Abstract An area has liquefaction potential when it has a shallow groundwater level, loose sandy soil, and is prone to earthquakes. There are several areas with such criteria that have not been analysed for liquefaction potential. This study aims to analyse and plot the liquefaction potential in the coastal area of Loh Buaya, Rinca Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Soil investigation data, such as SPT, sieve analysis, and groundwater level, as well as earthquake history that occurred from 1922-2022, served as the main data for liquefaction potential analyses. The methods used were Ground Motion Equation Prediction (GMPE) to calculate Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Simplified Procedure, and Liquefaction Severity Index (LSI) to make a liquefaction hazard assessment. LSI scores were used to provide micro-zonation of liquefaction potential with Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation in QGIS. The result obtained is very dense gravel has no liquefaction potential whereas loose sandy soil has very high in LSI classification because loose sandy soil has liquefaction potential up to 20 meters of depth. The applying of micro-zonation LSI by IDW interpolation method can estimate the potential level of liquefaction hazard on Loh Buaya, Rinca Island with limited soil investigation data.
