The complex tectonic in the West Papua region causes high levels of seismicity so that it has potential to sustained major damage during strong vibrations or earthquakes. The role of the study of the characteristics of the subsurface layer such as the microtremor method based on the nature of the ground motion is very important as a disaster mitigation step or in infrastructure development planning. In this study, two important parameters in the microtremor data, namely the dominant frequency and soil amplification which are useful in estimating soil characteristics, are used to analyze and mapping the distribution of seismic susceptibility index zones (ð¾ð), maximum soil acceleration (PGA), ðð 30 and Ground Shear Strain in sediments layer in the “SA” study area, West Papua. The results showed that the research area was dominated by a thick layer of alluvial sediment with soft to medium soil characteristics. The value of the seismic vulnerability index is relatively low in this area, which is between 0.8 - 14.1 which is classified as an area that is not too vulnerable to seismic activity or small damage potential. In addition, the maximum ground acceleration value of the study area is 149 – 771 gal which belongs to the category of earthquake intensity III to V, i.e. mild to severe damage with elasto-plastic soil dynamic properties which can cause crack in the soil layer.
