FOREWORD
ndonesia is one of the countries whose areas are vulnerable to disasters, including earthquake

I and tsunami. One of the impacts of the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Indonesia was
damage to building facilities and infrastructure, including school buildings, which resulted in
disrupted students’ learning process at school. More than 7,000 schools have been severely
damaged by the earthquake and tsunami since 2004.

The impact will be more severe if the disaster occurs when the teaching and learning process is taking
place at school; the ruins of buildings and surrounding objects can fall on and or bury the students,
teachers, and other education personnel. Therefore, school is required to be able to guarantee the
safety and security of all people at school at all times, including protecting from the threat of natural
disasters.

In line with the passion for protecting children's rights to protection, security, and survival as well as the
right to obtain quality and sustainable basic education, the Ministry of Education and Culture intends to
disseminate the knowledge on disaster risk reduction, safe learning facilities, and school disaster
management through the teachers and facilitators, one of which is by compiling modules that can be
used as references for teachers.

The first step is to map the Regulation of the Head of National Disaster Management Agency (Perka
BNPB) No. 4 of 2012 on the Guidelines for the Implementation of Safe School/Madrasa based on the
Comprehensive School Safety Framework, in which the Framework along with its three pillars have
been agreed by the international community, especially UNISDR as the UN Agency for Disaster Risk
Reduction.

Furthermore, a material review was carried out from various sources, both from ministries/agencies
(Ministry of Education and Culture, BNPB, and Ministry of Public Works), organizations/institutions
(ChildFund, INEE, Consortium for Disaster Education, MDMC, Plan Indonesia, Save the Children,
World Bank, and World Vision), as well as UN agencies (UNDP - SCDRR Project, UNESCO, and
UNICEF). After compiling and analyzing them, these materials were arranged and divided into three
modules that refer to the Comprehensive School Safety Framework:
• Module 1 – Pillar 1: Safe Learning Facilities
• Module 2 – Pillar 2: School Disaster Management
• Module 3 – Pillar 3: Risk Reduction and Resilience Education

In these three modules, school is defined as the schools under the auspices of the Ministry of
Education and Culture and also the madrasas under the auspices of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

The preparation of these reference modules is the result of collaboration between the Planning and
Foreign Cooperation Bureau and UNICEF Indonesia in the Disaster Risk Reduction Program which
aims to build the communities that are safe from disaster threats through various disaster risk reduction
efforts.

It is hoped that the reference modules can serve as valuable learning for many different parties in the
implementation and development of the Safe School Concept in the future.

GREETING FROM THE SECRETARY


GENERAL OF THE MINISTRY OF
EDUCATION AND CULTURE

ndonesian government has enacted the Law No. 24 of 2007 on Disaster Management which
emphasizes that Disaster Management is not only limited to the emergency response phase, but
also includes the pre-disaster (preparedness) and post-disaster (recovery) stages. The Law clearly
states that everyone has the right to obtain education, training, counseling, and skills in the
implementation of disaster management, both in situations where there is no disaster or a situation of
potential disaster.

It is through education that disaster risk reduction efforts are expected to be able to achieve broader
goals and can be introduced earlier to all students, for example by integrating disaster risk reduction
education into school curricula and extracurricular activities, etc. It encompasses the objective to
ensure that the educational environment—schools and educational facilities—are safe from disasters
and do not impose dangers to the lives of students, teachers, and other education personnel.

This module is a manifestation of Indonesia's commitment in supporting WISS (Worldwide Initiative


Safe Schools) as declared in Sendai, Japan at the Third UN WCDRR. This commitment will be
implemented to schools in Indonesia and more importantly to schools in disaster-prone areas.

These modules are structured with the idea that teachers and other relevant parties in education field
can use them as references to risk reduction and resilience during the emergency and post-disaster
response stages.

The Secretariat-General of the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia
welcomes the preparation of Safe School Modules which are the results of the collaboration between
the Planning and Foreign Cooperation Bureau of the Secretariat-General and UNICEF Indonesia.

