| 总结: | To decrease the impact of an earthquake, it is critical to analyse the risk by assessing the hazard and vulnerability ahead of time. The goal of this study is to examine the seismic susceptibility of the Bukit Tinggi area and then categorise it based on the degree of risk. Eleven indicators belonging to different group parameters were used in this study. Final seismic vulnerability maps of the Bukit Tinggi area demonstrate a pattern of vulnerability degree with 12% of the area designated as very low vulnerability, 26% as low vulnerability, 35% as moderate vulnerability, 25% as high vulnerability and 7% as very high vulnerability. The findings of this research provide preliminary information on the seismic risk in the study region which may be useful to stakeholders in developing mitigation methods and risk-informed development plans for Bukit Tinggi's community resilience. |
