Risk Identification of Public Private Partnership Contracts with The Build-Operate-Transfer Scheme on Toll Road in Indonesia

J Burju Ferdinand Panggabean — 2024-11-11

One of the most crucial things that every nation needs is infrastructure. To boost the nation’s competitiveness, the Indonesian government is expediting infrastructure construction. Howeve, there are risk and big financial outlays that need to be addressed. A collaboration agreement, often known as public-private partnership (PPP), between the government and the private party is required in order to do this. With this contract, the government will be able to increase the number of toll roads throughout Indonesia. Although PPP comes in a variety of forms, the Build Operate Transfer (BOT) model is the most commonly used. The organizers and managers of the toll road will assume the government may be able to increase the number of toll roads Indonesia requires with the help of this deal. Although PPP comes in a variety of forms, the BOT model is the most commonly used. The organizers and managers of the toll road will assume all risks associated with the partnership plan. In order to reduce the risks caused by a partnership, each risk must be identified, assigned, and given the proper reaction. The data used in this study comes from BOT cooperation scheme-using toll road projects. The study indicates that there are relevant risks for toll road projects in Indonesia using PPP contracts with the BOT scheme, (1) political risk, (2) feasibility study risk, (3) financial risk, (4) design risk, (5) construction risk, (6) operation risk, and (7) transfer risk. The risk allocation in this research is based on expert opinions, adapted from ongoing toll road BOT projects in Indonesia.

Exploring The Correlation Between NDVI, LST, And Soil Moisture in The Context of Climate Change

Nursida Arif — 2024-11-11

This paper analyzes the relationship between vegetation, surface temperature (LST), and soil dampness and their influence on climate change. This research uses 2022 Landsat 8 data to investigate the complex interactions between the three variables. The research results show that NDVI has a moderate correlation in dry months with LST (r=0.4085) and a frail correlation in wet months (r=0.0288), while NDVI and SMI have a weak positive correlation (R=0.02). This research found that changes in soil moisture and vegetation cover can affect land surface temperatures, affecting climate. Understanding the relationship between vegetation cover, surface temperature, and soil moisture or soil dampness is critical to predicting and mitigating the impacts of climate change.

Factors Influencing Community Participation in Dam Failure Flood Risk Management: Challenges and Recommendations

Zeittey Karmilla Kaman — 2024-11-11

The risk of catastrophic floods resulting from dam failures, particularly when the dam is in proximity to densely populated areas, has sparked considerable concern among stakeholders, leading them to contemplate the potentially devastating consequences. Enhancing awareness and readiness among vulnerable communities in response to potential hazards stands as a widely acknowledged and pragmatic strategy to face the disaster with a minimum cost. The Sendai Framework advocates for the inclusive participation of community members in flood risk management (FRM) activities, aiming to enhance decision-making efficiency and improved mitigation efforts. The study has two main objectives: firstly, to identify key factors promoting active and successful community participation (CP) in FRM, and secondly, to explore potential challenges related to CP in dam failure FRM. Content analysis was used to review previous research and identify critical factors influencing effective CP in FRM. Building on the findings of content analysis and insights from prior studies on community-based dam failure FRM, the study addresses potential challenges and provides recommendations for adopting community- based interventions in dam failure FRM. This research contributes to the existing literature on FRM by offering strategic recommendations for managing dam failure floods and deepening our understanding of key factors in designing community-based interventions.

Pattern of Sprawl Development Along the Abuja–Keffi Highway Corridor in The North Central Nigeria

Sabo Jibrin — 2024-11-11

Purpose: The rapid expansion of urban areas worldwide is widely attributed to the growth of urban populations. The objective of this study is to examine the expansion of urban sprawl in the North Central area of Nigeria, specifically along the Abuja-Keffi highway corridor, over a period of 29 years, from 1991 to 2020.

Methodology: The study utilised satellite imagery from three distinct spatio-temporal intervals (1991–2003, 2003–2015, and 2015–2020) and incorporated three different types of Landsat sensors, namely Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), and Operational Land Imager (OLI). The study employed image processing and land use classification analysis techniques to generate land use and land cover (LULC).

Results: The analysis of the data reveals that there has been a significant increase in sprawling development along the Abuja-Keffi highway corridor. The built-up area of the region has undergone significant expansion over the past three decades, with the urbanised land area increasing from 1081.98 hectares (4.96%) in 1991 to 10263.15 hectares in 2020, accounting for 47.06% of the total built-up area. The research also documented two distinct forms of urban growth, specifically linear and leapfrog, throughout the corridor.

Applications/Originality/Value: The research recommends regional urban policy, urban growth boundaries as well as effective and efficient development control mechanism in the selected settlements along the corridor. The Abuja Municipal Area Council and Karu Local Government are urged to promote urban renewal and infrastructure development through private partnership, sustainable policies, waste management systems and community engagement.

Spatial and Temporal Analysis of Thermal Comfort Before the Pandemic, Lockdown, and the Covid-19 Pandemic Transition Period in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia Using Modified Temperature-Humidity Index

Hamim Zaky Hadibasyir — 2024-11-21

Yogyakarta as a city of education and a tourism city has the potential to experience a very significant change in the concentration of anthropogenic activity between before the pandemic and when the lockdown policy was implemented. Also, during the pandemic transition period, it allows for changes in fluctuating thermal comfort. This study aims to analyse thermal comfort before the pandemic, lockdown, and transition of the Covid-19 pandemic in Yogyakarta City. This study utilised Landsat 8 images before the pandemic, lockdown, and the transition to the Covid-19 pandemic. Next, the land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) were extracted. The LST and NDMI values are then processed to obtain thermal comfort in the form of the Modified Temperature-Humidity Index (MTHI). There was no clear pattern regarding MTHI (as a proxy of thermal comfort) before the pandemic, during the lockdown, and during the Covid 19 pandemic transition in the City of Yogyakarta. This study confirmed that there is a need of a better spectral index that reflects thermal comfort condition of a region.

Analysis of Spatial Distribution and Factors Influencing the Location of Tofu and Tempe Traders in the Periphery Area Market of Surakarta City in Supporting the Achievement of the SDGs

M Iqbal Taufiqurrahman Sunariya — 2024-11-21

Peripheral areas are areas on the outskirts of a city that usually have the structure and characteristics of a combination of village and city, both socially, physically, economically, and culturally. The outskirts of Surakarta City include the surrounding regency i.e., Sukoharjo, Boyolali, Karanganyar, Wonogiri, Klaten, and Sragen Regency. These areas have potential tofu and tempeh industry. This research was conducted to determine the spatial distribution patterns and factors influencing the location of tofu and tempeh traders. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the average nearest-neighbor pattern. The results show that the spatial distribution pattern is dispersed. Dispersed means that each area is evenly distributed and far from other areas. This happens because the ANN (Average Nearest Neighbor) value is >1. The influencing factor for the location of tofu and tempeh traders in the markets is the location chosen relatively close to where tofu and tempeh traders live so that the distance is not too far. The location was chosen because it has been running a business for generations. The location has good facilities and cleanliness, making it comfortable to carry out buying and selling transactions. This place is busy with buyers from various regions
