The Role of Teachers in Preparedness Students Level Facing Tsunami Disasters
Get PDFSchools in tsunami-prone areas have a very high-level disaster vulnerability. Disaster mitigation must be given adequately by the school to students in improving their preparedness, for instance in the infrastructure aspect, such as building disaster friendly schools which are completed by provision signs for disaster evacuation routes, as well as providing early warning system. Furthermore, the skill of human resources in facing disaster situation needs to be involved. In the school environment, the majority of the population was dominated by the students. It will be at high risk if the students are not aware of the tsunami disaster. Teacher factors significantly influence the increase in tsunami preparedness of students. This study explored the role of the teacher in the students' preparedness in dealing with the tsunami disaster. The research used the quantitative descriptive method. Primary and secondary data were collected using a survey. The population of the study was the teachers and the elementary, secondary, upper secondary school students in the Pangandaran District. Students' preparedness were examined by Carter, LIPI, and UNESCO parameter. Results of the research showed that the students’ preparedness score is 8,16 (highly significant) for elementary school, 5,86 (less significant) and 5,52 (less significant) consecutively for secondary and upper secondary school. The high score role of an elementary school teacher of the preparedness of the students caused by the personal closeness between teachers and students so that the student comprehend the learning materials effectively. Nevertheless, the lack of teacher attention personally to students and the lack of teacher understanding about disaster awareness, especially tsunami, were considered as the main factors that cause low students’ scores. Providing the training to the teacher about disaster preparedness, which held by the local government (Education Department), is one of the alternatives that we can do to equip the students in improving their preparedness to the tsunami

An Analysis of Land Use Change, Spatial Plan and Regional Development Level in Bogor City
Get PDFAbstract
Bogor City is located 60 kms from the Indonesian Capital Jakarta and 120 kms from Bandung the capital of West Java Province. Strategic agricultural land and inexpensive land prices have to invest in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. Land use conversion is inevitable, although the government has set up the regulation to control land usage (Act No 26 year 2007). This research are conducted: (1) To analyze existing land use of Bogor City (land use in 2014). (2) To analyze the land use change in period of 2005-2012. (3) To analyze the consistency of existing land use compare to spatial allocation in the RTRW of Bogor City. (4) To identify regional development hierarchy levels in Bogor City. (5) To determine factors that influence land use change. This research was started with a land use map that was retrieved from an administrative map 1: 5000 scales to Iconos image of Bogor City in years of 2005 and 2012. Consistency and inconsistency were obtained by overlaying the 2012 land use map and land allocation map of Bogor City years 2011-2031 (RTRW map). PODES is used to determine the regional hierarchy level by multiple regression methods. Existing land use classified into 9 land use, in sequence from the largest one are: mixed garden, irreguler settlement, rice field, reguler settlement, trading area, water body, dryland farm, open land and government office area. Dryland farm land use changes into 2 land use, open field land use change into 6 land use and rice field land use change into 6 land use. The consistent use of the existing land use compare to RTRW is 40.95% while inconsistence existing land use is 59.05%. During the period of 2006 to 2012, most of the regional development hierarchies in Bogor City were relatively constant (42 villages / 61.8%), 12 villages (17.6%) are increasing in the hierarchy, whereas 14 villages (20.6%) are decreasing in the hierarchy. Factors that influencing land use change of Bogor City in the period of 2005-2012 are: the extent of agricultural land in 2005, the growth of social facilities, and the growth of economy facilities.
