Abstract

This study aims to determine the category of comfortable thermal sensation in traveling based on the value of the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) thermal index. The research sites were selected in Padang Beach (PP), Air Manis Beach (PAM) and Nirwana Beach (PN). Calculation of perception of comfort using questionnaire data to visitors. PET calculation data is sourced from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in 2011-2020 and direct measurement data. The results show that the PET thermal sensation category for the Padang City coastal area throughout the year (2011-2020) is included in the "warm" category for tourism activities. Likewise, direct measurements show the "very hot" category with a PET value of 40.3ºC. However, interviews with visitors showed that the overall comfort condition was “neutral” (62%). This is due to environmental conditions that provide a comfortable effect on visitors. The majority of visitors were interviewed under the auspices. Although the measured air temperature is classified as "high", the effects of trees, walking paths and rest areas make visitors feel comfortable.

Abstract

Rainfall above normal can be categorized as extreme rainfall. Extreme rainfall can be caused by various factors, such as global, local, and regional factors. Some regional factors that influence rainfall are the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Padang City has high rainfall intensity which can result in extreme rainfall. The lack of adequate disaster mitigation results in flood disasters when extreme rainfall occurs. Therefore, this research aims to determine normal rainfall, extreme rainfall trends and the relationship between the MJO and IOD phenomena with the frequency of extreme rainfall in Padang City. This information is needed for future disaster mitigation planning. The method used is the time series method and statistical correlation test. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that Padang City is an area with an equatorial rain type, where the highest rainfall occurs in November with a value of 512 mm and the lowest in May with a value of 268 mm. The trend in extreme rainfall tends to decrease with regression coefficient values ​​of 0.0412 and 0.0708. There is a significant relationship between the number of negative IOD events and the frequency of extreme rainfall with a correlation coefficient of 0.483 and 0.403 which indicates a moderate correlation. There is no significant correlation between the number of strong MJO events in Phases 3 and 4 and the frequency of extreme rainfall, with a correlation coefficient of -0.038 – 0.105.

Abstract

Bengkulu Province has a high level of seismicity with significant earthquakes preceded by the phenomenon of decreased seismic activity (seismic quiescence) which can be seen through observing changes in seismic rate in an area based on the spatial distribution of z values. This study uses data from the USGS website for the period 1925-2021 to study seismic rates changes based on the spatial distribution of z values. In this study there are seven research focus zones, five major earthquake zones 1934 (7.0 SR), 1943 (7.0 SR), 2000 (7.0 SR), 2001 (7.0 SR), 2007 (7.7 SR), as well as two seismic activity zones with coordinates -5.6° to -4° south latitude and 101.6° to 103.4° east longitude and a seismic gap zone with coordinates –4.2° to -2.5° South latitude and 102.6° to 104.5° East longitude. The observation result show that before the earthquake occurred in the period 1925-2021, Before the earthquake, there had been a seismic quiescence phenomena. Four years before 2021, the seismic quiescence phenomena occurs in high seismic activity zones., while the seismic gap area occurs seven years before 2021. Overall, the seismic activity analysis result in Bengkulu province area shows an increase and decrease in seismic activity simultaneously in several different areas. This should be suspected of being the beginning of a significant earthquake in the future.
