Abstract

Climate change is a global issue that is of concern to the world. One of the impacts of climate change is sea level rise. Rising sea levels can cause tidal floods, especially in coastal areas. Based on data from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), one evidence of climate change is an increase in sea level. Satellite altimetry measurements show a trend of sea level rise in Indonesia from 1992-2022 averaging around 4 mm/year. Rising sea levels have an impact on increasing the frequency of coastal flooding, retreating coastlines, and the disappearance of national borders. The city of Surabaya is one of the coastal cities in Indonesia which has the potential to experience an increase in the height of tidal floods due to climate change. The potential for tidal floods due to climate change could harm the spatial planning of coastal areas in Surabaya. The results of this research show that the coast of Surabaya has a moderate level of tidal flood vulnerability with an area of 8230.77 ha, a high category with an area of 1739.21 ha, and a very high category with an area of 178.13 ha. The area is dominant from most of the coast of the Semampir subdistrict to Benowo and the border of the Bulak and Mulyorejo subdistricts. Tidal floods can cause the submergence of productive lands, such as settlements, fish farms, and warehouses. This can cause economic and social losses for coastal communities. Therefore, adaptation efforts are needed to reduce the impact of tidal floods due to climate change. These adaptation efforts can be carried out through improving spatial planning and environmental planning for coastal areas.

Abstract

Background: The Ciliwung River is one of the most important rivers in Tatar Pasundan, especially because it passes through the capital city of DKI Jakarta and often causes annual floods in its downstream areas. The length of this river reaches almost 120 km and passes through several areas, including Bogor Regency, Bogor City, Depok City, and DKI Jakarta Province. High rainfall is one of the factors that often causes flooding in areas around rivers. Methods: This research aims to analyze the management of flood disasters that occur due to the overflow of the Ciliwung River. The analysis carried out by the author used qualitative methods with a literature review. Findings: The results obtained from the literature review of several journals, namely flood management on the Ciliwung River, cannot still be said to be completely successful. This is because several factors trigger floods that have not yet been resolved and appropriate solutions are needed for flood-prone areas so that they can be revitalized so that they can provide direct benefits to the community.  Conclusion: The study highlights the persistent challenges in managing flood disasters caused by the overflow of the Ciliwung River. Despite various efforts, flood management in the Ciliwung River Basin has not been entirely successful. Several unresolved factors continue to trigger flooding, indicating the need for more effective and sustainable solutions. The revitalization of flood-prone areas is essential to mitigate the impact and provide direct benefits to the affected communities. Novelty/Originality of the Article: Unlike previous studies that focus on specific technical solutions, this research highlights the need for holistic revitalization of flood-prone areas, considering socio-environmental factors to enhance community resilience and sustainable flood mitigation strategies.

Abstract

Background: Construction projects, especially apartment buildings, often face challenges such as resource limitations, unpredictable weather, and schedule delays, which lead to increased costs and reduced productivity. Overtime is a commonly adopted strategy to address these issues; however, its effect on labor productivity is complex. Methods: This study investigates the impact of varying overtime durations (1, 2, and 3 hours) on labor productivity and Labour Utilization Rate (LUR) for three critical tasks: rebar installation, concrete casting, and formwork installation in the Sky House Alam Sutera project. The Productivity Rating method and LUR analysis were used to evaluate normal productivity and productivity during overtime, with data collected through direct observation, interviews, and project documentation analysis. Findings: The results reveal that while overtime increases daily output, it also reduces productivity per hour as work hours extend. Rebar installation exhibited the most significant decline in productivity, from 493.529 kg/hour  during regular hours to 345.470 kg/hour with 3 hours of overtime. Correspondingly, the LUR improved with overtime, with rebar installation increasing from 68% under normal conditions to 72% with 3 hours of overtime. Similarly, the cost of labor increased by 9%–23% due to overtime, depending on the task and duration. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the optimal overtime duration is 1 hour, balancing productivity gains, cost efficiency, and LUR improvements, while prolonged overtime may lead to diminishing returns due to worker fatigue. This study provides insights into managing overtime in construction projects, emphasizing the importance of controlling overtime durations to achieve project objectives efficiently. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers an original perspective by examining the impact of varying overtime durations on both labor productivity and Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) in the context of construction projects, using a detailed analysis of three critical tasks.

