The railway infrastructure development is being a concern to the government of Indonesia nowadays. One of construction methods mostly applied in building the railway infrastructure is box girder erection with launching gantry. After observing several big projects with this construction method, some problems are identified. One of the problems is different work activities conducted during box girder erection. According to this situation, this research was conducted to identify precast box girder erection activities to develop work breakdown structure. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) will enhance the efficiency and effectivity of similar projects in the future. To conduct the analysis, there are three steps to be executed. They are archive analysis, expert judgement and surveys. For archive analysis, two big projects are observed and compared. Secondly, the judgements are obtained from five experts who have fulfilled more than ten years working experiences especially in public infrastructure construction. Thirdly, the direct surveys were held to thirty elected respondents regarding this topic. Finally, the descriptive analysis was applied to draw the result. This research conveys the WBS which has been developed according to aforementioned analysis method. There are 13 identified activities. They are preparation, box girder transportation, box girder lifting, position setting, epoxy gluing, temporary PT bar stressing, alignment surveying, PC stand and accessories installment, permanent stressing, patching, grouting and bearing installation re-surveying. This WBS is necessary to be used as a reference standard for future similar projects.

A magnitude (Mw) 7.5 Palu-Donggala earthquake struck Palu, Indonesia on Friday, 28 September 2018 at 18:02:44 Central Indonesia Time (GMT+8). The earthquake resulted in tsunami and flowslide liquefaction. Balaroa, Petobo, Jono Oge and South Sibalaya were affected areas of flowslide liquefaction. Area of Petobo flowslide liquefaction had the largest impact as compared to other locations. This paper emphasizes on the observations on the ground surface when liquefaction occurred in Petobo. Interviews with the survivors and living witnesses, displacement vectors with reference to buildings, observations of soil conditions and groundwater levels as well as descriptions of conditions pre- and post-slide, are conducted in these observations. In addition, several data consisting of Satellite Imagery, DEM (Digital Elevation Model), regional geology and some photographs taken at the site are also discussed. Results show the slope of the area of flowslide liquefaction ranges from 1° to 2°. Besides earthquake shaking, soil types and groundwater tables are believed to have had contributions to the flowslide liquefaction. Loose silty medium to fine sands are found in the flowslide areas. Based on interviews, witnesses indicated the liquefaction occurred in about few seconds after the initiation of shaking. The ground then became like muddy flow and buildings started to move or sink. After flowslide, large swampy areas had appeared and the soft ground took several weeks to become hardened again.

Indonesia, as a tropical region, shows high potential for rainfall. At highlands, enormous rainfall triggers both soil and coastal erosion. Landslides are frequently occured in Semarang in which some of whose areas are indicated as highlands with unstable soil. This study was carried out in DeliksariSukerejo, Gunungpati sub-district of Semarang. Various effort have been done to prevent the disaster such as socialization of preventing landslide given by government, private institutions, colleges, and non-governmental organizations. However, most of those method only involve for the adults, involving of the children in effort to understandthe disaster mitigation concept are less. One of the effort used was FHP (Funny Hand Puppet) Story Telling. This method tried to draw childrens attention by handy-puppets shows, so the the purpose which is hoped could be well-transferred. As many as 24 children attended this shows. From the pre-test, it was gained 84.3% of those who did not know simple ways to avert the landslide. After the socialization had been given, post-test results showed 94.8% of the children significantly understood the danger of landslide. From the results depicted the increasing of landslide awareness as 10.5%. All respondent were children between 4-13 years old.This method provided broader education about landslide happening in their surroundings. Indonesia sebagai negara tropis memiliki potensi curah hujan yang tinggi. Pada daerah perbukitan, curah hujan yang tinggi merupakan faktor pemicu terjadinya longsoran baik pada tanah maupun batuan. Bencana longsor juga sering terjadi di kota Semarang yang sebagian wilayahnya perbukitan dengan kondisi tanah yang tidak stabil. Dilaksanakan penelitian yaitu di kawasan Dukuh Deliksari, Kelurahan Sukorejo, Kecamatan Gunungpati Semarang. Berbagai upaya telah dilakukan dalam pencegahan bencana tersebut, misalnya sosialisasi pencegahan bencana longsor yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah, swasta, perguruan tinggi, dan LSM. Kebanyakan upaya tersebut hanya melibatkan orang dewasa, sehingga anak-anak belum memiliki pemahaman sejak dini mengenai lingkungan tempat tinggal mereka yang rawan longsor. Salah satu metode yang digunakan adalah FHP (Funny Hand Puppet) Story Telling. Metode ini mencoba menarik perhatian anak-anak dengan menggunakan boneka tangan yang ditujukan kepada anak-anak sehingga pesan yang dibawa dapat tersampaikan dengan baik. Sebanyak 24 anak-anak yang mengikuti metode ini didapatkan dari hasil pre test 84,3% belum mengetahui cara sederhana menangani bencana longsor. Hasil dari post testmenunjukkan bahwa 94,8% anak-anak menjadi lebih paham. Dengan hasil tersebut anak-anak mengalami peningkatan sebesar 10,5%. Melalui metode ini, sesungguhnya anak-anak mendapatkan pendidikan yang jauh lebih luas tentang bencana longsor yang benar-benar terjadi di tempat mereka tinggal.
