Promoting Humanitarian Engineering Approaches for Earthquake-Resilient Housing in Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia is an earthquake-prone country. In many earthquakes, the housing sector suffers the most damage. Repairing and rebuilding houses is often the most expensive part of post-disaster recovery, placing a burden on the government. Standards and guidelines for earthquake-resilient houses exist, yet houses continue to be damaged in earthquake events. Although Indonesia has numerous engineers, both experienced and newly qualified, only a few are interested in pursuing and identifying affordable solutions to the housing problems caused by earthquakes that are sustainable and resilient. Moreover, people are unaware of and unable to implement the proposed and promoted solutions. With many people living in earthquake-prone areas with little access to affordable and appropriate technology, the challenge facing Indonesia today is to produce more engineers who have the level of sensitivity, empathy, and passion required to address this great humanitarian need. The promotion of humanitarian engineering to provide appropriate solutions must start early on in higher engineering education.

Biaya Implementasi SMK 3 Pada Proyek Rekonstruksi Bangunan Gedung Terdampak Gempa Bumi Mamuju-Majene

“…Pada penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa biaya penerapan SMK3 tidak linier pada tingkat pesentase nilai kontrak seperti yang diestimasikan oleh peraturan terkait, namun persentase biaya SMK3 bervariasi dengan tingkat kerusakan bangunan yang direkonstruksi. Kata kunci: rekonstruksi, komponen biaya SMK3, estimasi biaya konstruksi, Gempa Mamuju, gempa bumi PENDAHULUAN Indonesia merupakan negara yang rawan terhadap bencana, terutama bencana gempa bumi (Pribadi et al, 2023). Pada rentang waktu 2000-2021, gempa bumi memiliki kejadian bencana hanya 1 % dari total kejadian bencana, namun memiliki dampak bencana berupa kerusakan gedung dan korban jiwa 50% total dari dampak bencana yang terjadi (BNPB, 2021d;UNDRR, 2011).…”

Market and Industrialization Opportunities of Rumah Unggul Sistem Panel Instan (RUSPIN) Technology Using Business Model Canvas

“…The Ministry of Public Housing and Settlement (PUPR) through Research and Development Center for Housing and Settlement (Pusperkim) already produced precast housing technology for earthquakeresistant simple houses (Febrinastri & Fadilah, 2021). The previous precast housing technology development in Indonesia is Rumah Instan Sederhana Sehat (RISHA) which has been implemented both in the disaster area and housing area (Pribadi, et. al., 2023).…”
