An earthquake occured in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta and Central Java on May, 27th 2006 was one the biggest earthquake in Indonesia. The earthquake was about 5.9 Richter scale and made many victims. The previous research showed that the most damaged area was around the Opak Sesar in Bantul. This fact actually indicates that the Opak Sesar had the influence for the damage on that earthquake. Bantul District is a region which has variation of landuse such as settlement, agriculture area, tourism, and conservation area. Unfortunately, the distribution of this landuse still not considers on the disaster management aspects. This paper is purposed to clasify and mapping the Bantul area in two main classes, settlement and non settlement area based on earthquake management consideration and using the remote sensing and geography information system method. The settlement is the most essensial part which include the human so it should be saved more than other area. The mapping considered some parameters, which every parameters has to be scored to clasify the area. The mapping process used Landsat 7 ETM+ image of Bantul area, recorded in 2007 and secondary data from the previous research in 2006. This research can be also to evaluate the existing ‘Regional Planning’ from Bantul goverment. The results of this paper actually not to change the real landuse condition directly, but it can be a suggestion area design for the goverment to manage the area planning at the future.
