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.

Abstract

Latar Belakang: Tanah merupakan sebuah aset berharga bagi mereka yang memilikinya. Hak kepemilikan atas tanah ditunjukkan dalam wujud sertifikat tanah. Seiring dengan pembangunan infrastruktur untuk kepentingan umum maupun pembangunan komersial lainnya, muncul praktik mafia tanah yang meresahkan masyarakat. Keterlibatan mafia tanah dalam pembebasan lahan untuk pembangunan menimbulkan berbagai permasalahan baik berupa sengketa tanah maupun konflik masyarakat. Metode Penelitian: Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Analisis deskriptif bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran obyek penelitian secara kritis, sedangkan penelitian yuridis normatif menerapkan kajian terhadap perundang-undangan (statute approach). Hasil Penelitian: Hasil analisis mengelompokkan pembahasan terkait praktik mafia tanah di Indonesia menjadi empat bagian yaitu (1) kebijakan pertanahan di Indonesia, (2) berbagai kasus mafia tanah di Indonesia, (3) keterlibatan aparat negara dalam pusaran mafia tanah, dan (4) upaya pemberantasan mafia tanah dan penegakan hukum tindak pidana mafia tanah. Kesimpulan: Penelitian ini menemukan reforma agraria yang telah dilakukan pemerintah sudah memperbaiki berbagai sistem mekanisme penyelenggaraan tanah untuk pembangunan bagi kepentingan umum. Namun pemerintah bersama DPR perlu merumuskan sebuah undang-undang baru terkait Tindak Pidana Mafia Tanah sebagai strategi efektif dalam upaya pemberantasan dan penegakkan hukum tindak pidana mafia tanah.

Abstract

Porous concrete is widely used as a sustainable construction material since it allows water to pass through its structure, reducing surface runoff and supporting groundwater recharge. However, its application is often limited by its low compressive strength. This study investigates the effect of adding superplasticiser at varying dosage levels: 0.3%, 0.6%, and 0.8% of cement weight, on the mechanical properties of porous concrete. The research was conducted through laboratory experiments, with material testing, slump testing, and compressive strength testing at 7 and 28 days of curing. The results showed that the addition of superplasticiser significantly improved the compressive strength of porous concrete without affecting its porosity. The highest compressive strength was achieved at a 0.8% dosage, reaching 23.01 MPa at 28 days, which represents a 21.4% increase compared to normal porous concrete. The slump test confirmed that all concrete mixtures maintained near-zero slump values, ensuring that permeability was not compromised. These findings suggest that superplasticiser is an effective additive for improving the strength of porous concrete while preserving its essential drainage function. The research supports the broader application of porous concrete in sustainable infrastructure, especially in areas where both strength and water management are critical.

Abstract

Project delays frequently occur in industrial equipment installation projects and significantly affect time performance and contractual commitments. This research aims to identify the dominant factors causing delays in the magnet separator installation project on the Barge Loading Conveyor (BLC) system and to propose practical solutions to improve schedule performance. The research focuses on administrative and material procurement factors as well as manpower factors, in line with the project characteristics. A quantitative–descriptive method was applied using baseline schedule analysis, planned and actual S-curve comparison, weekly and cumulative progress deviation calculations, and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) analysis. The results were supported by interviews with project stakeholders. The findings reveal that delays in administrative processes and procurement approval of the main equipment significantly impacted the project because these activities were on the critical path. In addition, limited manpower competency reduced field productivity, resulting in cumulative schedule deviations with SPI values below 1. The research concludes that procurement and manpower are the most dominant delay factors and emphasizes the importance of preventive planning strategies, including clear project day zero determination, integrated procurement scheduling, competency-based workforce planning, and detailed milestone control.

Abstract

This study aims to identify hazards and hazard assessment parameters in construction works through scientometric and integrative literature review analysis towards relevant academic literature. Scientometric analysis was adopted using Open Knowledge Maps application and followed by a qualitative analysis that produced new perspectives regarding hazard potentials and hazard assessment parameters in construction works. This study has successfully identified 40 construction hazards which grouped into six types, i.e. physical hazards, biological hazards, chemical hazards, technological hazards, psychosocial hazards, and combination. Furthermore, this study has also identified four assessment parameters, namely severity, probability, frequency, and exposure. The contribution of this study lies in its in-depth understanding on the identification of construction hazards and hazard assessment parameters through a comprehensive literature review. The findings are useful for practitioners to advance their safety management quality, as well as for academics to conduct further research on construction hazards, assessment and mitigations.
