    A coastal protection structure mostly built to protect human from the detructive wind and wave energy. The various option of type and design has been invented in the development. This study investigates the impact of seawall development in Pambusuang Village, West Sulawesi. This study will examine the fishery activity change after the development of seawall. The benefit and disadvantages of the seawall structure to the community also as well as the community response to address the impact of seawall development will be explored in this study. A mix quantitave and qualitative approach is used in this study. A set of questionnare has been distributed and structured interview to selected infromant were also conducted. The study found that fishermen has changed their docking behavior due to the limited area to docking. Moreover, the respondent believes that seawall has properly function to halt erosion, protect their house and other infrastructure from the wave attack. The other issues is the disharmony between pro and contra seawall development, inundated river flow and damage of natural habitat. The response of the community to addressing some impact of the seawall development such as their adaptation to the sloping gate between the seawall, the use of traditional anti fouling painting and their suggestion to construct breakwater disattached from the shoreline. The findings above has been formed the basis of recommendations to have a participatory development approach and experience sharing between the parties in the community to adapt with the impact of seawall development

    Kapal perikanan umumnya dirancang dengan misi untuk menemukan, menangkap dan melestarikan ikan. Hal ini menjadikan kapal perikanan memiliki parameter desain yang berbeda dibanding kapal niaga pada umumnya. Sebagaimana fungsi kapal perikanan dalam operasinya yaitu mengejar dan melingkari jaring (purse-seine) serta menangkap ikan menjadikan kemampuan manuver kapal perikanan sangat penting. Kapal perikanan harus memiliki konfigurasi sistem propulsi yang handal guna tercapainya dorongan dari propeller yang maksimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh jarak rudder dari propeller terhadap kemampuan thrust pada sistem propulsi kapal perikanan, serta menentukan peletakan rudder terhadap propeller yang paling optimal pada kapal menggunakan pendekatan CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic). Variasi jarak rudder terhadap propeller yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini antara 5% diameter propeller (0.04 m) sampai 100% diameter propeller (0.80 m). Dari hasil simulasi diperoleh bahwa nilai thrust paling baik terjadi pada variasi 20% diameter propeller (0.16 m) yaitu sebesar 16,243 N atau 5% lebih besar dibanding rata-rata nilai thrust yang diperoleh pada variasi jarak yang lain

    Subsea x-tree is located at the seabed and contain hydrocarbon. The water depth for subsea operation exceed 1000 m which make it impossible for mankind to do the maintenance tasks at the seabed. Usually, the maintenance operation is done by using Remotely-Operated-Vehicle (ROV) and the cost to operate using ROV is high. Thus, subsea x-tree need to be free from any malfunction or damage. Dropped object or trawling gear from fishing activities are the objects that can collide with the subsea x-tree. This type of collision can cause significant damage and may result in hydrocarbon release. Subsea x-tree need to be equipment with a protective structure so that it can withstand the impact of collision from the dropped object or trawling gear. In this project, a protective structure was design by following NORSORK U-001 and U-002 standards together with the improvement design from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) protective cover from HighComp. The speed for commercial trawling activities is around 2 to 4 knots. The designed protective structure is able to withstand that amount of impact up to the safety factor of 3. The protective structure also equipped with the to resist trawling gear from fishing activities

    Get PDF
    The major challenges related to water security today are efforts to reduce flood risk; and efforts to increase water supply for communities, industry and agriculture. The ecohydrological approach is present as a solution to these two challenges. On the other hand, the ecological problem with the issue of water security in it has developed over time and awaits real action by the government. In a political framework, ecological issues have been considered marginal and lacking in priority instead of being dominated by other fields, such as economy, law, and infrastructure. In fact, the government is to be committed to promoting eco-friendly development. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, leadership that cares about the environment as a manifestation of ecological politics is a necessity, and is expected to be present both substantially and factually. With the spirit of ecological leadership, strengthening the environmental sector will be on par with other sectors.  Keywords: water security, eco-friendly development, ecological politics, ecological leadership.   &nbsp

    Due to the rapid development in Malaysia, area that can be considered as suitable soil which has high resistance to support the structure naturally has becoming increasingly rare. This phenomenon has force engineers to works in soft ground with high compressibility layer. The main risk for development on soft soil is settlement. There are many researches that have been conducted in order to overcome this problem. Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD) is one of the methods used to accelerate the settlement, hence made it more suitable for development. This study aims to presents a case study of field data associated to settlement of treated marine clay soil using PVD with different spacing with finite element analysis. Data obtained from site instrumentation will be analysed by Asoaka method and shall be compared with PLAXIS 2D simulation analysis. The result shows that PVD was able to accelerate the consolidation process and suitable to be used as soft ground improvement technique. The rate of settlement was inversely proportional with the drain spacing. Based on the series of modelling it was proved that the prefabricated vertical drain is an effective method for increasing ground stability by accelerate the consolidation process thus suitable to be used as soft ground improvement technique and different PVD spacing affect the soil settlements analysis in term of settlement rate and excess pore water pressure
