Persepsi Masyarakat Mengenai Prioritas Pembangunan Infrastruktur Desa Berbasis Mitigasi Bencana (Studi Kasus Nagari/Desa Inderapura Selatan)

Bencana merupakan masalah global saat ini. Khususnya di Indonesia, Perspektif penanggulangan bencana telah memasuki paradigma baru, dari sebelumnya hanya terfokus pada kegiatan tanggap darurat saja, kini juga memakai pendekatan mitigasi dan kesiapsiagaan. Mitigasi dan kesiapsiagaan dilakukan pada saat tidak terjadi bencana. Mitigasi atau penanggulangan bencana perlu dipadukan dengan upaya-upaya pengurangan risiko bencana kedalam pembangunan demi keberlanjutan serta pengarusutamaan pengurangan risiko bencana ke dalam perencanaan program dan kegiatan desa. Dengan kata lain analisis risiko bencana harus menjadi salah satu dasar dalam perencanan pembangunan yang berkelanjutan. Pembangunan sarana dan prasarana untuk penanggulangan bencana juga merupakan salah satu prioritas pembangunan desa. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan teknik pengambilan data berupa kuesioner untuk mengetahui bagaimana persepsi masyarakat mengenai perencanaan pembangunan infrastruktur yang berdasarkan bencana. Seluruh responden setuju untuk memasukkan aspek kebencanaan sebagai salah satu pertimbangan dalam merangking program kegiatan pembangunan infrastruktur desa. Namun, perencanaan pembangunan infrastruktur desa yang telah dilaksanakan belum mempertimbangkan aspek penanggulangan bencana

Community Perceptions towards the causes of flood in Air Pacah Area, Padang City, Indonesia

There is a rapid development in Air Pacah area since 1999. This area used to be a remote are and a retarding basin of Oadang City. In 2011, it was designated as the new head quarter complex for Padang City goverment. One of the negative impact of its development was the increase of flood frequency. In order to mitigare the flood, goverment conducted a flood control project at Maransi River which passes this area. However, this project has not completed yet due to land acquisition problem Accordingly, this paper aims to identify community perception on flood causes and into what extent the flood control project has benifited the community. Thirty semi-structure interviews were conducted between May and October 2015 and analysed using descriptive statistic and content analysis method. It was found that community feel that there has been an increase in flood frequency, flood depth, and flood duration. There are four dominant factors that have significant impact on flood, rain duration, lowinfiltration area, massive construction of real estates and offices, and bad drainage system. Community who live exacly next to the construction site has benefited from the flood control project, on the other hand community at the upstream has not feel the positive impact yet because the construction halted due to land aquisation problem. As a result, it is strongly recomended that goverment to immediately acquire the land needed for the flood control Project. Keywords: community perception, flood, flood causes, flood control, land acquisatio

Construction Industry Ignorance to Disaster Risk Reduction

Although experts have identified ignorance as one of the problems in implementing disaster risk reduction, studies on this subject are still relatively small. This paper aims to explore the concept of ignorance about disaster management and construction project management. Ignorance arises as a result of differences in characteristics between disaster management and infrastructure project management about disasters. Disaster management focuses on the issue of uncertainty while construction project management is accustomed to ensuring everything through detailed calculations to optimize limited resources. In contrast, construction project management handles problems through short or medium term solutions while disaster management usually talks about long-term and continuous programs. These differences lead to different perspectives and create mental-blocked for construction industry players to implement disaster risk reduction. Ignorance is also influenced by personal factors, namely motivation and intention. Motivation can be either internal or external. The internal motivation is related to personal pleasure, interest, comfort, and satisfaction while the external one is related to somebody’s efforts to achieve specific goals, getting awards, avoiding punishment or other negative consequences. This paper shows that currently the relationship between the construction industry management and disaster management focuses more on technical and policy aspects. That is the reason why this paper suggests that construction industry player also needs to learn about human behaviors in order to understand the conflicts that might arise between the two due to the personal factors of the actors. These three subjects are similarly essential and complementary to each other. Ignorance to disaster risk reduction is a product of human behavior. Therefore, ignoring the human-interest subject will make the construction industry player having difficulties in implementing disaster risk reduction concept

Study of the skills of construction labours in building construction projects in Padang City

Labor is one of the most important elements of a construction projects. This is attributed to their role as technical workforce that involved in the construction projects from the start to the end of the projects. Therefore, the projects require a workforce with good competence. Competence of direct labor can be verified with certification. However, from National Statistics Beaureu (BPS) data indicates that less than 10% of direct labor has certification. This study aims to measure the level of competence of direct workforce skills and know the factors that cause the workforce does not have a skill certificate.
