Abstract

Lombok Island exhibits high seismicity driven by the complex interaction between the subduction of the Indo-Australian plate beneath the Eurasian plate and the activity of the Flores Back-arc Thrust. In seismic hazard mitigation, the Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) technique is a fundamental tool for estimating site effects. However, the validity of parameters derived from ambient noise (MHVSR) versus earthquake records (EHVSR) remains a subject of geophysical debate, particularly in regions with high structural heterogeneity. This research evaluates the reliability of resonance frequency (f0) and amplification factor (A0) by conducting a direct comparison between MHVSR and EHVSR datasets. Seismic data from seven BMKG stations across Lombok were meticulously selected and processed. The analysis involved windowing and the application of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to transition raw waveforms into the frequency domain, allowing for the extraction of stable HVSR spectral curves. The findings reveal a robust correlation between microtremor and earthquake-derived HVSR, with on f0 (r = 0.9954, σ = 0.301) and A0 (r = 0.9232, σ = 0.75). Observed minor discrepancies are likely the result of local lithological conditions, wave attenuation, and source-dependent variations such as magnitude or hypocentral distance. Ultimately, this study confirms that ambient vibration HVSR provides dependable estimates of site resonance parameters, aligning with earthquake records within tolerable error margins. These results strengthen the case for microtremor investigations as a reliable, non-invasive method for local seismic hazard evaluation. Such findings are vital for refining seismic hazard mitigation and enhancing urban resilience planning in seismically active zones like Lombok island.

Abstract

The Matano Fault, with a slip rate of ~ 20 mm/year, is the most active strike-slip fault in Sulawesi after the Palu-Koro Fault. As a result, this region exhibits a high level of seismicity. Unfortunately, a number of studies that have been conducted only involve a less dense network of stations and global velocity models. This study aims to obtain an optimum velocity model using the VELEST program, which reliably represents the actual condition of the study area. The data used in this study consists of hypocenter, origin times, and P-wave arrival times from earthquakes (Mw ≥ 3), each containing at least six clearly identified P-wave phases. These data were obtained from 317 events that occurred within the region bounded by 120.10°E – 122.20°E and 2.99°S – 1.66°S during the period from January 2022 to March 2025. To determine the optimum 1-D velocity model, four initial models were tested, namely Koulakov, Arimuko, Crust, and Bunaga. These models were evaluated based on RMS, the stability test of the updated velocity model, uncertainty assessment using bootstrap test, and their consistency with previous studies. The evaluation results indicate that the Arimuko Model is the most reliable, as it provides the lowest RMS value, stable hypocenter relocations (±6–7 km), bootstrap results showing narrow uncertainty intervals, and consistency with earlier studies that identified a low-velocity zone at depths of 0–3 km. The result of this study is expected to serve as a reference for earthquake relocation and seismicity analysis at the Matano Fault Zone.
