Authors: Zhu Baoying , Jiang Xianzhen , Wang Zhen , Song Ruifu
Published: November 2018

The desulphurization slurry flow of the coal-fired unit is usually regulated by a single PID loop that controls the pH value of the gypsum slurry. And the desulphurization system is characterized with large inertia and serious hysteresis, which often results in SO2 concentration of the outlet exceeding the standard, and leads the operators to turn the regulating valve to manual mode. The SO2 concentration of the outlet was taken into consideration into the optimized control strategy of desulphurization slurry supply introduced in this paper, and it is with the gypsum slurry pH value for cooperative control of the slurry regulating valve. Finally, the experiment proved that after the optimization of the control strategy, the desulfurization loop could be automatically put into operation for a long time, and the SO2 concentration of the outlet keeps stable, and the comprehensive utilization rate of limestone and the automation level of auxiliary equipment are significantly improved.

Published: November 2018

The liquefaction potential of a soil deposit is an important aspect to consider the stability of structure due to the earthquake. The liquefaction may also contribute to the safety of coastal constructions. The assessment of liquefaction potential can be started by having the physical properties of sandy soil that include grain size and density. Those parameters had known to give effects to the liquefaction resistance. Those physical properties of sand soil associated with liquefaction resistance must be tested in the laboratory. A case study of a real construction design in Padang, Indonesia is discussed here. The liquefaction potential was assessed using the Density-Grain size methods. The suggested solution to treat those problems is then provided. The compaction treatment to reach a certain relative density before the construction on site may avoid the liquefaction potential and save the coastal structure.

Authors: Kamei Masashi , Gingging Rahadian , Dinga Ariza , Winata Widi
Published: November 2018

Early warning systems can increase disaster management capacity. Indonesia worked out the national development policy direction of 2015 – 2019 containing establishment of early warning systems. Japan is operating early warning systems using various ICT systems. Especially an emergency warning broadcasting system to activate corresponding receivers automatically is being operated since 1985. Considering a situation in Indonesia to develop early warning systems from now, an updated early warning broadcasting system can incorporate an earthquake early warning that can provide predicted seismic intensity in each location on the basis of an observed big earthquake prior to actual shaking. The updated system can be cost-efficiently deployed nationwide in Indonesia by combining existing analog radio broadcasting of the public radio network RRI and existing loudspeakers in mosques. Because definitive operation rules need to be established to operate the early warning systems effectively, an operation scenario to provide tsunami warnings is considered as the first step for Indonesia to utilize existing its Warning Receiver System in RRI stations.

Authors: Pramono Irfan , Savitri Endang
Published: November 2018

Flash flood often occurs in West Sumatera. In spite of heavy rain, flash floods are also caused by the landslide in the riverside that blocks the river as a natural dam. The natural dam can be broken at any time, depending on storage capacity. Flash flood occurs when the dam is broken. The aim of the research is to mitigate flash floods based on parameters influencing flood and landslide. The research was conducted in Arau watershed, West Sumatera. Parameters that have a direct proportion of floods are maximum daily rainfall, watershed shape, river gradient, drainage density, slope, and land cover. Parameters influencing landslides are antecedent soil moisture, slope, geologic type especially fault line, soil depth, and land cover. GIS is used to analyze the factors influencing flood and landslide spatially. The results show that more than 50% of the Arau watershed are slightly high and high vulnerability due to its natural condition. Furthermore, the locations of fault, especially in the riverside, should be noticed because this location could become a natural dam causing flash flood. In order to reduce flash flood impact, the natural dam should be opened as soon as possible.

An assessment of Cikangkareng rockfall due to the Tasikmalaya earthquake on September 2, 2009
Authors: Anastasia Lestari Sri , Aswin Lim
Published: November 2018

