Abstract

The practice of providing safe temporary facilities for pedestrians during the execution of infrastructure projects is still challenging due to project complexity and the management of existing traffic flow. The challenge of ensuring pedestrian safety also becomes a concern in Jakarta, Indonesia, which currently has many ongoing infrastructure projects. The execution of these projects along existing main roads demands contractors to close some road lanes including pedestrian accesses. The circumstance highlights the importance of investigating the current practice in providing safe temporary pedestrian access. This study aims to investigate the safety and comfort measure of pedestrian access adjacent to the construction site. Nonconformities to safety findings from the field later are used as a basis for expert interviews in order to acquire recommendations. This research took a case study of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) project with a section length of 3.6 km. Observations took place every 100 meters and all nonconformities to safety data were recorded. Findings showed that among the potential nonconformities to safety, only six of those factors occurred frequently which later became the basis of questionnaire development for semi-structured expert interviews. Three experts from different backgrounds were chosen. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. Field observation result shows that among the six factors of nonconformity to safety, the unavailability of the separator system between the pedestrian access and road lane becomes the most occurred factor. The research demonstrates that in order to provide safety for pedestrians, access should be prepared with a minimum width of 90-100 cm, durable and stable surface, as well as a barrier that ensures safety against traffic and construction work. This study recommends the practical considerations for pedestrian safety as well as policies in terms of contractor’s organization and government in a broader perspective.

Abstract

The construction sector is one of the most vulnerable sectors to corruption. Previous publications have examined the causes, types, impacts, and strategies for preventing and eradicating corrupt practices in the construction sector. This research, however, focuses on the influence of cultural aspects on corrupt practices in the Indonesian construction sector. Through a mixed-method approach, this research identifies various forms of corruption in the construction sector and measures construction practitioners’ perceptions regarding the frequency of these corrupt practices. In summary, 14 forms of corrupt practices can occur at four stages of construction procurement. The analysis results also show practitioners’ perception of corruption as a norm in the construction business. This is motivated by the influence of cultural aspects in Indonesian society, especially related to the practice of connections and insiders, as well as a permissive attitude towards corruption. The results of this research contribute as a reference for stakeholders in understanding the influence of cultural aspects comprehensively so that they can take effective steps in establishing an anti-corruption culture in Indonesia.

Abstract

In the digital era, innovative learning methods are key to increasing student engagement and understanding in engineering and construction. One of the increasingly emerging approaches is game-based learning (GBL), where games are used as interactive educational tools. This study explores the effectiveness of Minecraft: Education Edition in improving academic performance and engagement of students in the Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) Study Program at a university in Indonesia. This study used a mixed method, namely learning observation and questionnaire survey of students attending Minecraft-based lecture sessions. The findings of this study are presented in three main topics, namely the implementation of Minecraft: Education Edition as a learning medium, the Effectiveness of Minecraft as a Learning Medium for Construction Management, and implementation barriers. The results of this study are expected to provide insight into best practices in engineering education, especially in the application of interactive technology to improve learning effectiveness. This study also provides recommendations for higher education institutions to adopt game-based learning as part of innovative strategies in engineering learning. With increased student engagement and understanding through game-based simulations, Minecraft has the potential to be a revolutionary educational tool in the construction discipline.

Abstract

Many prior studies focused on construction workers' perceptions of safety compliance, but little or no research has been undertaken to investigate the relationship between construction project sacrifice and safety compliance. Construction project sacrifice – known as ‘tumbal proyek’ in the Indonesian Language is a socio-cultural phenomenon that still exists in Indonesian society. This research examines the perceptions of construction workers regarding project sacrifice and their relationship to workers’ compliance with construction safety management. A mixed-method approach was employed, which consisted of an integrative literature review and questionnaire surveys. In total, there were 102 valid survey responses, which were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling-Generalised Structured Component Analysis (SEM-GSCA). The analysis demonstrates a positive relationship between workers’ perceptions of project sacrifice and safety compliance. This study adds by offering empirical data on the phenomenon of project sacrifice and how workers' perceptions of it can influence the construction safety compliance in Indonesia. Although this is a context-specific study, the findings can serve as a reference for future research to enhance the safety climate in construction projects.
