This research aims to enhance earthquake hazard assessment by modeling shallow earthquake risks in Southern Sumatra and West Java.
Developed an integrated seismicity rate model using declustered earthquake data from 1963 to 2022.
Analyzed the probability of exceedance for earthquakes with magnitudes up to 6.5 and depths up to 50 km.
Mapped known active faults and historical seismic activity using advanced statistical techniques.
The new model provides a more precise depiction of shallow earthquake risks.
Identified high-risk areas, especially near unmapped faults, allowing for better urban planning.
Proposed framework supports sustainable investment in community resilience and infrastructure reinforcement.

Randomized trial demonstrates a new seismicity rate model in densely populated areas, suggesting better hazard assessment.

Triyoso et al. (2026) studied this question.
