During the last two decades, the severity of high magnitude earthquakes rose to a vast extent. A large amount of damage due to such devastating events reflects poor construction planning. Before the 2004 event in Indonesia, we assume poor construction planning with indigent seismic resistance in the Northern Sumatra. However, this event affected the modern buildings in Aceh province. Therefore, authors have categories all the building types into a catalogue. The typologies considered are hierarchical, construction material, structural irregularities, structural system, building height, and maintenance quality. We applied the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to prepare the vulnerability map using the typology of the building. In addition, the results show that the prepared approach is effective and useful for seismic vulnerability assessment.
