Abstract In the last few years BMKG (Agency for Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics) has increased the number of seismic stations significantly. Until mid-2020, when this study was conducted, the number of BMKG stations has reached 339 units. Development of the network is aimed to improve the data quality, speed of earthquake data processing and information dissemination to the public, accuracy of the hypocenter, as well as the magnitude. The objective of this study is to identify the site characteristics of the network. We analysed the noise recorded at BMKG stations throughout Indonesia using the HVSR (Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio) method. The results of HVSR analysis were used to classify the site conditions of each station. We got the number of stations with the classification of hard rock, rock, hard soil, medium soil, and soft soil, 47, 57, 52, 30, and 84, respectively. This site condition represents the stations characteristics and affects the quality of seismic waveform data.
