Master of Engineering in Natural Disaster Management (MTPBA), Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering conducted a field training as part of Drought, Flood, and Debris Flow Risk Reduction and Natural Disaster Damage and Loss Assessments courses, followed by MTPBA Students class of 2017, and accompanied by Dr. Istiarto in Yogyakarta, May 8, 2018. The field-training destination is Progo River estuary which is located near Trisik Beach, Kulon Progo, and downstream area of Opak River in Kretek district, Bantul.
The first location is at Trisik Beach. The participants learned about flood prevention system at downstream area of Progo River using floodgate, embankment, and jetty building. Dr. Istiarto explained the initial condition and processes of flood control in the area, and the recent condition.
At the second location, participants were invited to see water building, which serves to secure the Kretek Bridge in Bantul. In this location, Dr. Istiarto described the process of damage that occurred to the building and its rehabilitation process.
Master of Engineering in Natural Disaster Management (MTPBA) has held a field training of Earthquake Disaster Risk Reduction, on 5 May 2018, for 5 students of the programme.
The field training was conducted by:
Location of field training:
Master of Engineering in Natural Disaster Management (MTPBA), Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, conducts field training on May 7th, 2018 as part of Landslide Early Warning System Course. The field training was located in Magelang regency, that has been identified with potential ground movement.
Fieldtrip participants are students from MTPBA study program, 5 (five) students from earthquake disaster concentrations, and 6 (six) student from Infrastructure and Building Material Technology Management, with Prof T. Faisal Fathani.
The training started with coordination meeting at BPBD office of Magelang, together with representatives from BPBD, Assessment Team from BSN (National Standards Board), and training participants. After a short discussion, the participants went to the installation site of landslide mitigation tool in Salaman, Magelang District. In Salaman, there are 2 (two) installation points of landslide mitigation tool, i.e. at Dusun Kalisari Margoyoso and Dusun Palungan Sidosari.
Prof. Faisal together with Mr. Ikhwan (from Gama Multi team) explained about the National Standard of Early Warning sub-system and instrument of landslide mitigation. In both locations, the fieldtrip participants were introduced to the disaster alert team for landslide that consisted of each sub-village society. The group is a selected mitigation team to communicate directly with the local government (BPBD) and assist other communities when instrument guidance from the early warning system provides hazard signals at some level.

MTPBA student batch XVI/August 2016
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering conducted a visit to Bantul to observe the flood location at Opak river. Previously, there is no flood ever happened in Opak area. This disaster is triggered by the Cempaka cyclone that was recently happened.
Observations and visits were focused on Nambangan bridge and Soka bridge in Pundong, Bantul that suffered from the most damage. The Nambangan bridge collapsed because of heavy river flow to 18 meters above the riverbed. The plantations on the riverbank is also damage. The very high capacity of waterflow touched the embankment. There is a landslide on the river banks due to the water flow.
The observation also includes changes in soil structure of Opak river banks. The soil texture is still soft because of the water content in the soil. The remaining parts of the bridge that are still visible i.e. the two standing poles and several collapsed poles. Nambangan bridge has 70m length with its precast floor plate bridge floor structure. Each precast floor has a length of 10m and a width of 1 m.
