the identification of natural hazard prone areas for future planning requires an efficient decision support tool to provide the appropriate weights for the various topographical, geological, and seismological factors responsible for the expected hazards. in the present study, an analytical hierarchy process (ahp) with six earthquake hazard parameters (ehps) was used as a decision support system...

Abstract Background Microzonation becomes important for big cities like Medan (North Sumatra, Indonesia) as population agglomeration increases in urban areas resulting rapid and unplanned construction. Mitigation efforts must be carried out to minimize losses arising from earthquakes, such loss of life environmental damage, it can done by analyzing seismic susceptibility local site effects. Pur...
