Abstract
The occurrence of natural disasters cannot be avoided, but what can be done is to reduce the risk of many casualties. This study intends to analyze the typology of urban road networks prone to tsunami disasters and provide development recommendations to reduce disaster risk. Through remote sensing approaches and geographic information systems, road network analysis is carried out, identifying congestion points, settlement centres, and land clearing. The study's results found a typology of the road network and recommended a road network be developed to support disaster mitigation. The typology of the Padang City road network in the city centre which is directly adjacent to the sea is 80% grid to all residential centres, but it is not evenly connected to arterial and collector roads, so it is assessed that it does not support disaster mitigation or is vulnerable to disturbances.
