Abstract: Adaptive reuse in general is modifying a place for the function proposed or adapted to the existing function. Studies on the benefits of Adaptive Reuse are considered capable of providing three benefits such as, environmental aspects, social aspects and economic aspects and if associated with the context of disaster mitigation, the application of Adaptive Reuse is an alternative strategy in providing temporary shelter. The selection of Denpasar City as a research location is based on several considerations such as, the high number of unused buildings, strategic locations and infrastructure in accommodating refugees from outside the region and challenges to the lack of green land as a place of refuge. This study examines old buildings that begin with an understanding of evaluation criteria, the second stage is mapping and measuring old buildings which will be categorized based on the type of building, the third stage is building valuation. The results of the study obtained four buildings that were feasible to be used as temporary dwellings, namely, hotel lodging facilities on Jalan Puputan, Renon; sports facilities and parks namely Gor Kompyang Sujana on the road of Mt. Agung No.160 Pemecutan Kaja ; commercial facility building, namely the Shopping Block at Dewi Sartika Street, Dauh Puri Klod ; and cultural and entertainment facilities, namely Ardha Candra open stage at Nusa Indah No.1 street, Panjer.Keywords: Adaptive Reuse; Natural Disaster; Temporary Shelter, Denpasar City.Abstrak: Adaptive reuse secara umum yaitu memodifikasi sebuah tempat untuk fungsi yang diusulkan atau disesuaikan dengan fungsi eksisting. Kajian-kajian megenai manfaat Adaptive reuse dinilai mampu memberikan tiga manfaat yaitu, aspek lingkungan, aspek sosial dan aspek ekonomi dan jika dikaitkan dengan konteks mitigasi bencana, penerapan Adaptive reuse adalah strategi alternatif dalam penyediaan hunian sementara. Pemilihan Kota Denpasar sebagai lokasi penelitian yang didasari oleh beberapa pertimbangan seperti, tingginya jumlah bangunan yang tak terpakai, lokasi dan infrastruktur yang strategis dalam mengakomodasi pengungsi dari luar daerah dan tantangan terhadap minimnya lahan hijau sebagai tempat pengungsian.  Penelitian ini mengkaji bangunan tua yang dimulai dengan pemahaman kriteria evaluasi, tahap kedua yaitu pemetaan dan pengukuran bangunan tua yang akan di kategorikan berdasarkan tipe bangunan, tahap ketiga yaitu penilaian bangunan. Hasil penelitian memperoleh empat bangunan yang layak untuk digunakan sebagai tempat tinggal sementara yaitu, bangunan dan fasilitas penginapan hotel di jalan Raya Puputan, Renon, Denpasar; bangunan fasilitas olahraga dan taman yaitu Gor Kompyang Sujana di jalan Gn. Agung No.160 Pemecutan Kaja, Denpasar; bangunan fasilitas komersial yaitu Blok Pertokoan di jalan Dewi Sartika, Dauh Puri Klod, Denpasar; dan bangunan fasilitas budaya dan hiburan yaitu panggung terbuka Ardha Candra di jalan Nusa Indah No.1, Panjer, Denpasar.Kata Kunci: Penggunaan Kembali, Bencana Alam, Hunian Sementara, Kota Denpasar.

Landslides are a very dangerous threat to the roads. Good management is required to prevent the problems occurring from extensive possible landslides. This is because the number of potential landslide points on the National roads are numerous. Maintenance and prevention are crucial to keep these disasters from occurring. Therefore these need to be a priority. The locations in question are: The National Road in the Provence of North Sumatra, the area of Satker PJN Ill (Satuan Kerja Pelaksanaan Jalan Nasional III) and The Satker PJN IV (Satuan Kerja Pelaksanaan Jalan Nasional IV). There are 26 roads in the Satker PJN III and IV areas with 34 that have occurred. The method that is used in this study is the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). Method using two stages: The first stage is to analyze the level of landslide hazard on the road. The second stage is to determine the priority level for the handling of each landslide point for each section of the road. The parameters used determining the level of landslide hazard are: Soil, slope, landcover, rainfall, subgrade and drainage conditions, at the same time as using the landslide hazard perimeters, landslide dimensions, slope engineering and every day traffic

The ideal of the self-driving car replaces an error-prone human with an infallible, artificially intelligent driver. This narrative of autonomy promises liberation from the downsides of automobility, even if that means taking control away from autonomous, free-moving individuals. We look behind this narrative to understand the attachments that so-called ‘autonomous’ vehicles (AVs) are likely to have to the world. Drawing on 50 interviews with AV developers, researchers and other stakeholders, we explore the social and technological attachments that stakeholders see inside the vehicle, on the road and with the wider world. These range from software and hardware to the behaviours of other road users and the material, social and economic infrastructure that supports driving and self-driving. We describe how innovators understand, engage with or seek to escape from these attachments in three categories: ‘brute force’, which sees attachments as problems to be solved with more data, ‘solve the world one place at a time’, which sees attachments as limits on the technology’s reach and ‘reduce the complexity of the space’, which sees attachments as solutions to the problems encountered by technology developers. Understanding attachments provides a powerful way to anticipate various possible constitutions for the technology.

While many English archaeological travelers visited Avebury, Stonehenge, and other monuments at home, the more affluent traveled the classical lands. By the eighteenth century, the so-called “grand tour,” a leisurely journey through Europe, became an essential part of a gentleman’s education. Typically, the oldest son of a well-off family went abroad to complete his education, often with a tutor both to instruct and to keep an eye on his charge: “If a young man is wild, and must run after women and bad company, it is better he should do so abroad.” At first these tours were a form of education for courtiers and career diplomats, meant to train a young gentleman to take his place in a world where mere patriotism was not enough. But they soon became a kind of finishing school for the aristocracy. “Sir,” pronounced Dr. Samuel Johnson, “a man who has not been to Italy is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see. The grand object of travelling is to see the shores of the Mediterranean.” Until the late sixteenth century, the journey through Europe was both dangerous and uncomfortable, thanks to bandits, smallpox epidemics, robbers, and appalling conditions on the road. There was also a danger of being seized by the Inquisition as a Protestant, especially at Easter, when the authorities watched for those who failed to take the sacrament. In 1592 and 1595, the pope complained at the number of English heretics who traveled to Venice. Travel for pleasure was by this time fashionable. By 1700, the grand tour had become the ideal way of imparting taste and knowledge into the minds of ignorant youths who would otherwise indulge in unbridled debauchery. There were bound to be numerous hazards and mishaps along the way for the long sightseer. Guidebooks provided (usually inaccurate) maps and directions to hotels along the post routes. The Gentleman’s Pocket Companion for Travelling into Foreign Parts, first published in 1722, laid out a delicious, if hazardous, scenario of what could happen at an inn.
