3. EARTHQUAKE RISK MITIGATION (3 CREDITS)

Many infrastructure failure and fatalities have been caused by earthquake disaster. The history of earthquake disasters in Indonesia and in the worldwide could become lesson learnt for risk mitigation of earthquake disaster in the future. Disaster risk could be explained by threat and vulnerability. Earthquake mitigation processes could be done by understanding these two factor. Basically, every disaster have lifecycle that is divided into four step; disaster reduction, preparedness, emergency response, and rehabilitation and reconstruction. Success of earthquake disaster mitigation program depends on application process of every program in every step.

E. FIELD TRAINING, THESIS AND PUBLICATION (COMPULSORY)

1. FIELD TRAINING (3 CREDITS)

Introduction of policy definition and questionnaire preparation. Multi variable analysis, qualification analysis, regression analysis. Field study case object is decided before, splitted into several groups, field understading, field investigation, related to grand road map research, integrated report preparedness which is presentated in seminar or workshop forum.

Students are expected to learn by doing in some of the institution that is related to disaster, e.g. construction company, consultant, and government institution.

The position in which the student work should be as assisstent manager or decision maker level related to disaster or technical officer responsible for designing and analyzing complex work.

Students are expected to learn from the experient of solving the problems by some consideration based on scientific analysis and includes all aspects encountered in the field.

Field training should be done equal to 3 credits or about 4 working hours during 30 working days.

2. THESIS (8 CREDITS)

Giving provision to students on reviewing academic experience like action research related to natural disaster which is oriented to comprehensive problem solving. Emphasizing in case study with analysis procedure and structural and systematic review with theory provision which is gained during lectures. Metodology development in thesis research action can be laboratory facillities utillizing for physically model or indoor model (indoor laboratory or outdoor laboratory works) mathematic (software application oriented) or field survey, depends on interest and topics which already decided with advisor.
