GIS based seismic vulnerability assessment in tourist attractions area: a case study in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, Malaysia

To decrease the impact of an earthquake, it is critical to analyse the risk by assessing the hazard and vulnerability ahead of time. The goal of this study is to examine the seismic susceptibility of the Bukit Tinggi area and then categorise it based on the degree of risk. Eleven indicators belongin...
