Calamity: A Journal of Disaster Technology and Engineering
ISSN : -     EISSN : 30254140     DOI : -
Calamity: A Journal of Disaster Technology and Engineering focuses on unique research on all facets of natural hazards, such as the prediction of catastrophic events, risk management, and the nature of natural and manmade hazard precursors. The effects on the environment are equally disastrous even if risks might come from a variety of sources and systems, including atmospheric, hydrologic, oceanographic, volcanologic, seismic, and neotectonic. This calls for tight collaboration between many scientific and operational disciplines in order to improve risk reduction. Risk assessment is included in the coverage of hazards in the atmospheric, climatological, oceanographic, storm surge, tsunami, flood, snow, avalanche, landslide, erosion, volcanic, man-made, and technology categories.

Abstract

Background: Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural hazards, causing not only structural damage and loss of life but also long-term environmental degradation and vegetation decline. The ecological dimension of seismic vulnerability has often been overlooked in spatial studies, particularly in tropical regions. This research aims to assess environmental vulnerability to earthquakes based on vegetation conditions along the Opak Fault in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods: The study employs a quantitative–spatial approach using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze vegetation coverage within three buffer zones at radii of 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km from the active fault line. Secondary data from the Geospatial Information Agency (BIG) and PVMBG were processed to calculate the Environmental Vulnerability Index (EVI) using the ratio of vegetated area to total buffer area, expressed as a percentage. Findings: Results indicate that vulnerability decreases with distance from the fault: 49% (high) for 0–2 km, 45% (high) for 2–5 km, and 40% (moderate) for 5–10 km. The innermost zones, dominated by irrigated rice fields on saturated alluvial soils, exhibit the highest susceptibility to liquefaction and ground shaking. In contrast, areas with greater forest cover show higher ecological resilience. Conclusion: The findings underscore the need to integrate vegetation-based management and Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) strategies into local spatial planning to strengthen environmental resilience in seismically active regions. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely combines GIS-based spatial analysis with vegetation data to assess earthquake vulnerability, highlighting ecological factors often overlooked in seismic risk assessments and informing ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction strategies.

Abstract

Background: This study investigates the geotechnical characteristics and seismic response of soils in the Quarry Barbate–Paya Kameng area, Blang Bintang District, Aceh Besar, which lies near the active Seulimum Fault. The research aims to analyze soil behavior under seismic influences through laboratory testing and theoretical calculations. Laboratory tests included determining water content, specific gravity, grain size distribution, and Atterberg limits to classify soil types and evaluate their physical properties. The study also analyzed earthquake acceleration and uplift forces to assess the dynamic response of the soil. Methods: Soil samples were collected from a depth of 10 meters and analyzed for moisture content, specific gravity, particle size distribution, and Atterberg limits to determine their geotechnical properties. Earthquake-induced ground acceleration and uplift forces were then calculated to assess soil behavior under seismic loading. All tests followed standard ASTM procedures to ensure reliable and comparable results. Findings: Results showed that the soil has an average specific gravity of 2.619 and a plasticity index of 38.42%, indicating a highly plastic clay (CH) with low shear strength and high swelling potential. The maximum ground acceleration reached 0.00236 g, while uplift force increased from 0.82 kg to 7.47 kg over 96 hours, suggesting rising pore-water pressure that can reduce effective stress and stability. Conclusion: The findings emphasize the importance of integrating geotechnical results into spatial planning and disaster mitigation policies. This study provides novel insights into linking soil mechanics and seismic risk assessment for infrastructure resilience in earthquake-prone zones. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides novel insights by integrating laboratory-based geotechnical analysis with seismic response modeling to evaluate soil behavior near an active fault, offering practical guidance for infrastructure resilience and disaster mitigation in earthquake-prone areas.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is prone to earthquakes because it is located at the meeting point of tectonic plates, resulting in many coastal areas having a high risk of disaster. Earthquakes not only cause physical damage but also have a long-term impact on the psychological and social conditions of the community. Therefore, community resilience is an important factor in reducing disaster risk and supporting the post-disaster recovery process. This study aims to examine the concept of community resilience in facing earthquakes and the factors that influence it. Methods: This scientific paper uses a literature review method by examining accredited scientific journals, disaster textbooks, official agency reports, and relevant laws and regulations. Findings: The results of the study show that community resilience to earthquakes is shaped by the integration of social, economic, physical and infrastructure aspects, human resources, and the environment. Social aspects and social capital play an important role in accelerating post-disaster response and recovery, while economic capacity and infrastructure quality determine the community's ability to absorb the impact of disasters. These findings are in line with resilience theory, which emphasizes adaptive capacity and collective engagement as key factors in community resilience. Conclusion: Community resilience to earthquakes is built through the integration of social, economic, physical, human resource, and environmental aspects that reinforce each other. Strengthening the adaptive capacity of communities in an integrated manner is key to reducing the impact of disasters and supporting post-disaster recovery and sustainability. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in its comprehensive conceptual synthesis of community resilience to earthquake disasters by integrating social, economic, physical, human resource, and ecological perspectives into a single framework of discussion.
