An earthquake is a natural disaster that is often found in the world, this is triggered by the movement of plates or the effects of volcanic eruptions. Indonesia is one country that has a high level of earthquake vulnerability because Indonesia is flanked by two of the world’s great oceans (Indian and Pacific oceans), Indonesia is at the confluence of the world’s three main plates (Indo-Australian plate, Eurasian plate, and Pacific plate), and very diverse Indonesian surface conditions (relief). Efforts to mitigate disasters have been carried out for how to minimize casualties and physical losses that have fallen, one of them is by making houses earthquake resistant. This article aims to analyze the characteristics of earthquake resistant homes with the aim of minimizing the impact of an earthquake.
