Abstract

For almost 33years, Sulawesi Island which is surrounded by several small and big tectonic plates had been struck 270 times by earthquake above 5.0 in magnitude. This number of occurrence tends to get higher and higher each year, beginning after the raising activity of Sunda Arc past last ten years, which recently struck Padang, West Sumatera in September 2009. It also risen the possibility of future earthquake-generated tsunami that can be devastated for several beach cities on Sulawesi Island. The goal of this study is to find out the most suitable mitigation plan for the beach of Seruni Bantaeng, South Sulawesi Province. The study includes the analyse of the historical data of earthquakes and tsunami at the areas and also based on the fault system on it, modelling the future tsunami near Bantaeng, modelling the mitigation schemes available, and produce a mitigation manual for future tsunami of Bantaeng District, especially the beach of Seruni.
