Abstract

Low-rise buildings, broadly defined as structures of one to four storeys, represent the dominant residential and small commercial building typology in many countries, particularly across Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and parts of the Middle East. Their demolition—whether for urban regeneration, post-disaster clearance, or individual redevelopment—spans a wide spectrum of approaches, from entirely manual hand-tool operations to fully mechanised excavator-based processes. This systematic review comprehensively examines the principal manual and equipment-based demolition techniques applicable to low-rise buildings, analysing each in terms of technical characteristics, operational requirements, safety implications, material recovery potential, and economic performance. The factors governing method selection—including structural typology, site access constraints, proximity to adjacent structures, project budget, and the presence of hazardous materials—are also critically examined. Two structured summary tables are presented: a comparative performance overview and a multi-criteria decision matrix to guide method selection in practice. The review concludes that no single demolition technique is universally optimal; the most appropriate approach is determined by a combination of site-specific, technical, economic, and regulatory factors. Key knowledge gaps are identified, with particular emphasis on developing-country contexts where low-rise demolition is most prevalent yet least formally regulated. Low-rise buildings, broadly defined as structures of one to four storeys, represent the dominant residential and small commercial building typology in many countries, particularly across Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and parts of the Middle East.

Abstract

This research aims to develop an environmental impact assessment model for rooftop solar power plants (PLTS rooftop) in residential areas of Medan City, using a structured and contextual Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) approach. The model is designed to integrate biophysical, socio-environmental, and technical-safety aspects, making it a practical evaluation tool for local stakeholders. The research method used is descriptive-quantitative with three main stages: identification of impact aspects and indicators, development of a scoring and weighting matrix based on expert judgment, and application of the model to 30 simulated houses with the potential to install rooftop PLTS. Each housing unit was assessed based on the formulated indicators, then the total impact value was calculated and classified into low, medium, and high categories. The novelty of the research lies in the development of an EIA model specifically for residential-scale rooftop PLTS in Medan City, incorporating indicators such as roof temperature, water runoff, glare, building structure, social acceptance, inter-neighbor conflict, and the risks of cables, fire, and panel waste within a single integrated assessment framework. The research results show that the biophysical aspect has the highest average score (3.17), followed by the technical-safety aspect (2.95) and the socio-environmental aspect (2.77), with an average total value of 2.96 and the majority of houses falling into the medium impact category. These findings indicate that rooftop PLTS is relatively feasible for implementation in Medan's residential areas, provided there is adequate technical mitigation and social aspect management, and confirm that the developed EIA model is effective as an environmental impact assessment instrument at the micro-settlement level.

Abstract

Kemajuan teknologi manufaktur pada era Industri 4.0 telah meningkatkan kebutuhan akan sistem produksi yang mampu memberikan tingkat ketelitian tinggi, fleksibilitas operasional, serta kinerja yang terotomasi. Mesin Computer Numerical Control (CNC) menjadi solusi utama dalam memenuhi kebutuhan industri tersebut karena kemampuannya menghasilkan produk yang konsisten dan presisi. Namun demikian, tingginya biaya pengadaan dan perawatan mesin CNC komersial masih menjadi kendala utama bagi institusi pendidikan vokasi serta usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM). Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan mengimplementasikan mesin CNC drilling dan grafir berbiaya rendah dengan sistem kendali berbasis Arduino Mega 2560. Mesin yang dikembangkan menggunakan motor stepper NEMA 23 untuk menggerakkan tiga sumbu gerak (X, Y, dan Z), yang dikombinasikan dengan sistem linear rail serta mekanisme ballscrew dan lead screw guna menghasilkan pergerakan linear yang halus dan presisi. Firmware GRBL diterapkan sebagai pengendali utama dalam menerjemahkan dan mengeksekusi perintah G-code yang dihasilkan dari perangkat lunak CAD/CAM. Spindle yang digunakan adalah spindle MT370 dengan daya ±370 W yang difungsikan untuk proses grafir dan cutting dan Penerapan machining allowance sebesar −0,05 mm pada perangkat lunak Aspire terbukti mampu mengurangi deviasi dimensi dan meningkatkan presisi hasil pemesinan. Pengujian eksperimental dilakukan pada beberapa jenis material, antara lain, akrilik dan aluminium, untuk mengevaluasi kinerja sistem. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa mesin CNC yang dikembangkan mampu beroperasi secara andal, menjaga kestabilan kendali gerak, serta mencapai tingkat akurasi yang memadai untuk proses drilling dan grafir. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa mesin CNC drilling dan grafir berbasis Arduino Mega2560 yang dirancang memiliki kinerja yang cukup baik untuk keperluan pendidikan dan penelitian, serta berpotensi dikembangkan lebih lanjut untuk peningkatan presisi dan otomasi sistem serta layak digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran pada pendidikan vokasi serta sebagai alat pendukung untuk manufaktur ringan dan kegiatan prototipe.
