DEVELOPMENT OF REAL-TIME EARTHQUAKE DISASTER MITIGATION SYSTEM FOR CITY GAS NETWORK AND UTILIZATION OF REGIONAL GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION

To minimize the damage caused by large earthquakes, mutual assistance activities between residents and rescue victims (i.e., to support residents who cannot evacuate individually) are important. To enhance these activities, the technologies and methods for creating a Community Disaster Management Plan (CDMP), based on the quantitative evaluation of mutual assistance abilities, are required. However, the lack of a method for it is a key issue. This study aims to develop a methodology of workshops for making CDMPs by using the developed support tool by the authors to explore and promote mutual assistance activities. Through the demonstration and examination of a Community Disaster Management Plan on actual districts, the findings mentioned in this article were obtained. Moreover, the usability of this method is shown. In particular, this method is effective at revising CDMPs, and raising resident awareness on the importance of mutual assistance. The suggested method can also improve the lack of techniques involved in promoting mutual assistance.

China is a seismic active country. We suffered a large number of fatalities by earthquake damage. A great deal of requirements on disaster mitigation has been putting forward and which is becoming a hot topic in the society. This paper focuses on the safety situation of residential environment in Chinese cities, tries to examine the vulnerabilities for earthquake disaster mitigation. We chose the city of Tianjin as target area applying for the detail analysis. An evaluation was interpreted into suggestions and advices on planning and management.

The Impact

Background: Bantul is one of the areas in Yogyakarta that is at risk of disaster. The results of interviews with the head of SD N 2 Padokan found that the school had never had any training on disaster and not yet implemented the curriculum on disaster mitigation. Children are age groups that are very vulnerable to the impact of both physical and psychological disasters. Knowledge of disaster preparedness is important for disaster preventionThe purpose of the study: to determine the effect of health education on knowledge of student preparedness to earthquake disaster events in SD N 2 Padokan, Bantul.Method: This research is quantitative research with quasi experiment design. The design used was pre test and post test nonequivalent control group. The number of samples in the intervention group and the control group were 27 students of class V. The sampling were collected by purposive sampling according to the criteria. Methods of data collection using questionnaires and using nonparametric statistical analysis Wilcoxon with the help of SPSS v.17 for Windows program.Results: The results showed no effect of health education on earthquake disaster preparedness knowledge in SD N 2 Padokan obtained p value 0.480 with α 0.05. In the intervention group the difference of knowledge before and after is indicated by p value 0.180, while for the control group 1,000.Conclusion: there is no effect of health education on disaster preparedness knowledge in SD N 2 Padokan.

AbstractThe deployment of real-time permanent ocean-bottom seismic and tsunami observatories is significant for disaster mitigation and prevention during the occurrence of large subduction earthquakes near trough areas. On April 1, 2016, a moderate-sized suboceanic earthquake occurred beneath Dense Oceanfloor Network System for Earthquakes and Tsunamis (DONET) stations that were recently deployed in deep ocean-bottom areas near the Nankai Trough in southwest Japan. P-waves arrived at the ocean-bottom station within 4 s of the origin time, which was 6 and 13 s earlier than the arrival of P- and S-waves at a land station in the coastal area, respectively; this implies earlier detection of strong motion than at land stations. However, the waveforms are amplified by sediment layers and even contaminated with acceleration offsets at some stations, which would lead to overestimations during source investigations. Such amplification and offset did not occur at a borehole station connected to DONET. The amplifications caused by the sediment layers and the offset were found to have a considerable spatial variation, not only between the DONET stations and land and borehole stations but also among the DONET stations, implying that the amplitude evaluation could be unstable. Therefore, procedures for correcting or suppressing the amplification and offset problem are required for conducting waveform analyses, such as magnitude estimations and source modeling, during large subduction earthquakes.

Simple Parameter

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia is one of the leading university that should be responsive to environmental phenomena, especially about the earthquake disaster. Thus, developing disaster mitigation model is a very important thing to do. The purpose of this research is (1) identification of disaster risk factors, (2) classifying parameters and disaster risk indicator based on the availability of data, difficulty in obtaining data, and the accuracy of data, (3) develop alternative parameters to be used as a campus disaster mitigation model-based classification of disaster risk indicator. The method used in this research is literature study, analysis, and synthesis of theory and approach based on consideration of the expertise of the several specialist’s mitigations. The result of this study is an arrangement of the parameter for a campus with disaster mitigation hypothetical model insight which is divided into 3 parts, namely: ideal parameter consisting of 30 parameter indicators, medium parameter consisting of 27 parameter indicators, and simple parameter consisting of 22 parameter indicators.
