This study investigates the temporal evolution of site response in the post-liquefaction zone of Petobo, Palu, Indonesia, following the 2018 Mw 7.5 earthquake, using the Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio (HVSR) method, combined with inversion, to obtain shear-wave velocity (Vs) profiles. Microtremor measurements were collected at six sites before the event (June 2018), six sites shortly after (January 2019), and 13 sites three years later (August 2021). The analysis of the HVSR spectral curves and inversion results revealed significant spatiotemporal variations in the dominant frequency (f0), Vs30, and bedrock depth. Downstream sites recorded reductions in f0 and Vs30 due to sediment accumulation and thickening of unconsolidated layers, whereas upstream and central zones exhibited sharper decreases associated with erosion, compaction, and pore-pressure effects. Sites outside the visibly deformed corridor also showed temporary softening immediately after the earthquake, followed by a gradual recovery within three years. The inverted Vs profiles, validated against the SPT-N data, confirmed their reliability in delineating subsurface stiffness and stratigraphic variations. The results demonstrated sediment redistribution, with deeper bedrock in the depositional sectors and shallower interfaces in the erosional areas. This study provides one of the first multi-year HVSR monitoring datasets for a liquefaction-prone region in Indonesia and demonstrates that HVSR combined with Vs profiling offers a cost-effective, non-invasive approach for tracking post-liquefaction recovery and supporting seismic microzonation, hazard reassessment, and reconstruction planning in earthquake-affected regions.
