Development of Earthquake Disaster Management System in Bantul: Preliminary Study on Infrastructures Damages

Abstract eng:
The earthquake of 6.3 MW scale in Yogyakarta and Central Java on May 27, 2006, caused 5,800 death, injuring around 38,000 and robbed hundreds of thousands of residential buildings. Right after the devastation emergency response procedures, reconstruction and recovery programs were undertaken. This paper presents the study of development of disaster management system, which currently becomes an important issue in Indonesia, to provide data and information for the governmental rehabilitation programs after the earthquake, especially for infrastructure damages. The benefit of the system is to assist the government in managing regional society and infrastructure development after the disaster. The system has been developed based on the Taiwan Earthquake Loss Estimation System (TELES), integrating research accomplishments on seismic hazard analysis, structural damage assessments and socio-economic impacts as developed by the Chinese Taiwan Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE). The system has been used for decision-making support system and it is proposed to be part of the completed system of disaster management in Bantul, Indonesia.
