Abstract :

A study on the tectonic activity index (IAT) was conducted in the Sombe Lewara Sub-Watershed, encompassing the area of Palu City and Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The objective of this research was to determine the level of tectonic activity in the Sombe Lewara Sub-Watershed. The analysis employed in this study was morphotectonic analysis, utilizing parameters such as Hypsometric Integral (HI), Basin Shape (BS), Asymmetry Factor (AF), Stream Length-gradient Index (SL), Area Factor (AF), and Valley floor width-to-height ratio (Vf ratio). The tectonic activity index (IAT) value in the Sombe Lewara Sub-Watershed was 1.6, which classifies it within the high tectonic activity category. This high level of tectonic activity in the research area influences the landscape conditions and the types of rocks present. The predominant rock types in the study area are sedimentary rocks such as conglomerate deposits, sandstone, siltstone, and claystone. These rocks form the character of an expansive alluvial fan landscape that nearly covers the entire plain. One of the primary factors contributing to liquefaction in the Balaroa Region is that the area is composed of sand sediment deposits and granite boulders that constitute the alluvial fan.
