Melihat masifnya kerugian yang diderita manusia akibat gempa bumi, maka peningkatan kualitas infrastruktur semakin intensif dilakukan. Peningkatan tersebut dilakukan dengan penelitian-penelitian yang dilakukan demi meningkatkan ketahanannya terhadap gempa, seperti penemuan-penemuan material dan metode konstruksi alternatif. Gencarnya peningkatan ketahanan bangangun-bangunan ini, sayangnya kurang diimbangi dengan peningkatan pemahaman masyarakat terhadap bencana gempa bumi dan sikap tanggap dalam menghadapi bencana gempa bumi. Provinsi Bengkulu, sebagai wilayah yang mengalami gempa bumi perlu mempersiapkan warganya dengan pengetahuan dalam menghadapi gempa bumi. Kejadian gempa bumi pada tahun 2007 ternyata masih menimbulkan trauma bagi masyarakat Provinsi Bengkulu. Tim Pengabdian Pada Masyarakat Program Studi Teknik Sipil, Fakultas Teknik, Universitas Bengkulu, memilih SMA Negeri 1 Kabupaten Seluma dengan sasaran kegiatan ini adalah siswa, guru, dan pengguna gedung sekolah lainnya. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kiprah tim pengabdian masyarakat dari Universitas Bengkulu di bidang mitigasi bencana serta meningkatkan pemahaman mengenai gempa bumi dan kesiapsiagaan masyarakat menghadapi gempa bumi.
Keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3) telah menjadi masalah berkelanjutan dalam industri konstruksi. Upaya dilakukan untuk menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang lebih aman bagi para pekerja namun jumlah kecelakaan kerja di lokasi konstruksi tetap tinggi. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk menemukan hubungan antara sistem pengadaan dengan pelaksanaan K3 di lokasi proyek. Untuk mencapai ini, metode grounded theory digunakan dan tiga sistem pengadaan dipelajari. Sembilan responden diwawancarai, yang terdiri dari berbagai sektor seperti pemerintah, pemilik proyek swasta, kontraktor, dan konsultan manajemen konstruksi,. Dari hasil wawancara ditemukan bahwa sistem pengadaan dapat mempengaruhi keuangan, jumlah pihak yang terlibat, kerjasama antar pihak, komitmen pihak yang terlibat dalam proyek terhadap penerapan K3 dan kompleksitas proyek. Faktor-faktor tersebut membentuk lingkungan proyek yang kemudian mempengaruhi pelaksanaan K3 di lokasi proyek.
Evacuation is an important issue during the occurrence of an earthquake, due to the influence of people’s responsive behaviours to the disaster. This indicates the occurrence of overcrowded conditions, which causes the conflict of people’s movement. It is also one of the main reasons the process of evacuation is difficult, leading to the necessity to specifically model the movement within each building. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the earthquake evacuation modelling in Faculty of Engineering building, University of Bengkulu, Indonesia. This used a multi-agent programmable modelling environment known as NetLogo, which adopted an ABM model that is often utilized to observe elemental movement response. The agents occupying the building also moved to the stairs and evacuation doors, for exit towards the assembly point, which was located in front and behind Faculty of Engineering. The agent-based modelling is then conducted by inputting the layout of the building and the number of occupants in each room. Furthermore, the simulations were performed by considering various agents’ capacity in the building, during the evacuation. The results showed the time taken for the agents to exit the building during the disaster. This confirmed that the required exit time generally decreased with the increasing population percentage in the building. During this process, the conflict point also occurred around the corridor of Floors 1 and 2 (T1, T2 and T3), as well as the exits of the building (P1, P2, P3, and P4). This was due to the occurrence of a high density when agents carry out evacuation movements. Based on these results, the placement of signs was recommended, as guidelines during the evacuation process.
With high number of work accidents in Indonesia, even throughout the world, it is necessary to have innovations and new approaches in an effort to reduce the number of accidents in the construction sector. One effort that can be done is to ensure that prospective construction sector workers, especially candidates for civil engineering degrees, have sufficient understanding of Occupational Helath and Safety (OHS) before they complete their education and then work in the construction sector. This research was aimed at determining the level of understanding of firstyear students about OHS in the construction sector and then to compare it with the level of understanding of fourth year students. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to the two sample groups. The questionnaire was developed in the form of self-assessment. Overall, the results showed that there was a better change in the attitudes and levels of knowledge of students who had been studying for four years compared to students who had only taken one year of education. As many as 23.1% of respondents from first year students felt that they had very low knowledge of OHS. None of the fourth year students rated their knowledge of OHS as very poor. Responding to the question "what is your attitude towards construction OHS?" as many as 35.9% (majority) of respondents responded with a score of 3 (normal) while 46.5% of fourth year student respondents gave a score of 4 or very good. As many as 35.9% of first year student respondents had "bad" level of knowledge regarding OHS construction rules and 44.2% of fourth year student respondents felt their level of knowledge about construction OHS rules is "bad". Fourth year students are asked some additional questions. As many as 41.9% of respondents gave a "good" rating and as many as 44.2% of respondents gave a "very good" rating to the question "how is the quality of teaching about OHS by lecturers at the Civil Engineering Study Program, Bengkulu University?" Respondents assessed that the level of emphasis on the importance of OHS by lecturers at the Civil Engineering Study Program, Bengkulu University, was categorized as "very good"..