The earthquake that shook Tasikmalaya - West Java on Wednesday, September 2, 2009, amounting to 7.3 on the Richter scale at 02.55 pm was one of the geological natural disasters that affected Cikangkareng village - Cibinong District, Cianjur, West Java - Indonesia. According to the Bureau of Meteorology and Geophysics (BMG), Among 30 districts in Cianjur, 15 districts have great potential for land movement. The topographic condition is a fairly steep slope of hills with an almost upright angle ± 80 - 90·. In addition, a residential area was located at the foot of the hill. Thus, the geological conditions are fragile. Based on the map of land movement vulnerability (DVMBG, 2004), the Cianjur area is categorized as a zone of high movement potential of soil which means that movement of soil is easily triggered by rainfall and earthquakes. The Tasikmalaya earthquake event triggered a landslide on a large scale and caused rockfall. The material of the site collapse consists mainly of sedimentary rocks, sandstone rocks, sandstone, breccias, sandy tuffs, and yellow spots. The mineral testing results revealed that the existing minerals are Feldspar and Cristobalite. From the result of the slake-durability, the material has medium durability. The main cause is not only the acceleration in the horizontal or vertical direction of the rocks but also the seismic force can cause an increase in the water pressure in the pores and the rock fracture can give a change of pressure in the contact field of rock joint. As a result of this, the earthquake event triggered an avalanche on a large scale and caused rockfall. Due to the contact stress decreasing drastically, practically, the friction resistance of the joint plane could be significantly reduced

Published: November 2018

The geological event that happens because of an unbalance between shear strength and shear stress on rock mass is known as a landslide. This usually occurs due to improper handling of the exposed material. The landslide occurs because of the reaction to reduce the burden it bears so that the mass of the rock will move rock mass from the higher elevation to lower elevation. Many landslides, in west java, Indonesia occurred on exposed clay shale that is protected by soldier pile with 3m in distance between pile. On top of the clay shale, there is a building which gives an additional load on the clay shale. To determine the effect of water and temperature on clay shale, static slaking index test was conducted. With a submerge variation, it was found that the slaking index value ranged from 2.17% to 12.0% with the slaking classification from very low to medium. The size distribution was produced from 1/4 and 1/2 sample submerge show bigger rock breakage than rock with 3/4 sample submerge and sample fully submerge. Observations of the sample in room temperature without contact of water and no additional mass were also done. The sample was still intact until the end of research work.

Published: November 2018

Mitigation should be the key component of DRR in the context of seismic-resistant building construction, and more specifically - housing construction, in developing countries. Although this paper is relevant to many countries some emphasis is given to the situation in Indonesia. Mitigation, the outcome of which is safer buildings, is little more than an idea at present. It is often ignored in favor of easier DRR activities which while commendable, ignore the primary problem – unsafe buildings. After a review of the current situation regarding mitigation of building earthquake damage which highlights an almost total lack of action, the paper reviews recent suggestions to improve what is a very bleak situation. Then some recent drivers for change are explored. They indicate that now is the time to begin making positive changes in local government building departments and the broader building industry. The paper then discusses several examples of where some real progress is being made before concluding with suggestions for ways forward. It is hoped that future papers addressing this topic will be more about reporting on positive, practical actions than offering suggestions.

University-Industry Partnerships (UIPs) in the field of DRR have produced several innovative tools, services, and advancements in industrial applications globally. However, from the Sri Lankan perspective, the level of UIPs appear to be significantly lower compared to the global context. In Sri Lanka, a country that has suffered a lot from natural disasters such as landslides and floods especially over the past few years, DRR activities are undertaken by the governmental and private sector organizations and volunteers, mostly as separate entities. This could lead to inefficiencies, overlapping of efforts, and also to the reinvention of the wheel. The Universities as Higher Education Institutions have a key role to play in bringing the aforementioned stakeholders together not only to strengthen the work they do by effective partnerships but also to come up with innovative solutions through research and development. The purpose of this paper is to explore how effective UIPs can be created in Sri Lanka to achieve the above by exploring; 1) current status of UIPs in Sri Lanka; 2) barriers to creating UIPs; 3) needs and opportunities for creating UIPs; 4) identifying best practices in creating strong and sustainable UIPs. The purpose will be fulfilled with the use of a literature review and by gathering stakeholder opinions. The research findings revealed that there is a need to develop a policy that addresses the aspects of knowledge diffusion, production, engagement, increasing the exposure of the academia for the industry and capacity building in universities. This is in order to tackle key barriers to creating UIPs. There is also a need for strong and effective leadership initiatives from universities to ensure sustainability of UIPs in Sri Lanka.