We would like to present our gratitude to those who have actively supported the completion of this safe
school module. Finally, we hope that the publication of the Safe Schools Modules can truly serve as
useful references for teachers and education observers in Indonesia in ensuring the implementation of
Safe Schools.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
Background

Indonesia is an archipelago country with 17,508 islands, but 6,000 of them are uninhabited. It is located
in Southeast Asia, between the Pacific and the Indian Oceans. Indonesia covers a total area of
5,180,053 km2, consisting of 1,922,570 km2 of land mass (37.1%) and 3,257,483 km2 of seas (62.9%)
with the coastline of 81,000 km.

Geographically, Indonesia in situated on a series of tectonic plates: Australasia, Pacific, Eurasia, and
Philippine, thus making Indonesia vulnerable to any geological changes. In other words, the meeting of
the plates causes tectonic plate (red line) that forms earthquake and a series of volcanoes. Indonesia
has 129 active volcanoes, all of which are being monitored by the Directorate of Volcanology and
Geological Hazards Mitigation (ESDM). The tectonic plate is monitored by The Bureau of Meteorology,
Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) that provides information about earthquake and tsunami.
Indonesia is rich in various volcanoes, which at the same time pose the country under the threat of
eruption. In addition, there are 5,590 watersheds (DAS) from Sabang to Merauke that contribute to the
formation of the archipelago.

Indonesian climate is greatly influenced by its location and geographical characteristics. Spread as vast
as 6,400 km between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, Indonesia has 3 basic climate patterns:
monsoon1, equatorial, and local climate system. This causes dramatic differences in the rainfall
patterns in country.

1This seasonal phenomenon can be divided into 2, those are when the sun is on the north of the equator line and south of the equator line. For high latitude
areas, the seasons are divided into 4: autumn, winter, spring, and summer. Meanwhile, there are only 2 seasons in tropical areas, such as Indonesia: dry and
rainy seasons, which are greatly influenced by the monsoon wind patterns.

Due to Indonesia’s geographical location among the Australasia, Pacific, Eurasia, and Philippine
tectonic plates, these plates movements may cause disasters in the form of earthquake or landslide;
earthquake with certain amount of energy in a particular location may be followed by tsunami and
flood. The Earthquake in Aceh in 2004 has caused tsunami resulted in great impacts and took more
than 230,000 lives in more than 14 countries.

Based on the data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BPNB), in the last 30 years (1982-
2014) there have been 13,729 disaster occurrences dominated by flood. It was followed by landslide,
strong winds, drought, and other disasters. The highest number of fatalities, however, was caused by
earthquake that is followed by tsunami (resulting in 174,101 deaths), earthquake (15,250 deaths), flood
and landslide (7,555 deaths) and other disasters (28,603 deaths) 2. The most recent data show that
there were averagely ten occurrences of earthquakes that resulted in considerable damage in
Indonesia. Some of these occurred offshore and some other on the settlement areas (to view the
earthquake that occur, today please click here or http://geofon.gfz-potsdam.de/eqinfo/seismon/
globmon.php).

The complex and challenging condition is made worse with the impacts of climate change. Climate
change will continue to create great impacts on the intervention of humanity program and
developmental program. Further, it will pose more challenges to the development and organization of
education sector.

