Earthquake-Tsunami in South Jogjakarta Indonesia: Potential, Simulation Models, and Related Mitigation Efforts

The potential of earthquake-tsunami in South Java is lower than those in South-West of Sumatra. The recent earthquake-tsunami in this area was the “tsunami earthquake” with the relatively slow characteristics of the earthquake and generating greater tsunami. The results of model simulations with limited scenario in South Java showed a significant tsunami affected southern of Jogjakarta’s coastal region. To support disaster mitigation and planning of infrastructure development in the southern coastal areas, it is necessary to study the potential earthquake-tsunami disaster and its mitigation efforts using detail and accurate topographicbathymetric data.
