Participatory Mapping for Disaster Risk Reduction in Kotagede Cultural Heritage Area, Yogyakarta

Abstrack:

The definition of cultural heritage now includes historic urban areas, vernacular heritage, cultural landscapes (tangible heritage, which include natural and cultural sites), and even living dimensions of heritage and all aspects of the physical and spiritual relationship between human societies and their environment (intangible heritage). Therefore, the disaster related conservation of cultural heritage area become important part of disaster management. Kotagede, the historical old capital of the 16th century Mataram Empire, located in earthquake and fire hazard prone area. The area is densely populated area with narrow connecting road, which increases vulnerability. In the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, Kotagede was severely affected. A lot of people were killed and almost all historical building damaged and destroyed. Therefore, disaster risk reduction became an important thing that has to be integrated in the development planning of Kotagede cultural heritage area. In the implementation of disaster risk reduction in development planning of Kotagede cultural heritage area, community participation become important factor. This is due to community participation in this will be improve the local capacity of the community itself so it can support prevention and conservation of cultural heritage from high risk. It?s also urgent to integrate local wisdom such as gotong royong in this effort. This research aims to mapping the evacuation sites, evacuation route, hydrants placement, and vulnerable groups by involving local community. This study conducted in Jagalan Village, Sub District of Banguntapan, Bantul Regency. The data collected by Focus Group Discussion method, and processed using GIS software. The result was integrative maps that can be used for determining disaster risk reduction planning. The results shows that the evacuation sites and evacuation routes that can be designed in Kotagede cultural heritage area is limited. This is caused by the condition of area which categorized as densely populated area. Limited public space has caused limitation in designated evacuation sites, Distance between houses which is very close has caused accessibility for evacuation routes became difficult due to very narrow street. Therefore, a solution that can be used to solve evacuation is using the branching model for determining evacuation sites and route. read more

Expression of prM/ E Protein of Dengue Virus Serotype 3 in E. Coli as a Sub Unit Recombinant Vaccine Candidate

Abstrack:

Dengue virus (DV) infection is an endemic disease in tropical and subtropical countries especially Indonesia. Secondary infections with different serotype of dengue virus may cause severe clinical manifestations such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Vaccine development is the promising approach for DV infection prevention. Challenge associated with development of tetravalent subunit vaccines led many researches to improve recombinant vaccines for overcoming this disease. Pre membrane and envelope genes (prM/ E) have been reported as an immunogenic antigen. Several studies revealed that prM/E could give higher immune responses than either structural or non structural proteins. Development of subunit vaccines base on Indonesian local circulating DV is challenging. In this study, prM/ E genes of DENV serotype 3 will be cloned into pET-32b and transforms into E. Coli DH5? then expressed in E. Coli BL21. Western Blot method will be used to detect prM/ E protein and predict epitomes to B cell and T cell using B Cell Epitome Prediction Tools and Genetyx. read more
