Abstract

Bengkulu city including tsunami-prone areas. This study aims to calculate the level of tsunami hazard in the Bengkulu city. The risk level is calculated based on the height from sea level (h), the distance from the shoreline (x), distance from the nearest river (s), the condition of geomorphology (k), the number of buildings per square kilometer (p), and the value of the peak ground acceleration (a). All variables are measured with the rules of research. Tsunami will continue to be a threat in earthquake prone areas. Threats region more concentrated along the coast and moves upstream as far as 10 kilometers. Tsunami threat is more factual determined by height, distance from the shoreline, distance from the nearest river, and peak ground acceleration. The correlation between tsunami potential score with each variable tends to be linear.