In addition to fatalities, disasters may cause physical damages. Among others are damages on public
service buildings that eventually disturb human’s daily activities. Among the existing public service
facilities, basic service building, such as school building and those related to health care, such as
hospital, community health center, assisting community health center, and integrated service post, are
social facilities in which human becomes the priority. In relation to damages of the school building,
earthquake and tsunami in Aceh in 2004 destroyed 2,000 schools; earthquake in West Sumatra (2007
and 2009) destroyed 2,800 schools; earthquake in West Java (2009) destroyed 35 schools, earthquake
in Mentawai (2010) destroyed 7 schools, while earthquake in North Lombok (2013) damaged 30
schools, among which until the end of 2014 were not yet renovated; earthquake in Central Aceh and
Bener Meriah (2013) destroyed 314 schools, consisting of 16 High School, 31 Middle School, 129
Elementary School, and 138 Kindergarten. Luckily, most of the disasters occurred outside active
school hours, thus causing no fatality, except in Padang, West Sumatra in 2009, where many students
were injured and several others died. As an illustration, earthquake in Sichuan Province, China, in
2008 resulted in 156 deaths, some of which were students, and 6,000 injuries. This was made worse
by the Chinese government policy of “one child policy”, leading to the loss of at least one generation of
each family.

School that are not strongly built are vulnerable in terms of security. It does not only threaten the lives
of the children, but also causes damage or destruction for the physical infrastructure, leading to the
loss of economic asset for a country. Furthermore, the great cost to reconstruct the buildings will
disturb the state financial and economy condition in general.

2 Based on the Reports of the 2013 National Disaster Risk Study issued by BNPB in 2013,

2
The efforts taken by the Government and the Regional Government within the last four years included
the documenting comprehensive data about the school condition in Indonesia, of whether they are in
the categories of severe, mild, light or total damage. These were then followed by conducting the
repairing process for the damaged schools. However, new schools are to be built and schools with
light damage may be subject to heavy damage in a few years, as such that school condition may
evolve. It will be unfortunate that less concern is given in the attempt to structurally construct safe
school. Therefore, rehabilitation, repair, and construction of new school buildings are necessary to
implement the school safety principles. The technology of “retrofitting” or “strengthening” can also be
implemented so that school buildings with heavy damage are not to be destroyed completely before
any renovation. Instead, they can be strengthened to minimize the cost.

Besides, safer school construction and retrofit approaches involving broader community in combining
new knowledge and disaster prevention skills can have wider impact to the school. School safety
approach can become a model for constructing and improving the security level for the renovation of
residence, community health center, and other buildings.

Schools can also often be a connecting and learning place for the society. Children are the fastest
learners in terms of receiving knowledge. They are not only capable of integrating new knowledge
within their daily life, but they are also the sources of inspiration for the family and society in their
environment in terms of healthy and safe behaviors that they obtained from school.

Indonesia has the obligation to protect the whole nation and the entire homelands and to advance the
general welfare and to promote the intellectual life of the nation. Protections for the citizen from the risk
of disaster and promotion to the intellectual life of the nation are parts of the noble objectives of the
state.

Related to the efforts to protect the citizen from disaster, the Government of Indonesia has
implemented the Law No. 24 Year 2007 on Disaster Management. The law clearly stated that everyone
has the right to obtain education, training, counseling, and skills in the implementation of disaster
management, both in situations where there is no disaster and situations of potential disaster. It is
through education that disaster risk reduction efforts are expected to achieve broader targets and can
be introduced earlier to all students, for example by integrating disaster risk reduction education into
school curricula and extracurricular activities, etc. In addition, schools should also implement school
safety principles in new school construction or school building rehabilitation programs in a sustainable
way and follow the advance development of building construction technology in accordance with local
condition.

Comprehensive School Safety Framework

Every child has the rights to safety and survival, as well as the rights to have quality and sustainable
elementary education. The rights are often failed to fulfill due to natural disaster and dangers related to
technology that result in big and small disasters. This disaster, be it in big, middle, or small in scale,
has impacts on children safety and education. When education is disturbed, a child education may be
disconnected. In several cases it is forever, which imposes permanent negative impacts, economically
and socially, to the child, family, and community.

