LAND SUBSIDENCE AND GEOTECHNICAL IMPACT OF JAKARTA KOTA AREA
Get PDFLand subsidence has long occurred around the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. It is important to know and deal with Land subsidence events which also cause various negative impacts. Aim: When large amounts of groundwater are withdrawn from certain types of rocks, such as fine-grained sediments, land subsidence occurs. The rock compacts because the water helps to keep the ground in place. When the water is removed, the rocks collapse in on themselves.The immediate impact is the building collapse around the Kota Tua of DKI Jakarta. Methodology and Results: The research method used is a quantitative descriptive survey method by observing the amount of land subsidence that occurs in the Kota Tua area and its surroundings. The results showed that there has been a vertical land subsidence that varies between 20-60 cm. Based on the results of the resistivity values and coordinates plotted on the Regional Geological Map (Jakarta and Kep Seribu), the research location is classified into Lithology: Clay, Sand Silt, Gravel, and Pebbles (Quartenary deposits). The phenomenon, land subsidence, is caused by a combination of various parameters, including natural consolidation of alluvial soils, excessive groundwater extraction, and also building loads from infrastructure development and tectonic factors. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: Knowing the value of land subsidence and its location is expected to support urban planning, basic infrastructure planning and development, housing, settlement planning, and local financial improvement in efforts to mitigate land subsidence disasters

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE STUDY IN INDUSTRIAL AREA SIER SURABAYA
Get PDFPart of Surabaya Industrial Estate Rungkut (SIER) Area is planned to become Central Business District (CBD) in accordance with the direction of the Surabaya City Government. The land use is changed due to the decrease of carrying capacity of the infrastructure in the environment around SIER, caused by density increase since Middle East Ring Road (MERR) was opened in 2012. In addition, some of the areas that became CBD areas are part of the PT SIER area (97.4 Ha). Aim: This study was aimed to determine alternative land functions. Methodology and results: Since CBD is generally dominated by commercial properties, this research focuses on commercial property development programs carried out within the scope of the Highest and Best Use (HBU) Study. This research was conducted through location, site, and market analysis, completed with recommendation for property type in SIER location. Conclusion, significance and impact study: Based on macro market analysis, supply of retail, hotel and apartment property is increasing, while supply of office is decreasing. The results of this study are the best and highest value proposals for the development of commercial property functions (apartments, offices, shopping areas, and hotels), so that the investment is not high risk. In addition, the result can be used as a policy orientation for all interested parties, especially PT SIER in the development of CBD in its area, related to the development stage that is adjusted to the interests and market conditions
THE ECO ENZYME APPLICATION ON INDUSTRIAL WASTE ACTIVATED SLUDGE DEGRADATION
Get PDFAim: This study aims to determine whether the application of eco enzyme affects the industrial waste activated sludge degradation and to compare the effects of eco enzyme made from oranges and tomatoes. Methodology and results: The experiments were done on the laboratory scale for 12 days by applying 10% of eco enzyme in the sludge samples. It showed both tomatoes and oranges eco enzymes can decrease the pH from 6.9 to 4.7 compared to control which was stable at 6.9.

ANALYSIS OF WASTE BANK MANAGEMENT MODEL AROUND LAKE TONDANO TOURISM OBJECT IN SUPPORTING SUSTAINABLE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFUnmanaged waste can cause various problems of environmental damage including threatening tourism development. The current waste problem is quite worrying because it can have a direct impact on humans, such as the entry of plastic elements into the human body through fish or food exposed to microplastics. Aim: The waste bank around Lake Tondano tourism object was studied qualitatively with the aim of describing the waste bank management mechanism to be used as a model for developing a waste bank to support sustainable tourism development. Methodogy and Results: The research data was obtained through field research through observations and interviews with waste banks around the Tondano lake tourist attraction, in this case the Mapalus waste bank located in Papakelan Village. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: The results show that the current form of waste bank management on the shores of Lake Tondano is a waste bank that is purely managed by the community. The form of management is to collect waste from the community by first going through a sorting process. After sorting, organic waste is used as fertilizer and inorganic waste is made into valuable products and can be used as souvenirs for tourists. The waste bank program can reduce the increase in waste directly from the source. In addition, the waste bank can produce new products and provide benefits to the community. The waste bank is also a solution in the context of developing tourism on the coast of Lake Tondano
