Seismic vulnerability based on microtremor data and HVSR method in Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar

Geology Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar is formed from thick sediment and hard rock consisting of young alluvium and volcanic rock. The study area is characterized by the Seulimeum fault which is recently very active in generating earthquakes. This study aims to analyze microtremor data to determine the value of the seismic vulnerability index in the Krueng Raya area, Aceh Besar. Data acquisition was carried out at 20 measurement points located across the Mesjid Raya District. The data were analyzed using the Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method. Based on the dominant frequency value and the amplification value, the seismic vulnerability index value in the Krueng Raya area ranges from 0.20 to 12.92 which is categorized as low to moderate. Areas that have low seismic vulnerability index values are in the villages of Lamreh. Areas with a moderate seismic vulnerability index value are Meunasah Kulam Village, and Paya Kameng Village.
