Investigation of Earthquake Disaster Risk Using ArcGis Satellite Imagery Study Case in North Tapanuli Regency

Abstract Earthquakes are one of the natural phenomena that occur surprisingly without any signs or symptoms that can be felt by humans, so that generally earthquakes cause tremendous panic. Tectonic earthquakes from faults generate a Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) value, which helps assess their risk impact. North Tapanuli Regency is one of the districts in Indonesia that is passed by two faults, namely Renun and Toru. To determine the risk of earthquake disasters in the area, calculations are carried out using spatial methods to obtain values of PGA, M max , and T max values. From the processing results, it is known that the maximum magnitude of the Toru segment is 7.37 M and the Renun segment is 7.69 M, and the Toru segment has a maximum earthquake return period in the Toru segment of 429 years and the renun segment has a return period of 1013 years. Also, a disaster mitigation map is obtained that is formed using the PGA value as a parameter, with an explanation that areas that have a higher PGA value (colored red) have a greater risk of being affected by an earthquake.
