FKIP UHAMKA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Indonesia's ethnic diversity has become a world-recognized identity. There are more than 750 ethnic groups throughout Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke. Every ethnic group has its character and is also an image of a proud cultural system. The Lio ethnic group is one of the ethnic groups on the island of Flores with their traditional ties and values of local wisdom that enrich Indonesia's diversity. One of its values include the local leadership known as Mosalaki. In Sikka Regency, the status of a Mosalaki in the Lio ethnic group is still the central point of the social structure. The Mosalaki are prominent figures in terms of their origins, authority and charisma that are not shared by society in general. In various traditional ceremonial procedures, the Mosalaki have an essential role to play, such as deciding the planting season, land management procedures, marriage procedures, and procedures for preserving and ensuring the wellbeing of people, contact behaviour, the belief system embraced even in the realm of modern politics today. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach as developed by Spradley. The results of the study describe that the role of a Mosalaki is still the focal point of all activities in the Lio ethnic, especially in the modern world today.

  • Seismic Hazard Analysis of Maumere, Flores: a Review of the Earthquake Sources
    Seismic Hazard Analysis of Maumere, Flores: a Review of the Earthquake Sources Lina Handayani1 {[email protected]} Research Center for Geotechnology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences Kampus LIPI, Jl. Sangkuriang Bandung 401351 Abstract. Maumere at the north coast of Flores Island has experienced not only large earthquakes but also tsunamis. The earthquake sources in this area include thrust faults (north of the island, Timor Trough, and Sawu Basin), strike-slip fault at the west of the island, and Australian Plate subduction-related movements. In this paper, we reviewed all tectonic aspects and studies on a previous large earthquake. A thorough study of all possible sources and probability seismic hazard analysis indicated that events caused by the Flores back arc thrust has the highest possible effect to the ground attenuation in Maumere. Keywords: seismic hazard, Maumere, Flores, Flores back arc thrust. 1 Introduction Earthquakes events have continually occurred around the island of Flores. One of the largest earthquakes in this area occurred on December 12, 1992, with a magnitude of 7.8. The main shocks, aftershocks and the ensuing tsunami hit the northern coast. Maumere as one of the largest town suffered a big loss and destruction. Such loss can be minimized by a better understanding of the earthquakes that may affect an area. It is more imminent now when Maumere is developing with increasing population and infrastructures. The knowledge then should be followed by public education, emergency preparedness, and construction of earthquake-resistant infrastructures. The earthquake catalog was recorded 4 large events with a magnitude of more than 7 that had affected Maumere.

Diponegoro No. 57, Bandung 2Center for Environmental Geology, Jl. Diponegoro No. 57, Bandung ABSTR A CT The Ende City is a steep mountainous area, of which the height of their peaks are above 1500 m asl. It has the limited extent of plain places, without coastal plains. Due to this condition, large parts of the area are vulnerable to mass-movements mainly debris flows, rock-falls and shallow translational and rotational landslides. On the other hand, Flores Island is a segment of the Banda Arc that contains eleven very active volcanoes and numerous inactive volcanic cones. Two of them, Mount Iya and Mount Kelimutu are included to Ende Regency. The northern foot of Mount Iya is only about 1 km away from the southern outskirts of Ende city. But the presence of Mount Meja and Mount Roja as the barrier, and the orientation of the active crater (K2), the highly explosive eruption of Iya Volcano may not directly endanger the city of Ende. Most pyroclastic flows of previous eruptions and other eruptive material emplaced into the sea, but due to a short horizontal distance between Mount Iya and Ende City, the ejected rock fragments can endanger the city of Ende especially its southern parts. A crack has developed around the active crater (K2) of Iya Volcano. It seems that the crack indicates a major weakness within the volcano, which could result in a giant landslide, entering the sea in future eruptions of Iya Volcano.
