A Framework of Systematic Land Use Vulnerability Modeling Based on Seismic Microzonation : A Case Study of Miri District of Sarawak, Malaysia

The objective of this research is to develop the framework for sustainable land-use planning on the basis of seismic microzonation to reduce the devastating effects of future earthquakes by utilizing the software geographical information system (ArcGIS). Miri district of Sarawak in Malaysia has b...
