The island of Sumatra is characterized by three tectonic systems, which are sequentially from west to east consisting of an oblique subduction zone with gentle subduction angles, the Mentawai fault, and the Sumatran large fault zone (Semangko fault). These three tectonic systems have caused high seismic activity and have implications for ground movement (Peak Ground Acceleration). This research calculates the PGA value using the Donovan model based on historical data from 100 years of destructive earthquakes. The results of this calculation are mapped and obtained results that have similarities with the tectonic system, where the west coast is a high-risk area for ground movement. The model gives PGA results in the range 8.5508 – 368.1172 gal with a minimum value of 3.295° N, 95.982° E caused by earthquake 9.1 SR, Andaman Island. The maximum value is at 4.436° S, 101.076° E caused by earthquake 5.2 SR, Bengkulu. In general, this map provides an overview of the risk of land movement on the island of Sumatra and can be used for land movement disaster mitigation efforts.

This research was conducted to determine and mapping the value of the PGA in Indonesian territory using two empirical models of attenuation equations from the transition of the second generation to the third generation. The research was conducted by applying the Frisenda’s and Luzi’s. The calculation is based on a catalog of earthquakes that occurred from 1 January 1970 - 31 December 2020 with a variable earthquake magnitude ≥ 5 SR and hypocentre depth ≤ 60 km (destructive earthquake). The calculation results in the maximum value of PGA respectively 0.6613 g for Frisenda, and 12.257 g in the Luzi. The maximum PGA value in Luzi model is the effects of the Andaman Islands earthquake on December 26th, 2004, with a magnitude of 9,1 SR, and the maximum PGA value in the Frisenda model is the effects of the Flying Fish Cove, Christmas Island earthquake on June 13th, 2013, with the magnitude 6.7 SR. In general, these two maps show different or even opposite patterns.
