This paper presents an estimation of demand and its comparison to the capacity of the existing tsunami shelters in Padang. A combination of horizontal and vertical evacuation plans was simulated with giving priority to the horizontal ones. Demand for the existing shelters was estimated with an assumption that the population is spreading uniformly within the administrative area. It was also assumed that the number of people who entered the area is the same as those who went out of the area at the time of the anticipated earthquake occur. The coverage areas of shelters were estimated based on the distance that can be reached by people within an effective available evacuation time. The capacity of the tsunami shelters was obtained from secondary data. The study found that almost half of the existing shelters in Padang will be overloaded if all of the people in the coverage area of a shelter being evacuated to the shelters. Addition of 37 more shelters with a capacity of 2000 is needed.

Padang has been determined to be a livable city in 2024, according to the Mission of the City Major 2019-2024. Some improvements have been made, such as more BRT corridors, widening the sidewalk, and adding benches along the sidewalks. However, achieving a livable city is far more than just those thingies; we also need to know what people need and what the government is willing to do. This study explores the determinant factors in achieving the livable city criterion for Padang, especially regarding transportation-related variables in the expert views along and public and government interests. The quadrant analysis of Expectation-Performance and Effort-Effect Analysis was used to identify the determinant and priority factors in improving the livability of Padang. The results show that improving some essential elements has satisfied public expectations. Still, more things need to do, such as an integrated transportation system, comfortable public transportation, transportation for disabled persons, and a more environmentally friendly transportation mode. With less effort and high effect, the most priority factors are comfortable and secure pedestrian facilities, improving traffic to reduce travel time, and improving public transport facilities.

Dalam menunjang keberhasilan pembangunan infrastruktur, maka diperlukan  kerja sama yang baik antara owner, kontraktor dan konsultan yang harus didukung dengan penerapan sistem manajemen proyek. Beberapa penyebab keterlambatan penyelesaian proyek pada Dinas Prasarana Jalan, Tataruang dan Permukiman Prov. Sumbar berhubungan dengan penerapan sistem manajemen proyek yang masih rendah, Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kinerja manajemen proyek kontraktor jalan untuk paket non kecil di Prov. Sumatera Barat, mengetahui  persepsi owner terhadap penyedia jasa konstruksi dan memberikan gambaran mengenai  kinerja manajemen proyek  yang perlu ditingkatkan kinerjanya oleh kontraktor nonkecil jalan di Prov. Sumatera Barat. Dari penelitian ini teridentifikasi terdapat 9 faktor yang mempengaruhi kompetensi manajemen kontraktor jalan, Melalui metode CSI diketahui  nilai Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) sebesar 69% yang terletak pada rentang nilai antara 65% < CSI ≤ 80%) yaitu level ke IV (Puas) sehingga Owner merasa puas terhadap kompetensi manajemen kontraktor paket nonkecil yang bekerjasama dengan Dinas Prasarana Jalan, Tataruang dan Permukiman Provinsi Sumatera Barat, Dengan Metode Requirement Satisfacton Analysis yaitu metode kuadran dan gap analysis diketahui terdapat 3 faktor yang menjadi fokus dalam perbaikan yaitu  faktor  sistem manajemen pelaksanaan jalan, faktor administrasi dan dokumentasi dan faktor sumber daya. Faktor administrasi dan dokumentasi adalah  faktor yang memiliki Gap (selisih nilai)  kebutuhan dan kepuasan yang paling besar sehingga menjadi faktor yang paling prioritas untuk ditingkatkan kinerjanya karena sangat berpengaruh terhadap kinerja kompetensi manajemen kontraktor jalan untuk paket nonkecil di Provinsi Sumatera Barat.

This study was motivated by the case of the disappearance of legal bus services due to their loss in competition with a kind of car services called “Travel” for the corridor of Padang - Pesisir Selatan, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Travel might not legal public transport services, and therefore, in this study is also called un-official public transportation. This study aims to determine the driving attributes for passenger’s satisfaction of un-official public transportation services and to figure out the service attributes that need to be improved according to passengers’ perceptions. Data was collected using random sampling with a total sample of 160 respondents and was analyzed using the Importance Satisfaction Analysis (ISA) method. Quadrant analysis of ISA revealed that the availability of music and air conditioner on-board is not so essential but resulting a higher satisfaction to passengers. Passengers are calling for an improvement of the services by consistently implementing the law against a driver who uses a mobile phone while driving or driving inconsiderately, and improving the courtesy and friendliness of the driver.

There are many cities on the west coast of the Sumatra, which are at high risk of the Tsunami disaster. Regional Regulations on Regional Spatial Planning for each City/ Regency have compiled disaster mitigation by constructing several evacuation roads. This study wants to illustrate: what are the volume of traffic generation and road performance, if there is a Tsunami disaster. The simulation is developed by predicting traffic volume based on parameters, population density, vehicle ownership, land use, and activities in the area around the road. The assessment was carried out on two tsunami evacuation roads in the city of Padang, West Sumatra Province. The results show that the highest traffic volume occurred in the period from 06.30 a.m until 3:00 p.m., during school activities. One of the roads will not be able to accommodate the volume of traffic during a disaster, due to significant traffic congestion. This study shows that: (1) the period of activity and land use are two main parameters, which must be considered in designing tsunami evacuation roads, (2) The degree of saturation ratio and the ratio between the capacity of sections of Tsunami evacuation routes can be proposed as a parameter for assessing the performance of Tsunami evacuation roads in urban areas.
