Bengkulu City in Indonesia is one of the areas prone to earthquakes, yet it has developed increasingly in the last five years. One of the prospective areas in Bengkulu City, called Singaran Pati, is located close to the Dendam Tak Sudah Lake, a natural tropical lake. This research aims to interpret geological characteristics for the spatial plan development in the study area. Microtremor measurement and site investigation are implemented to observe the geophysical and geological characteristics of the study site. Inversion analysis using Monte Carlo simulated annealing is conducted to generate a shear wave velocity profile. Based on the shear wave velocity, the identified bedrock surface is illustrated in a 3D geological model. A simple analysis of the natural period to estimate allowable structural building storeys is also performed. Results show that the depth of the bedrock surface is around 4.5-147 m. The study area is dominantly categorised as Site Classes C and D. Low- to medium-rise buildings are appropriate to construct based on the geophysical and geotechnical information. The findings can provide preliminary guidelines on geotechnical and geological information for the seismic site conditions in the study area in Bengkulu City.
