Abstract

Ensuring fire safety in dense residential areas is a major concern in urban disaster mitigation. The high incidence of fires and their impacts, including fatalities, economic losses, and social disruption, underscore the need to evaluate existing prevention systems. Aims: This study examines the relationship between fire alarm availability, evacuation training participation, and community preferences for improving fire safety measures. Methodology and results: A mixed-methods approach was used, integrating quantitative chi-square analysis with qualitative grounded theory. Quantitative data were obtained from a structured survey of 111-respondents, and qualitative data were derived from open-ended responses analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding. The results revealed a significant association between fire alarm availability and preferences for strengthening early warning systems (p = 0.0025). Participation in evacuation training was also significantly related to recommendations for improving evacuation facilities and procedures (p = 0.0064). Qualitative findings show that trained individuals prioritize accessible evacuation routes and routine simulation exercises. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The study proposes three strategies: (1) improving affordability and access to fire alarm systems, (2) increasing community-based evacuation training, and (3) designing evacuation routes adapted to dense settlement conditions. These measures are expected to enhance fire safety and strengthen community resilience in high-risk residential areas.

Abstract

As environmental issues become more pressing and the world works to reduce carbon emissions, the construction industry is shifting towards using more eco-friendly materials. In East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, lontar fiber (Borassus flabellifer) is a widely available, renewable resource that is good for the environment. It can be used to build walls in homes, but its use is still limited. People are not aware of it, there are no clear performance standards, and the public’s opinion of it is not well understood. Aims: This research aims to examine how people perceive and accept lontar fiber as a building material. Methodology and results: The study uses a grounded theory method, which means it closely examines people's views. Data were collected through online questionnaires from 120 carefully selected individuals. The findings show that many people are interested in using lontar fiber because it is eco-friendly, affordable, and easily accessible locally. However, concerns remain about its durability, strength, and reliability. Participants emphasized the importance of testing, education, and small-scale projects to build confidence in the material. Conclusion, significance and impact study: The study shows that lontar fiber could be an excellent, low-carbon building material made from local resources. The study also points out that to use it more widely, a mix of new technology, traditional knowledge, government support, and community involvement is needed to help build a more sustainable future in Indonesia.