PILLAR 1 - SAFE LEARNING
FACILITIES

For the education sector, the worst impact of a disaster is the loss of life or severe injury at school.
There are many consequences that can permanently influence the children’s future:
• Schools that cannot be used due to damage
• School that cannot be used as the building changes in function, that is temporary shelter or place of
refugee
• Inaccessible school
• Unavailability of physical access to child-friendly playground
• Unavailability of school equipment and educational materials
• Inability of the teachers to work
• Students are expected to earn a living, to help in recovery as well as taking care of younger
brothers or sisters full time
• Psychosocial disturbance in teachers, students, and other education workers

Educational sector plays important role in dealing with various challenges emerging from disaster and
in preventing potential hazards. By conducting a review on hazards and risks, planning, providing
physical and environmental protection, as well as creating alertness plan, the hazards can be
prevented from becoming disaster. School is the institution for sharing knowledge and skills, that it is
highly expected to an example for disaster prevention. The success in disaster mitigation is one of the
major tests for the success of education from generation to generation.

In 2012, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) issued Perka BNPB No. 4 Year 2012 on
Implementation Guidance for Disaster Safe School/Madrasa (SMAB), where the regulation has the
objectives to:

1. Identify school/madrasa location in the prioritized area vulnerable to earthquake and tsunami;
2. Provide reference in the implementation of Disaster Safe School/Madrasa structurally as well as
non-structurally.

The scope of the guidance for disaster safe school/madrasa is directed to fundamental aspects,
namely:
(1) Structural Framework, consists of:
• safe location
• Safe building structure
• Safe class design and arrangement
• Safe facilities and infrastructure support
(2) Non-Structural Framework, consists of:
• Knowledge, attitude, and action improvement
• Safe school/madrasa policy
• Alertness planning
• Resources mobility

6
At the global level, there is the Comprehensive School Safety Framework that includes both
Frameworks included in Perka BNPB No. 4 year 2012.

Aims of Comprehensive School Safety


The aims of the comprehensive school safety in dealing with expected dangers, whether natural or
man-made in nature, are to:
• Protect students, teachers, and other education workers from fatalities and injury risks at school
• Plan sustainable education in dealing with expected dangers
• Strengthen the community toughness against disaster through education
• Protect investment in education sector

Three pillars of Comprehensive School Safety


Comprehensive school safety can be achieved through policy and plans that are in line with the
disaster management in national, provincial, district/city, and school levels. This Comprehensive
School Safety is supported by the following three pillars:
1. Safe Learning Facilities
2. School Disaster Management
3. Risk Reduction and Resilience Education

• Structural safety

FACILITIES

Safe Learning Facilities


School buildings and learning facilities that are unsafe from disasters will be vulnerable to damage
and threaten the students’ safety. The damaged and destroyed physical facilities and infrastructures
constitute a loss of economic asset to the state and community, whose cost of reconstruction will
burden the economy3.

In establishing a Safe Learning Facilities, parties in charge of education sector and planning,
architects, engineers, builders, and school community members are the ones deciding the safe
location, design, construction, and maintenance (including the safe access) for the facility.

Dissemination of knowledge on Safe Learning Facilities is the first step to ensure that schools
located in hazard prone areas are designed and built to ensure that the users (students, teachers
and other educational personnel) are protected. This knowledge can also be used in retrofitting the
school buildings to make sure that the learning environment becomes a safe place for them.

The construction and retrofitting approach for safe schools involving the community in the
integration of new knowledge and disaster preparedness skills may provide benefits not only to the
schools, but also the broader audience. The said approach may serve as a construction model to
increase the security level for the construction of houses, community health centers, and other
public facilities.

School Disaster Management


School Disaster Management is an assessment process which is then followed by planning for
physical protection, emergency response capacity building, and education continuity at each school
level as well as for the education authorities at district/city, province, and national levels.

School Disaster Management is carried out by the education authorities in all levels in collaboration
with the disaster management counterparts in accordance with international standards to maintain
the safety of learning environment and plan the education continuity, both in the absence of
disasters and in the event of a disaster.

Risk Reduction and Resilience Education


Risk Reduction and Resilience Education, or more commonly referred to as Disaster Risk Reduction
(DRR) Education, is a long-term activity and is a part of the sustainable development program.
Through education, disaster risk reduction efforts are expected to reach broader targets and be
introduced earlier to all students, who ultimately can contribute to both individual and community
preparedness for disasters.

