Abstract

The construction industry significantly impacts the environment through resource consumption and carbon emissions. This study explores environmentally friendly concrete block production using recycled materials to address these challenges. By incorporating waste materials such as Styrofoam (X1), HVS paper (X2), and Onggok Aren fiber (X3), this study aimed to reduce landfill waste and lower carbon emissions. Our research shows that these materials can be effectively used in concrete block production, meeting required standards. However, high initial production costs remain a barrier. Effective cost modeling and optimization, using linear programming, showed that production costs for blocks made from Styrofoam (X1), HVS Paper (X2), and Onggok Aren Fiber (X3) could be significantly reduced. The optimized costs were Rp 1,804.26 for Styrofoam (X1), Rp 3,500 for HVS Paper (X2), and Rp 4,000 for Onggok Aren Fiber (X3) per block. By incorporating a 30% profit margin, the selling prices were set at Rp 2,345.54 for Styrofoam (X1), Rp 4,550 for HVS Paper (X2), and Rp 5,200 for Onggok Aren Fiber (X3). This approach ensures market competitiveness and sustainable profitability, promoting the use of alternative materials in construction and advancing environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Earthquake disasters have a significant impact, especially on infrastructure, socio-economy, and housing. In August 2018, there were earthquakes in Lombok; the Government then issued a reconstruction policy, especially in the housing sector. In the worst affected areas in North Lombok, the reconstruction process is targeted to be completed in March 2019, but as of February 2020, at least 7,210 houses have not been constructed. Further discussion is needed to determine the delay factors in post-disaster housing reconstruction. A qualitative approach was chosen to emphasize the benefits and information gathering by exploring the phenomenon under study. Seven informants from representatives of the Government, facilitators, and the community were selected to be interviewed regarding the delays. The data analysis used in this study used a descriptive approach by categorizing the results of the interviews according to previous research and experts. Thus, data analysis was found five issues of delay that are closely related to communication and coordination, human resources, materials and supplies, workmanship and quality, and monitoring.
