Abstract

The rising fuel prices on September 3, 2022, are expected to reduce the use of private cars and increase the use of public transport. This expectation has raised optimism among public transport operators and is expected to encourage them to invest more. However, there is no evidence to support the expectation. Therefore, it is essential to study the effect of the fuel price on the use of a particular transport mode, thus motivating this study. This paper aims to investigate the impact of the rising costs of subsidized fuel on private cars. A Likert-scale type of questionnaire was used to collect data. The data was analyzed descriptively, and then a conclusion was made based on the results. The study found that the daily commute of respondents changed after fuel prices increased. Distance, duration, and frequency of travel tend to be reduced and prioritized over primary activities. To reduce travel costs, the respondents who usually use cars are more likely to use motorcycles than public transport. The findings of this study disprove that an increase in fuel prices would increase the use of public transport. Why is public transport less favoured compared to motorcycles? It seems that the quality of service provided by public transport fails to satisfy the consumers' needs.

Abstract

Landslides are Indonesia's second most common disaster in the last ten years. Landslides cause losses, reaching hundreds of billions and threatening human safety. For this reason, it is necessary to take action to reduce the negative impact of landslides. Physical and non-physical mitigation can occur before, during, and after a disaster. The most essential thing in disaster mitigation is knowing the major factors that cause landslides. This research aims to analyze the major and minor factors that cause landslides using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Likert scale. Respondents in this research are experts in disasters, especially landslides—respondents from universities in Indonesia, practitioners, and people involved in disaster mitigation. Validity and reliability tests were carried out on each question used in the questionnaire. The research results show that the landslide disaster was caused by a disruption in balance that occurred due to internal and external disturbance factors. The major external factors that cause slope failures are the cutting of hills and changes in land use to built-up areas. In contrast, the major internal factors that trigger landslides are heavy rainfall and steep topographic conditions. The results of this research in the form of weight and scoring values for each factor causing landslides can be used as a reference for mapping landslide areas to identify areas with the potential for landslides.

Abstract

Many road damages are caused by road construction that does not follow standards, so evaluating road conditions and choosing the appropriate asphalt for each state is essential. So, in this study, the asphalt mixture was modified using rubber asphalt with a percentage of rubber of 7% in the Hot Rolled Sheet-Wearing Course (HRS-WC). This study aimed to identify the effect of rubber asphalt on Marshall's characteristics and durability in HRS-WC. The method in this study is the Marshall Test and the calculation of the durability index on the test specimen with an immersion time of 0.5, 24, 72, and 168 hours at a temperature of 60°C. From the test results, the Optimum Asphalt Content (OAC) value of the rubber asphalt mixture was 7.13% with Marshall characteristic values of 4078.686 kg, flow 3.266 mm, MQ 1270.676 kg/mm, VMA 21.487%, VFB 71.983%, and VIM 6.062%. From the durability test results, the Residual Strength Index (RSI) value entered the specification only until the 24-hour immersion time with a value of 94.891%. The First Durability Index (FDI) and Second Durability Index (SDI) values are positive, where the mixture loses strength with increasing immersion time. It can be concluded that using rubber asphalt in HRS-WC is good enough for pavement because almost all Marshall characteristics were included in the specifications used. The stability value in the rubber asphalt mixture is higher than that of the pen—60/70 asphalt mixture. However, the level of durability of the rubber asphalt mixture is relatively low because it can only last up to 24 hours of immersion. Therefore, HRS-WC using rubber asphalt is unsuitable in areas with low groundwater levels or areas that often flood.
