Abstract

The expanded growth of the trade and services area of Peterongan - Tawang – Siliwangi (Petawangi) in Semarang City has resulted in a new growth of commercial center activity within the area. Hotels as one of the potential trade and service components in the center of the area have an important role in the Semarang economy. The growth of hotels is due to the growth of activities like meeting, incentives, conference, and exhibition (MICE) as an effect of business activities in Semarang City. The share of hotels in the Petawangi area is around 70 percent of the total hotel tax in Semarang City. The purpose of this research is to identify the characteristics of the growth of hotels in the Petawangi Area during the last 3 years (2011-2014). The research has used spatio-temporal GIS and qualitative analysis, utilizing snowball sampling technique. The results show that the growth of hotels is excessive in the sense that the supply of hotel rooms exceeds the demand. The hotel growth is most intense in the urban villages of Sekayu and Pekunden. The emergence of the national government policy, which does not support the development of city hospitality through MICE, may result in a decrease of the hotel tax in Semarang for about 35 to 50 percent per year. To be able to keep the balance between supply and demand, better cooperation between the Semarang City government and the hotels managements is needed. It is especially for developing the infrastructure such as integrated inter-modal transportation for easier access to and from airport, improvement of urban facilities, city tourism development, and organizing national events to increase the declining demand of MICE. © 2015 GJGP UNDIP.

Abstract

In Indonesia, several programs have dealt with tsunami mitigation, such as The German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (GITEWS) project (2005-2011). Despite the success of these projects, many coastal areas in Indonesia are still vulnerable to tsunamis, due to the variety of land cover and spatial configuration characteristics. One of such vulnerable areas includes Purworejo Regency. This paper evaluated the degree to which land cover and spatial configuration characteristics influence the tsunami evacuation process, and thus influence tsunami hazard mitigation. The evaluation drawn on data from a low to medium density populated coastal area of Purworejo Regency. The analysis relied on a quantitative approach, using a cross-sectional field survey, followed by a GIS-based analysis. This is complemented by a raster-based analysis to incorporate the land cover and spatial configuration aspects.  The combined analysis derived which buildings could act as evacuation buildings in case of a tsunami. The associated tsunami evacuation routes were calculated using a Least Cost Path (LCP) analysis method. The results suggested that several public facility buildings are likely to be used as tsunami evacuation buildings. Yet, even though the overall capacity of these buildings is adequate to accommodate the estimated number of evacuees in a larger area, the specific demand at certain locations in the study area is much higher than these localities can handle. This disproportionate spatial variation in required capacity needs further attention. Moreover, the survey responses indicated that the majority of the respondents was not well informed regarding the tsunami evacuation procedures