Abstract

Background: Landslides are one of the most dangerous geological disasters in the world due to the movement of earth material caused by gravity. Landslides also threaten the environment, property, and human life risks in high-risk areas. This study compares how landslide characteristics impact evacuation planning in Indonesia and various other countries. Methods: Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of studies published between 2019 and 2024, this research examines landslide characteristics that prompt community evacuation responses, such as landslide triggers, physical conditions, and the number of people affected. Findings: Findings reveal that while Indonesia and other high-risk countries face substantial landslide risks, challenges remain in enhancing disaster preparedness, including evacuation planning to minimize casualties. Physical characteristics and the preparedness of early warning systems are crucial in shaping community responses to landslides. This case study illustrates how a combination of steep slopes over 40 degrees, heavy rainfall intensity of more than 200 mm in one week, weak soil textures, and dense vegetation can trigger devastating landslides. However, landslides triggered by seismic activity result in significantly higher fatalities, and special attention is needed in areas prone to landslides and earthquakes, as happened in Nepal (highland and mountainous climate). In China (subtropic region), landslides are primarily triggered by moisture-saturated soils, which are vulnerable to ground motion, particularly during prolonged rainfall. In Indonesia as tropical region, landslides triggering evacuation predominantly occur in areas with highly erodible and unstable soils, exacerbated by high rainfall. Conclusion: Evacuation planning must be more adaptive and supported by GIS technology to identify high-risk areas. Globally, evacuation success relies on infrastructure, community awareness, and disaster preparedness. Novelty/Originality of thid article: This study highlights the importance of crisis management strategies tailored to the specific landslide characteristics of each region, as well as the crucial role of community involvement and technology in ensuring effective evacuations.

Abstract

Background: Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is game-changing in the AEC industry. BIM can significantly improve team coordination, construction productivity, project performance, and profits. The conventional construction process, where there are often conflicts between stakeholders regarding the workflow in a job, will change with the application of BIM in construction projects. In the construction sector in Indonesia, the knowledge and experience of construction service provider companies (consultants and contractors) in Indonesia needs to be studied and documented academically to enrich the body of knowledge of BIM implementation. Methods: The data used in this study are primary data obtained through questionnaires.  The data used in this study are quantitative data processed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method with SmartPLS 4.0 software. Conclusion: From the results of this study, it is concluded that the implementation factor has a significant influence on Building Information Modeling (BIM). Based on the outer model analysis of the SmartPLS 4.0 software, it is found that the greatest influence of the implementation factor relationship on Building Information Modeling (BIM) is 0.757 or it can be said that it is 75.7%. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a unique contribution by focusing on the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the Indonesian construction sector, particularly through the lens of construction service providers' knowledge and experience, using a robust quantitative approach with SmartPLS 4.0 to analyze the influence of implementation factors on BIM adoption.

Abstract

Background: Forests play a crucial role in sustaining the environment, economy, and society by acting as carbon sinks that help mitigate climate change and maintain ecosystem balance. However, forest fires remain a growing global concern, including Indonesia. One significant fire occurred in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS) in 2023, sparked by human negligence during a pre-wedding photoshoot. The fire damaged 1,487 hectares of land and threatened local biodiversity and ecosystems. TNBTS is home to over 1,000 plant species and holds cultural significance for the Tengger Community, who depend on its resources for their livelihoods. The research examines the environmental, economic, and social impacts of fire, using a quantitative research approach. Mentods: The methodology uses quantitative analysis using Landsat 8 imagery to assess fire severity. The Delta Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR) is used to assess fire damage, while vegetation density is analyzed using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to ensure data reliability. Findings: The fire caused significant environmental damage. Economically, the tourism sector was severely affected, with the park’s closure for 13 days leading to an 80% drop in hotel occupancy, resulting in an estimated loss of IDR 89.76 billion. Socially, the Tengger people suffered, as the fire damaged sacred sites and disrupted their cultural practices. Also, it increases the stress and anxiety of society that depends on tourism and agriculture. Public concern about the incident underscored the importance of responsible behavior in national parks, this can be seen by Google Trend. Conclusion: Although signs of recovery are evident, the long-term ecological and economic impacts require continued assessment and mitigation efforts to ensure the sustainable future of TNBTS. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article offers a novel analysis of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park fire by integrating remote sensing data with environmental, economic, and social impacts, including the unique use of Google Trends to measure public concern.