The updated information about the disaster situation is one of the crucial aspects for people who live in hazardous areas. The community radio is one of the communication media which is required by the community to receive the fast and accurate information its updated condition of the disasters. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of community radio for supporting disaster preparedness activities. This study was conducted based on the qualitative descriptive approach where the respondents are the community, the managers of community radio and the Non-Government Organization of Combine Resources Institution. The data for the qualitative analysis was obtained by interviews, fills the questionnaires, and observation of the above respondents. The result of this study shows the high effectiveness of the community radio for supporting the disaster preparedness, i.e. 63.6 %. Its effectiveness is influenced by the utilization, management and economy impact of the community radio. The community radio which is established by the community is more effective to use compare others communities. Each community knows what they need to maintain their lives. The community also gives a positive response to present the community radio. Its positive response results in the ability of the community to adapt to the community radio. The community requirement which is followed by the response and their adaptation encourage the community to use community radio in more effective.

This research tried to detect a burned area that occurred in the mountainous region of Java Island. During this time, forest and land fires mostly occur in lowland areas in Sumatra and Kalimantan. However, it is possible that this phenomenon also occurs in mountainous regions, especially the mountainous regions of Java Island. The data used were Landsat-8, the latest generation of the Landsat series. The research location was on the Northeast slope of Mt. Ijen in East Java. The research methods include radiometric correction, data fusion, sample training retrieval, reflectance pattern analysis, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) extraction, separability analysis, parameter selection for burned area detection, parameter test, and evaluation. The results show that ρ5 and NBRL parameter shows the highest values of D-values (most sensitive), to detect the burned area. Then, compared to ρ5, NDVI and NBRS, Normalized Burn Ratio long (NBRL) provide better results in detecting burned areas.
Vulnerability by people: lesson learned from vulnerable group in kampong aur medan in facing floods
Authors: Katherina Luh Kitty , Pradipta Lengga
Published: November 2018

The flooding in Medan due to heavy rainfall area has become a daily problem to the community who lives in the riverbanks. It has been happening since many decades ago, but they are still there. Information on the vulnerability to natural hazards on a local level may help decision makers, stakeholders, and others to make better decisions regarding an effective disaster management. This study uses a qualitative approach to measure the level of vulnerability of communities in facing floods. The study identified how the communities perceive their exposure to the hazard, their sensitivity and their adaptive capacity. This study found the community already accept floods as a part of their life although the floods cause many losses. The experience in facing floods, strong social neighbourhood and strong local leadership are the capitals of the communities to survive. So vulnerability assessment at the community level should be constructed based on the perception and meaning of the community.
Local wisdom based disaster education in Minangkabau society
Authors: Damsar  , Indrayani
Published: November 2018

This paper discusses how local wisdom is the basis for disaster education in Minangkabau society. Local wisdom forms the stock of knowledge and practices which is deemed wise and sensible to the various environmental problems, including the issue of disaster. This research aims to find the source of learning of local wisdom and its implementation on disaster management in Minangkabau society. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach, where in-depth interview and observation as data collection tool. In-depth interviewees are 29 people, i.e. 20 people come from ordinary people and 9 people come from leaders (traditional, religious, and community leaders). Observations were conducted on a variety social institutions that contribute to disaster education through various emergency response and recovery activities after the Padang earthquake on September 30, 2009. Data analyses are based on Miles and Huberman models. The results of the research show there are 5 learning resources from Minangkabau local institutions, namely family, “lapau” (traditional coffee house), “surau” (prayer house), “tapian tampek mandi” (the local public bath), and traditional art performances. Through these 5 institutions, the Minangkabau have sources of local wisdom values to face disasters. In case of a disaster, local wisdom is implemented in house construction through the tradition of “gotong-royong” (mutual help), especially in rural areas strengthened by fund-raising based on villages, tribes, and regions by Minang people in overseas.

On the period of September to December 2017, three pilot projects were implemented in Tonga, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Islands aiming to strengthen the multi-hazards early warning system in the respective countries through close collaboration between the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) and United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP). Main activities during the implementation phase were tailored based on gap analysis and risk assessments conducted beforehand. Thus, installation of high-resolution numerical weather, ocean wave, and climate prediction and forecasting tools were chosen to fill in the assessed gaps. These activities were incorporated with capacity building activities and high-level meetings with related stakeholders in disaster risk management using the concept of Fast-Leveraging-Easy-Economical-Sustain (FLEES). All three pilot projects had successfully proven to achieve their objectives by improving the capacities of National Meteorological Services in those three countries to produce multi-hazards early warning in higher resolution at a regional scale for disaster management in their respective countries.
