This study aims to obtain a pattern of empowerment to improve the professionalism of the school supervisors in Jakarta. This study employed the qualitative approach. The research subjects were school supervisors that consisted of key-informant, school supervisors' colleagues, and coordinators of school supervisor. The data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques by Creswell Model. This study obtained an empowerment pattern of school supervisors to improve professionalism. There are five elements related to the empowerment pattern of school. First, the empowerment is the effort to develop themselves independently based on competencies and main duty. Second, empowerment is done by the implementation of CPD which is focused on the goals of empowerment and benefit in the increase of competencies, professionalism, responsibility, initiative, performance, and job satisfaction. Third, the constraints in the empowerment of school supervisor include the lack of facilities provided and low selfmotivation of the school supervisors. Fourth, the solutions to overcome the constraints of the empowerment in improving the professionalism of the school supervisors include improving the commitment of all parties. Fifth, professionalism is defined as a full-time job, competence-based, having a code of ethics, having professional organization, doing their best, and making decision independently.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis fenomenalogis. Subjek penelitian ini adalah pengawas sekolah yang terdiri dari pemberi informasi utama, teman sejawat pengawas sekolah, dan koordinator pengawas sekolah. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, pengamatan partisipasi, dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan model Creswell. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan pola pemberdayaan pengawas sekolah dalam meningkatkan profesionalisme. Ada lima unsur yang terkait dengan pola pemberdayaan pengawas sekolah. Pertama, pemberdayaan adalah usaha mengembangkan diri secara mandiri sesuai kompetensi dan bidang tugas. Kedua, pemberdayaan dilaksanakan melalui Pengembangan Keprofesian Berkelanjutan (PKB) yang fokus pada tujuan pemberdayaan dan bermanfaat untuk meningkatnya kompetensi, profesionalisme, tanggung jawab, prakarsa, kinerja, dan kepuasan kerja. Ketiga, hambatan pemberdayaan adalah belum adanya fasilitas yang memadai dan rendahnya motivasi pengawas sekolah. Keempat, solusi mengatasi hambatan pemberdayaan dalam meningkatkan profesionalisme pengawas sekolah adalah komitmen bersama semua pihak. Kelima, makna profesionalisme adalah kerja penuh waktu, sesuai kompetensi, punya kode etik, ...

“…With the development of the economy and the progress of society, the number of large-scale public buildings has increased significantly, there is a large amount of In Sustainable Cities and Society 52 (2020) 101839, Elsevier people gathering in the large public buildings such as museums, shopping malls， stadiums and metro stations (Lo et al, 2008;XIE et al, 2017). Most of these large-scale buildings have multiple function and large room capacity that cause the evacuation path is too long and complex and delay the evacuation time (Ran et al, 2014).…”

The number of large public buildings is growing rapidly in function and complexity, which cause the evacuation path in case of fire to be too long and complex increasing the evacuation time. In this paper, a constraint-based design approach is introduced to automatically generate the optimal position of the building evacuation door to minimize the length of the escape route, thus reducing the evacuation time. The position of the evacuation doors is ruled by design specifications and building structures, in this study,

“…Creating a comprehensive plan for inspection, testing, and maintenance of these systems can help reduce risk and improve chances of success of the system's performance. Study of fire safety performance of older buildings in terms of fire spread may lead to selection of different fire safety strategy options [7], and inspection and maintenance of fire protection devices [8].…”

Fire effects can be one of the most harmful conditions that any building may experience throughout its service life. Developing practical protection methods and concepts against potential fire disasters in buildings has been an important consideration in design of buildings in recent decades. Rapid developments in technology have heightened the demand for new and innovative fire protection systems in comparison with conventional and traditional methods. Such a need for new technologies is in particular of greater importance when it comes to existing buildings. Retrofitting an existing building for fire safety is a greater challenge compared with designing a new building using materials and components that have more desirable and superior fire rating to begin with. Furthermore, strategies to design a new building that includes state-of-the-art fire safety features are also different from solutions that may be more suitable for retrofitting an existing building. This paper presents a review of the literature concerning conventional and new or innovative retrofitting methods for fire safety of buildings. Advantages and disadvantages of different fire protection devices and methods as available and understood from the literature are mentioned. Study of fire safety systems shows that each has its drawbacks. Comparison of the results shows that disadvantages of a solitary system for retrofitting against fire can be improved by using a combination of several fire safety concepts or methods simultaneously.
