<![CDATA[This article discusses the development of various approaches and methods to earthquakes. The study was conducted through a qualitative approach based on secondary data from articles, reports, books obtained from internet media. The validity of the data was checked through triangulation of sources and methods. The results of the study found that knowledge about earthquakes was multidisciplinary involving the fields of philosophy, engineering, sociology, economics, health, education and disaster management. Prior to the 16th century, knowledge about earthquakes came from experience, myth, belief, philosophy and religion. The science of earthquakes in a modern scientific approach began to develop since the 16th century, the beginning of the 19th century industrialization era until now. The view of modern science has made various advances in revealing the mechanical side of earthquakes, as well as other complementary aspects of socio-cultural, economic, health, educational and management. Research is conducted through cross- disciplinary quantitative and qualitative approaches, such as through phenomenology studies, ethnography, history, case studies, experiments, surveys. This article recommends the need for a holistic approach through an interdisciplinary systems approach in developing knowledge about earthquakes.]]>
