Abstract

Bandung City, located in West Java, Indonesia, faces a high risk of earthquake disasters due to its proximity to the Lembang Fault. This active shear fault contributes to the vulnerability of the area to earthquakes because of its unstable fault activity. However, it is important to note that despite this seismic risk, earthquake disasters are not considered a determining factor for land valuation according to the competent authority and the issuance of the Land Value Zone (ZNT) Map. To better understand the variables affecting land value in Bandung City as an Earthquake-Prone Area, this study employed a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach known as Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE). The study aimed to model a Land Value Estimation Map by considering four categories of factors: Social Factors, Economic Factors, Government Factors, and Physical Factors. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the study assessed land value based on expert opinions gathered through a questionnaire targeting professionals in cadastral, land, and tax assessment. Based on the results, the models which consider the Earthquake-Disaster aspect have lower land values than the actual field circumstances. This finding suggests that the high risk of earthquakes does not significantly impact the market value of land in Bandung City.
