Abstract

Based on data from the Semarang City Fire Department in 2013-2016, 1028 fire incidents took place in Semarang City. This incidence reached its highest in 2015 with 399 cases of fire which caused material losses of up to IDR 398.3 billion. Based on these figures, Semarang City possesses the highest incidence rate of fire cases in Central Java Province. However, studies on the risk and mitigation of fire hazard disasters in Semarang City still need to be carried out. This study aims to identify fire risks, to mitigate the disaster’s hazards in Semarang City, and to provide recommendations for arranging relevant buildings and the environment. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method, in which interviews are conducted with key persons, with the utilization of GIS analysis to assess the risk of fire. The results of this study exhibit that in Semarang City, 14 villages have a high level of fire hazard risk, one of which is Rejosari Village which has the highest level of fire risk. This occurred mainly because historically, there have been many fire incidents in this area and even claiming several lives. The density of buildings and the difficulty of access further increase vulnerability in the case of fire. Nevertheless, the inhabitants still lack an understanding of this hazard. Accordingly, the fundamental mitigation to be carried out in Rejosari Village is to increase community comprehension and to consider the addition of fire protection and safety facilities, including hydrants, in densely populated buildings and areas, in order to reduce the risk of fire hazards.

Abstract

The city center's decline is a severe problem faced by cities worldwide and the City of Semarang. The population decline has coincided with the transformation of urban villages in the Central Region of Semarang City. Many dwellings have changed their function due to the growth in commercial activity, which then affected the physical form of settlements in the area. Therefore, the city center often experiences depreciation and creates vacant land, which also impacts ongoing environmental degradation. The physical transformation of urban villages needs to be identified as a positive opportunity to develop a more productive city center. This study aims to identify the characteristics and typologies in the city center to model the development of the Semarang City Center Area. This study uses a mixed research methods approach (mixed method) and used primary data in questionnaires distributed to the community in the Central City of Semarang. Respondents in this study are people who live in two residential groups, namely Kampung Kota (Urban Villages) and Planned Housing. The result is that there are four typologies based on settlement characteristics and changes in their function. These typologies include Fixed Planned Housing, Changed Planned Housing, Fixed Urban Villages and Changed Urban Villages. Then the four typologies become the basis for the development model of the Semarang City Center Area, looking at the opportunities and challenges.
