III. METHODOLOGY
3.1 Time and Location
This research has been conducted from January 2006 to May 2006 at MIT Master of Science in Information Technology research laboratory, SEAMEO
BIOTROP, Bogor Agricultural University, Bogor and GTCUNPAK UNPAK GIS Center, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Pakuan, Bogor. The location of
this research is in Southern West Java Figure 2.8. Page: 22 where active tectonic produces many geological phenomena which generated hazard sensitive areas.
3.2 Research Area
The research is focus on the determination toward sensitive area based on geological hazard perspectives by means of remotely sensed data and GIS spatial
analysis methods, and also it will extend the mitigation recommendation for secure settlement location by means weighting procedures for decision making.
3.3 Data Sources
Mainly the data has been used for this research acquired from previous geologic research report, Administration Map from BAKOSURTANAL Figure
3.1, free downloaded SRTM-Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission Figure 3.2 from internet, Geologic digital map from PT. Aneka Tambang, Tbk - Geomineral
Unit, Jakarta Figure 3.3 and Landsat TM image of West Java 2001 with pathrow = 12265 Figure 3.4.
