Perancangan Rumah Sederhana Tahan Gempa dan Mitigasi Gempa di Kalurahan Wukirsari, Sleman

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries most prone to earthquakes. Often, the high number of fatalities and house collapses during earthquakes are triggered by building structures that do not meet safety standards. Therefore, designing earthquake-resistant buildings is a crucial solution to reduce damage and protect the lives of residents. Through this community service program, a design of an earthquake-resistant 1-story house and mitigation strategy were developed in Wukirsari Village, Sleman. This area is located in a high-risk earthquake zone and was severely affected by the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake. This program aims to educate local residents on how to build safe homes and prepare for situations before, during, and after earthquakes. Referring to BNPB standards, SNI 1726:2019, and SNI 2847:2019, the design of this one story house focuses on component strength, reinforcement details, and the connection between the building's super and sub-structures. Besides the technical construction, it is important to developed a practical mitigation guide in the event of an earthquake.
