Abstract

On the history of humanity, multiple approaches and methods have been conducted to determine reliable formula on predicting when and where the earth would release its seismic pulse. Many quests have been conducted for more than century to forecast the quake occurrence, yet failed to meet the expectation for long run prediction. Earthquake in a simple term is defined as convulsion on the earth’s surface. Based on its trigger, the quake could be classified into two namely seismic activity and tremor. A vast horseshoe area covers 40,000 km square in the shore of pacific ocean is notorious for its title as The Ring of fire (ROF); an area that has been experiencing continuous series of lithosphere seismic activities. Living within the geologically active area, Bali as part of Indonesia since ancient times seemed to experience multiple quakes. While most research relentlessly sought to predict the earthquake accurately, Balinese local wisdom claimed to be ably predicting the aftereffect of earthquake as compiled in Palelindon manuscript. The script proposed detailed explanation of earthquake effect on nature that subsequently affects human behaviour. This idea may seem as old myth, and could not be suggested publicly worldwide as scientific explanation. Balinese life is firmly bound by local belief and custom. Nevertheless, the text explanation occasionally is taken into account as precaution to prepare any upcoming upheaval on the island.

Abstract

Indonesia is planning to shift its astronomical number of fossil-fueled vehicles to electric-based. The implementation started from Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019 issuance concerning the Battery Electric Vehicle Program Acceleration for Road Transportation to stop air pollution ultimately. Whereas in Bali, Governor Wayan Koster issued governor regulations number 45 & 48 of 2019 to serve as the legal basis for Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure development. To stimulate the Bali island's eco-friendly atmosphere, PT Jasamarga Bali Tol, who manages Bali Mandara Toll Road (Nusa Dua - Ngurah Rai - Benoa), launched a Public Electric Vehicle Charging Station. The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) also requested PT Pertamina (Persero) to produce electric car batteries instead of only fossil fuels. For the electric vehicle battery concept, State-owned Minister Erick Thohir has negotiated with international battery manufacturers. Private companies are also involved in promoting eco-friendly vehicles, such as Grab collaborated with Bali Main Distribution Unit (UID), Bali Province Transportation Agency, PT Pegadaian, Astra Honda Motor, and Panasonic. Then, the Japanese car manufacturer, Toyota, plans to develop the Electric Vehicle Smart Mobility project in Bali to support Nusa Dua, Bali's ecotourism ecosystem. Although EV would help reduce air pollution, The Central Government must inspect the electric vehicle power source since most power plants in Indonesia are coal-fired power stations (PLTU). To solely depend on electric vehicle usage would not have a tremendous impact.
