“…Generally, the fire disaster give rise to worrying impact, from the psychological until social impact [60]. The fire disaster was one of incident that often occurred especially in high populated urban area, so that the people must be educated since early stage especially for elementary school [61,62]. Using education game trough PjBL model was relevant with the level of student's comprehension and able to improve their cognitive skill [63,64].…”

Cognitive skill was a needed effort for students in nowadays modern era that occurs continuously. The use of fire mitigation game application trough project-based learning was an effort to support the stage of cognitive skills. The main purpose of the research was analysed the model of project-based learning assisted by fire mitigation game in order to improve the student’s cognitive skills. The method that applied in this research was quantitative research that conducted towards 55 SD Muhammadiyah 9 Surabaya students. The participant selection was purposive sampling based on the inclusion criteria that conducted by the researchers and the data collection was conducted by learning implementation observation and student’s critical thinking level test. The data that collected in the research was statistically analysed trough correlational approach (correlational research) and linear regression. Based on the research it was showed that correlation coefficient gained significances values about 0,000 < 0,05 it was confirmed that H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. Therefore, based on the analysis of the research data it was appropriate with normality test by histogram graphic with bell form without leaning right or left, so that the histogram graphic was recognized as normal. It was also recognized as normal because of normality pretest based on Q-Q plot that the plots was showed the fit line, so that the distribution recognized as normal, because the data above was following the normal line. Responding the result of the analysis that conduct by significances values (sig.) in the F-Test was 0,000. Because sig. 0,000 < \(\alpha\) = 0,05 it could be summed up that there are influence of Project-based learning model assisted by fire mitigation game towards the student’s cognitive skills in elementary school.

“…The central region features the mountain steppes of the southern part of the Mongolian Altai, while the southern part is marked by the desert depression of "Baruun Khuurain". The provincial capital, Khovd City, is located in the valley of the Buyant river, a significant river in Western Mongolia (Kor Heerema, 2013;Nara and Battulga, 2019).…”

“…The city itself lies on a relatively plain surface and it is formed by an alluvial fan with a low slope. Notably, a large mountain gully brings flood water from the southeast part of the city, and historical records indicate the occurrence of 10 flash floods through this gully, resulting in damage to numerous families (Nara and Battulga, 2019;unpublished).…”

“…Khovd City currently sustains a population of approximately 32,000 residents, with a density of 440 people/km² (Khovd Statistical Office, 2020). The population density in the provincial center increased notably in recent years, despite the fact that the city faces a significant risk of natural disasters and in particular floods triggered by climate change (Nara and Battulga, 2019;Yasuhiro et al, 2019). In response to this risk, we developed a hazard map depicting flow directions using our new a topographic map.…”

Abstract. The impacts of climate change manifest heterogeneously across regions, and in Khovd City, a semi-arid area in Western Mongolia, the escalating threat of flooding is evident through the occurrence of 10 flash floods in the last 30 years. The risk zone, encompassing rivers and flash floods, endangers ca. 32,000 residents, with 750–1,800 traditional nomadic dwellings (gers) located on the floodplain of the Buyant River during summer. There is a risk of flash floods in the eastern part of Khovd City from the mountains, while the western part is at a higher risk of flooding from the Buyant River. This paper aims at assessing flood hazards through a detailed topographical survey conducted using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). 15,206 aerial photos were collected in Khovd City using the UAV and measured by Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) on 22 Ground Control Points (GCPs). A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a resolution of 2.7 meters was generated from the aerial drone mapping data, enabling surface morphology, hydrological and eight-direction pour point model analysis using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The resulting flood hazard map revealed 4 flood risk areas based on flood flow direction and topographical features. Recommendations for local govern and residents include enhancing flood protection facilities for flood disaster prevention on flood risk zones.

Global warming has increased flood hazards, even in semi-arid regions. The extremely low normal surface water flow in these regions complicates hazard assessment and flood risk awareness. In this study, we first investigated recent flood trends since the 1980s in the major city of Khovd using meteorological data and satellite images to clarify climate change and its impacts in western Mongolia, which have not been reported before. The results showed that the frequency of heavy rain has increased gradually, despite a significant decrease in total annual precipitation. 75% of the total precipitation in the city of Khovd occurs in summer. Moreover, the frequency of daily precipitation exceeding 10 mm and the maximum daily precipitation have increased, and the frequency of flooding has increased since 1987. We also found that traces of floods were clearly recorded in Landsat images nine times since 1992 to 2022. The Buyant River, which flows northward along the western edge of Khovd, has not flooded in the past few decades, but flash floods flowing directly down from the southern mountains have struck Khovd. The study also revealed poor flood control structures and a lack of knowledge among residents. As a Mongolian custom, many residents spend the summer in gers (mobile living tent) along the Buyant River, and the increase in the flow rate of the Buyant River over the past few decades further increases the risk of disaster. To reduce the increasing risk, it is necessary to strengthen flood control facilities and raise awareness pertaining to the lifestyles of local residents. This example is likely to be universal for reducing flood risk in semi-arid Asia.