3 Guidance Notes on Safer School Construction, the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction
and Recovery (GFDRR) at the World Bank, in partnership with the Coalition for Global School Safety and Disaster Prevention Education, the IASC Education
Cluster and the International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction

8
Risk Reduction and Resilience Education must be designed to build a safe culture and a strong
community.

The linkages between the Structural and Non-Structural Frameworks indicated in Perka BNPB No. 4 of
2012 concerning Safe School/Madrasa (SMAB) with the global Comprehensive School Safety
Framework are as follows:
• The coverage of the Structural Framework is registered in Pillar 1 of the Comprehensive School
Safety Framework
• The coverage of the Non-Structural Framework is registered in Pillar 2 and Pillar 3 of the
Comprehensive School Safety Framework

CHAPTER II
PILLAR 1 - SAFE LEARNING FACILITIES
Safe Learning Facilities are learning facilities whose buildings, furniture, and surrounding yards fulfilling
the requirements for safety, health, and convenience, including feasibility for children with disabilities,
in accordance with the Regulation of the Ministry of Public Works No. 29 of 2006 and the Technical
Guidelines for Earthquake-Resistant Houses and Buildings issued by the Ministry of Public Works in
2006, SNI-1726-2002 and Perka BNPB 4 of 2012 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of
Safe School/Madrasa.

Generally, in the establishment of Disaster-Safe Schools, the schools are expected to be able to carry
out the following:
• Selecting the safe location for school and adopting the disaster-resilient design and construction to
ensure each newly established school is a disaster-safe school.
• Implementing the priority scheme for retrofitting and relocating schools (including the ones that are
not disaster-safe).
• Minimizing the structural, non-structural, and infrastructural risks to ensure the buildings and facilities
are safe for survival and evacuation.
• Including the provision of access and safety for people with disabilities when designing and
constructing the school facilities.
• Ensuring the school construction planning include the needs of people with disabilities (if the school
is envisioned to be used as an emergency shelter) and making sure that the place meets the
requirements to serve as an alternative facility for education continuity.
• Ensuring that the children’s access to schools is free from physical hazards (for example, at the
sidewalks or road and river crossings).
• Including the water and sanitation facilities into the potential risks (for example, rainfed reservoir and
toilets built in row).
• Implementing the climate-smart interventions to enhance water, energy and food security (for
example, conducting rainwater harvesting, utilizing solar panels and renewable energy, and building
school gardens).
• Maintaining the learning facilities and their security.

Safe learning facilities can provide security for the school community during disasters. The concept of
disaster-safe school which is recently developed into the Comprehensive School Safety includes the
supporting elements for safe learning facilities as the sub-pillars. The following is a diagram indicating
the said sub-pillars:

Household disaster plan


• Family reunification plan
• School drill

The main sub-pillars supporting the Pillar 1 are as follows:

PREPARATION DEVELOPMENT MAINTENANCE


1. Location selection 2. Building code 6. Construction 8. Remodeling or
(building regulations) supervision renovation
3. Performance 7. Quality control 9. Retrofitting

5. Training for builders

Additionally, there are also connections between Pillar 1 Safe Learning Facilities and Pillar 2 School
Disaster Management, namely:
1. Building maintenance
2. Non-structural mitigation
3. Fire safety

Meanwhile, the connections between Pillar 1 and Pillar 3 Risk Reduction and Resilience Education are
as follows:
1. Building’s structural safety education
2. Construction as an educational opportunity

FACILITIES

Whereas the connections of the three pillars are:


1. Education sector analysis
2. Multi-hazard risk assessment
3. Child-oriented assessment and planning
The connections of the three pillars are explained further in Pillar Module 3.

