Abstract

Ambon City is one of the most landslide-prone areas in Maluku Province. This study aims to analyze the potential for ground motion in Ambon City, Indonesia, by considering rock types and distance from active faults. This research uses geological data and distance from faults, which are then analyzed using the spatial overlay method. The results showed that the area with high potential for land movement disasters is 8,347.14 ha, medium is 12,157.24 ha, and low is 12,069.09 ha. The predicted built-up area affected in the low class is 2,296.23 ha, in the medium class is 1,470.58 ha, and in the high class is 672.36 ha. These findings highlight the need for special attention to areas with high ground motion potential, as well as the importance of effective mitigation strategies to protect infrastructure and communities. This research is expected to provide useful insights for spatial planning and disaster risk management in Ambon City.
