It is caused by the convergence between three lithosphere plates, where the Australian Plate drifting to North, Pacific to West, and Eurasia from South to South-East respective. The future tsunami simulation was done by using SiTProS (Siam Tsunami Propagation Simulator) Version 1.5., which uses data such as earthquakes coordinate, magnitudes, focus depths, and propagation scheme, as the main input parameters in the simulations. Based on those future tsunami simulations results, the mitigation scheme chosen for Banggae District of Majene Region, West Sulawesi Province is the Vertical Tsunami Mitigation scheme. Due to its detailed parameters i.e. population details, evacuation time, distance and speed, the Vertical Tsunami Mitigation Scheme can determine the existence of shelters parameters and analyze the additional shelters needed in precise manner.

Introduction Sulawesi Island has a development for tectonic activities in Makassar Strait that moved from West to East, can cause since tertiary era. Due to this development, Sulawesi is pressure impact to the region near by the Saddang Fault. included as one of active place in Indonesia which has Moreover, the activity of Saddang Fault is also caused by the geologically complex phenomenon.
