Abstract

South Sulawesi is one of the provinces in Indonesia with highest economic growth index. This situation gives an impact to the intensive infrastructure development including road access, bridge, dam, airport, seaport and other public facilities in the province. However, due to geological complexity of the region, the infrastructures developments are threatened by natural hazard especially earthquake, landslide, tsunami and flooding. The occurrences of these natural hazards are regionally controlled by geological condition including geomorphology, stratigraphy and structure geology. Therefore, in order to mitigate these natural hazards, geological consideration should be taken into account in natural hazard mitigation scheme. This study outlines the model for natural hazard mitigation in South Sulawesi using geological consideration of the region.
