Seismic microzonation based on microseismic data and damage distribution of 2006 Yogyakarta Earthquake

The 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake caused an extensive damage to various areas of Yogyakarta regions. The damage distribution indicates the role of local site effects during the earthquake as the damage extended from Bantul Regency in Yogyakarta Province to Klaten Regency in Central Java. Microzonation based on the damage distribution is then carried out using Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) technique. From this technique, amplification factor and predominant frequency can be obtained and then spatially mapped. Inversion can also be conducted to the HVSR curves to infer the geological condition of the study area
