      Chandra Widya Kurniawan, Y Yatini, Sigit Pramono
Abstract: The earthquake occurred on September 28, 2018 in Palu area of Central Sulawesi with a magnitude of 7,5 and made the surface of the soil saturated with water, shaken to become liquefaction. The purpose of this study is to acquire the microzonation parameters and identify locations that are considered the potential for liquefaction, use 54 measurement points in Palu City. The distribution of T0 values with high criteria (0.6 - 1.718) seconds is dominant in the northern, central, and southern parts of Palu City, indicated by the characteristics of soft soils. The distribution of soil vulnerability values obtained minimum of 0.047 and maximum of 29.188 with high criteria located in the northern and central parts of Palu City, illustrating areas that are more susceptible to earthquake shocks. The highest PGA value in Palu City is 2534 gal which shows that the damage to buildings in Palu City is very high. The result of GSS with a range of minimum is 0,7 x 10-4 and maximum of 3 x 10-4. The distribution of high (GSS > 100 x 10-4) indicate the area has a high shifting of the soil and tends not to be able to maintain its position, the soil is damaged and potentially liquefaction. The potential liquefaction area in Palu that needs to be watched out is Baru, Besusu, Bayaoge, Nunu, Siranindi, Kamonji, Silae, Lare, Talise, Kebonena Districts.
