Bobanehena village is geographically located in the coastal area of subduction route, causing the village to be vulnerable to frequent earthquakes. The 5 SR earthquake struck the village in 2015 caused heavy damages to people's houses. The houses that are susceptible to damage by earthquakes, resulting in many casualties. This research aim is to identify the types of house in Bobanehena village, West Halmahera Regency. Typological data of houses can be used as database for vulnerability assessment in Bobanehena village. The method used was field study, structured interviews, and documentation using field observation to determine the physical condition of houses which are responsive to earthquakes. The results of the research indicate that the residence in Bobanehena village, West Halmahera Regency is in the form of the spatial distribution of earthquakes-prone housing, which forms a longitudinal pattern and expanded to the coastal area. The characteristic of settlement distribution is unorganized and clustered, so it appears to be in a random pattern. The typology of earthquake-prone residences in Bobanehena village can be classified into three types, namely Stengah Leger house, Fala Kanci traditional house, and modern house. In addition, from those three types, Stengah Leger and Fala Kanci are responsive to the earthquake load, for it uses wooden frame construction.
The classroom needs a comfortable atmosphere for learning activities. One of the comfortable factors is free from noise, which was not present in the classrooms of SDN 4 in Ternate City. This happens because the school is located on the main street with two lanes for two directions. The noise level at this location measured from the front classroom, which is directly adjacent to the main road, reached 74,02 dB. The number exceeds the noise threshold for the educational environment, which may prevent the learning activities from running optimally, as well may cause the students and teachers loss of hearing. The present community service attempted to utilize used goods in the form of egg trays to reduce waste in the environment. The KKN-PKM aimed to renovate the classroom so that it becomes a soundproof classroom by reducing the noise from the outside of the building to make the students and teachers in the classroom feel comfortable during the learning activities. The methods used in the early stage were surveys, interviews, and measurements of the beginning and end. The result of this community service was in the form of a soundproof classroom of SDN 4 in Ternate City. The average number of measurements before and after the installation of egg trays looked significant, that is 74,02 dB was reduced to 59,8 dB. The result obtained a positive response from the stakeholders and all the students and teachers of SDN 4 in Ternate City.
Perkembangan suatu kota mengakibatkan meningkatnya suhu udara di kota tersebut. Kondisi ini biasa dikenal sebagai efek Urban Heat Island. Hal ini berdampak pada aktivitas yang terjadi di ruang kota. Koridor Sultan Khairun (salah satu ruang kota/street) yang berorientasi Utara-Selatan, saat ini telah berkembang pesat dengan didominasi oleh fungsi komersial dan ramai dikunjungi oleh masyarakat kota Ternate. Terkait dengan hal tersebut kenyamanan termal menjadi suatu hal yang penting dan tersedia bagi pengguna. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penataan hardscape dan softscape terhadap aspek nyaman termal pada ruang publik kota. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode pengukuran empirik dan simulasi menggunakan software Envi-MET. Hasil penelitian menunnukkan bahwa pada koridor Jalan Sultan Khairun didominasi oleh bangunan dengan ketinggi 1-2 lantai dan minim vegetasi yang hanya terdapat pada salah satu sisi jalan sehingga temperature rata-rata 32 derajat pada siang hari lebih panas. Simulasi koridor dengan vegetasi rapat dan kerapatan bangunan rendah dikedua sisinya agar angin bergerak sehingga dapat mengurangi panas oleh sinar matahari.
