of magnitude 9.2 on the Richter Scale in the southern waters of the city of Banda Aceh, which caused a devastating Tsunami. In this event many people lost about 250 thousand lives and lost property that is not small in number (Logan, 2014) Due to the active regional tectonic pattern, the NAD region is a disaster-prone region. The tectonic area of NAD is strongly influenced by the subduction area between the Indian-Australian oceanic plate (Indian Australian Plate) against the European-Asian continental plate (Eurasian plate). The tectonic pattern greatly influences the geological conditions in the waters of the study area. The purpose of this research is to provide preliminary knowledge in the use of microtremors for mapping seismic microzonation. This microzonation mapping is needed for earthquake disaster mitigation purposes, microtremor data analysis can provide information on the value of a place that is very important for earthquake resistant building planning. Building structures that have the same value as the land value will experience resonance in the event of an earthquake. Then the last is the Seismic Vulnerability Index Mapping which is useful for predicting unconsolidated sediment zones at the ground surface when an earthquake occurs, so that further studies for earthquake prone areas can be carried out. The stages of the research method carried out are measuring field data which is divided into several measurement points in each district in the city of Lhokseumawe. At each measurement point, a three-component seismometer is installed to obtain the results of the soil’s vulnerability in the area. Each measurement data is observed for 30 minutes at each point. The results of this study are the existence of areas that are very susceptible to seismic namely Ujung blang and Banda Sakti villages with seismic vulnerability index values (Kg) ranging from 0 cm/s2 -30542.32 cm/s2 The highest value is located at Ujong Blang villages which is 10397.1 cm/s2 This is closely related to the total amount of damage to buildings in Lhokseumawe City due to the 2004 earthquake.

North Bengkulu district has an area prone to earthquakes, because this area is very closed to the Sumatra subduction zone to the Eurasian tectonic plate. Coastal area in this region is experiencing with the very fast erosion. This is thought to have relation with earthquake-prone zones. This study aims to find the relationship between Ground Shear Strain (GSS) and rate of erosion in the coastal area of North Bengkulu. The data of coastal erosion rate was obtained by overlaying shoreline in 1947 and 2012. The GSS can be obtained by multiplying Seismic Vulnerability Index (SVI) and Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) values around the shoreline. Seismic Vulnerability Index was obtained by processing microseismic data acquired using three component in short period of seismometers. The PGA was obtained from the historical earthquake and calculated by using Fukushima-Tanaka equation. The results show that the value of GSS varies between 0.0001 to 0.0055, and the SVI values is ranging from 1.2 to 16.1. In addition, we estimated that PGA value is 92 to 120 and the rate of erosion between 3.6 up to 5.8 m/yr. GSS value for each type of coastal is 0.00046 for the fine sandy beach flat, 0.0043 for flat coastal muddy, 0.0001 for flat rocky beaches, 0.0006 for sandy beaches to rugged, 0.0003 for steep rocky lava beach, 0.0014 for steep rocky coast of for clay, 0.0011 for bertufa steep sandy beach stones, and 0.0014 for the steep rocky shore tuffaceous clay. It is found that the GSS value depends on the type of coastal. In this case, flat coastal muddy show highest effect on the GSS. Both SVI and GSS can be estimated to be a quadratic relation to the erosion rate.
