2024-12-02T09:06:24+00:00

The "Zero Waste City" program is a waste management policy initiative in Depok City that has been implemented from 2016 to 2024. The primary objective of this program is to make the entire Depok City area free from all types of waste. However, the program's implementation faces challenges, leading to some areas in Depok City still struggling with waste issues. Universitas Indonesia, as a higher education institution located in Depok City, acknowledges the waste-related challenges in its surrounding environment. Therefore, the university is committed to actively participating in solving waste issues originating from its campus environment. This research aims to address waste issues at the source, particularly by applying appropriate technology based on the criteria and sub-criteria at Universitas Indonesia. This step is expected to contribute to reducing waste-related problems in Depok City and serve as an example of effective waste management from its source. Notably, Universitas Indonesia contributes to the accumulation of residual waste at TPA Cipayugn Depok, which has become increasingly concerning over time. The analysis in this study employs the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods to evaluate suitable waste management technologies for addressing the issues of residual waste accumulation. Additionally, techno-economic analysis is conducted to assess the feasibility of the selected technology. The project's feasibility evaluation parameters include Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period (PBP), and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR).

Exploration of Work Accident Prevention Behavior Among Technical Service Personnel In the Implementation of The 'One Pict Saves You' Movement at PT PLN (Persero) Customer Service Unit Bireuen

2024-12-02T10:00:27+00:00

This study aims to explore the work accident prevention behaviors of technical service officers in response to the implementation of the "One Pict Saves You" initiative at PT PLN (Persero) Customer Service Unit in Bireuen. This initiative was introduced to improve compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) as a preventive measure to reduce workplace accidents. The methodology used in this study is a qualitative approach with thematic analysis techniques. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews with supervisors, management, and technical service officers, as well as an analysis of the company's safety documents. Interview questions focused on officers' awareness of the importance of PPE, compliance with safety procedures, and behavioral changes following the implementation of the "One Pict Saves You" initiative. The results indicate that the implementation of this initiative successfully increased awareness and compliance with PPE use. Most officers recognized the importance of PPE in protecting their own safety and felt encouraged by consistent visual monitoring.

Conceptual Cost Estimation In Green Buildings By Using Regression Analysis And Artificial Neural Network Methods To Improve Accuracy

2024-12-02T10:03:19+00:00

Conceptual cost estimation is a critical task during the early stages of a construction project, especially for green buildings, which present unique sustainability challenges and design complexities. Traditional methods such as regression analysis are widely used but often rely on experienced estimators and are time-consuming, while Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) offer a modern alternative but are limited by the quality and quantity of available data. This study aims to develop a hybrid model combining regression analysis and ANN to improve the accuracy of conceptual cost estimation for green and conventional high-rise buildings in Indonesia. Using data from 22 high-rise building projects (13 conventional and 9 green buildings), the study employed regression analysis, ANN techniques, and a combination of the two, with eight key variables selected for modeling. The hybrid model demonstrated the highest accuracy, achieving a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 15.09%, within the acceptable range for conceptual cost estimation (+10–30%) as per AACE standards, outperforming standalone regression and ANN models. These findings highlight that integrating regression analysis and ANN provides a robust tool for early-stage cost estimation, supporting sustainable construction practices and informed decision-making.
