Abstract

This paper presents the recent efforts in Indonesia to mitigate the impacts of earthquake hazards. The actions includes as follows: updating of the seismic hazard maps of Indonesia 2010 and 2016; revision and continuous updating of building and infrastructure design codes; development of microzonation maps for big cities in Indonesia; development of academic draft of Indonesian Earthquake Master Plan; development of design guidelines for tsunami vertical evacuation; development of a national design code for geotechnics and earthquake; and establishment of the national center for earthquake studies. Revision of seismic hazard maps for Indonesia 2010 has been developed based upon updated: seismotectonic data, fault models, and GMPEs up to 2010. The updating of infrastructure design codes related to earthquakes activities are being performed for buildings, bridges, dams, harbors and others special structures. The development of microzonation map of seismic risk has been initiated for Jakarta city. The academic draft for Indonesian earthquake master plan has been prepared based on assessment from several aspects, i.e. basic sciences, engineering and risk analysis, and social and legal aspects. The guidelines for tsunami evacuation had been finished and submitted to BNPB in 2013. Lastly, the Indonesia National Research Center for Earthquake has been initiated in June 2016.
