Kata “bencana” berarti sesuatu yang sangat menakutkan, berbahaya, atau bahkan mematikan (KBBI, 2024). Kata ini sering digunakan untuk menggambarkan peristiwa yang membahayakan keselamatan makhluk hidup seperti manusia, hewan, dan tumbuhan. Menurut Undang-Undang Penanggulangan Bencana Nomor 24 Tahun 2007, pengertian hukum kata “bencana” di Indonesia adalah: “Bencana merupakan peristiwa atau serangkaian peristiwa yang mengancam dan mengganggu kehidupan dan penghidupan masyarakat yang disebabkan, baik oleh faktor alam, faktor non alam, maupun faktor manusia sehingga mengakibatkan timbulnya korban jiwa, kerusakan lingkungan hidup, kerugian harta benda, dan dampak psikologis (Dewina Nasution, SH., 2007). Bencana identik dengan kehancuran yang sangat merugikan, oleh karenanya masyarakat dari berbagai belahan dunia sangat takut akan terjadinya bencana.
Tanaman aren adalah tanaman asli Indonesia yang telah menyebar ke seluruh nusantara, terutama di daerah perbukitan yang lembab. Tanaman ini juga tersebar di negara-negara kepulauan di Asia Tenggara, seperti Malaysia, Myanmar, laos, Vietnam, Filipina, bahkan Taiwan dan India. Aren dapat dimanfaatkan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti bahan minuman, bumbu masakan, hingga obat-obatan. Pohon aren dapat tumbuh optimal di daerah dengan ketinggian 500-700 mdpl, dengan curah hujan lebih dari 1.200-3.500 mm/tahun, dan suhu udara antara 20-25°C (socfindoconservation.co.id, n.d.). Tanaman ini mampu menghasilkan nira, yaitu cairan manis yang keluar dari bunga tanaman khusus, terutama dari pembungaan yang...
This book comprises the proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on Construction Resources for Environmentally Sustainable Technologies. The contents of this volume focus on issues related to natural and man-made disasters, and discuss solutions through the use of alternative resources, towards building a sustainable and resilient society from geotechnical perspectives. Some of the themes covered include recycled materials in geotechnical constructions, management and utilization of disaster wastes, climate change independent natural disasters, socio-economic and environmental aspects in sustainable construction, physical and numerical modelling of disaster mitigation techniques, etc. This book will be beneficial to researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers alike.
Advances in chemical engineering are focused on intensification of reactions, unit operations and mechanical operations. Intensification facilitates reduction in cost, size and increase in conversion, separation and selectivity. In case of distillation, reactive distillation can reduce energy cost and increase product quality considerably compared to conventional reactor- separator method. Similar advantages can be considered for reaction adsorption and other reactive separations. Use of non-renewable energy sources can reduce burden on conventional feed stocks and reduce carbon foot prints. Nano materials are gaining importance due to their unique properties. Application of nanomaterial for...

This book documents the First World Landslide Forum, which was jointly organized by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL), eight UN organizations (UNESCO, WMO, FAO, UN/ISDR, UNU, UNEP, World Bank, UNDP) and four NGOs (International Council for Science, World Federation of Engineering Organizations, Kyoto Univ. and Japan Landslide Society) in Tokyo in 2008. The material consists of four parts: The Open Forum "Progress of IPL Activities; Four Thematic Lectures in the Plenary Symposium "Global Landslide Risk Reduction"; Six Keynote Lectures in the Plenary session; and the aims and overviews of eighteen parallel sessions (dealing with various aspects necessary for landslide disaster risk reduction such as: observations from space; climate change and slope instability; landslides threatening heritage sites; the economic and social impact of landslides; monitoring, prediction and early warning; and risk-management strategies in urban area, etc.) Thus it enables the reader to benefit from a wide range of research intended to reduce risk due to landslide disasters as presented in the first global multi-disciplinary meeting.
Biography of Taufik Sri Soemantri Martosoewignjo, an Indonesian intellectual and expert in constitutional law from Padjadjaran University, Bandung.
Hazardous waste management is a complex, interdisciplinary field that continues to grow and change as global conditions change. Mastering this evolving and multifaceted field of study requires knowledge of the sources and generation of hazardous wastes, the scientific and engineering principles necessary to eliminate the threats they pose to people and the environment, the laws regulating their disposal, and the best or most cost-effective methods for dealing with them. Written for students with some background in engineering, this comprehensive, highly acclaimed text does not only provide detailed instructions on how to solve hazardous waste problems but also guides students to think about ways to approach these problems. Each richly detailed, self-contained chapter ends with a set of discussion topics and problems. Case studies, with equations and design examples, are provided throughout the book to give students the chance to evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment and containment technologies.