1. Sub-Pillar 1: Location selection


The school location selection is very important for the continuity of the school and the implementation
of the best mechanism for school maintenance. Avoid choosing location in disaster potential areas.
However, oftentimes the schools are still built in locations with poor land conditions due to the land
scarcity and lack of understanding on the actual land condition along with its potential risks.

Such aspects are described within regulations on building construction employing different focuses.
For example, in Earthquake-Resistant Building Technical Guidelines issued by the Directorate General
of Human Settlements in 2006, only mentioned the basic planning for houses and buildings such as
geographical conditions (geological and geophysical conditions) presented in earthquake maps, as well
as technical and economy conditions in an area where the building will be established. Then, the
Procedure for Earthquake-Resistant Buildings and Houses Planning according to the Indonesian
National Standard - SNI 03-1726-2002 technically describes how to analyze the land conditions up to
the types of disaster that may affect the land.

In the Guidelines for Safe School/Madrasa (Perka BNPB Number 4 of 2012), the aspects of a safe
school location are aptly described, location selection is a fundamental aspect in building a school.
Some of the location criteria for disaster-safe schools include:
a. The land chosen must be in compliance with its designation as mentioned in the District/City Spatial
Planning under the Regional Regulation or other more detailed and binding planning.
b. The land owner must provide valid land ownership and/or land use permit in pursuant to the laws
and regulations valid for minimum 20 years (Regulation of the Minister of Public Works Number 29
of 2006). This regulation also provides the analysis of the land structure, including for the land that
has been hit by a disaster and its impacts.
c. Adequate land area to build the school/madrasa’s infrastructures such as buildings, playgrounds,
open/closed space to do sports, and fulfill the provisions on the minimum ratio of land area to the
number of students.
d. The land is protected from potential hazards threatening the health and safety of the school
community as well as water, noise, and air pollution and has access for emergency rescue.
• Not located in the former landfill (TPA) and former mining areas.
• Far from high voltage electric networks (at least 0.5 km away).
• School buildings should be located far enough from rivers and at an altitude that is safe from
the danger of flood.

The following are the requirements for the building

REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDING STRUCTURES


The structure of the school building must adhere to the safety and serviceability requirements as well

For sandy soil and slope with an inclination over 15°, adjust the foundation to the building’s mass
structure to avoid liquefaction4 during earthquake;
2) Adjust the state building’s foundation to the soil/land condition, all types of load on the building,
and the building’s classification. For buildings built on the soil/land requiring specific foundation’s
finishing, the funding for the cost exclusive of the standard cost may be requested in the form of
non-standard foundation work cost;
3) For buildings comprising over 3 floors or built on a location with specific condition, the calculation

5. Sub-Pillar 5: Training for Builders
Training for builders is conducted in reference to the technical standards for the state-owned building
construction to ensure the technicians, builders, and contractors understand how to strengthen the
school building to become earthquake resistant school. In this training, the earthquake resistant school
planning and construction supervision concepts are described. Such a description covers the definition
of an earthquake, earthquake school building structure planning and calculation, construction
supervision, and the impacts of an earthquake to the non-structural components of a building.
Additionally, the materials relevant to the prototype of the planning for earthquake resistant school,
school building maintenance technique, guidance on the provision of subsidy for educational building
facilities and infrastructures, as well as school building development supervision are also provided in
the training. Following the training, the participants conduct a simulation and discussion on the design
for earthquake resistant buildings.

Why earthquake resistant buildings? The topic is selected considering the geographical condition that
Indonesia is located in earthquake prone area and that schools may function as an emergency shelter
for the community in the event of disaster. Therefore, the quality of school building must be improved to
become resistant against earthquakes. This training is expected to give the participants knowledge on
the planning, supervision, or building construction structure of an earthquake resistant school. Such
knowledge will also be applied in the rehabilitation of schools impacted by the earthquake.

The overview of the initial knowledge of builders based on the orderly indicators are as follows:
a) Knowledge on the terms relevant to earthquake resistant buildings.
Builders show the most limited knowledge for this indicator.
b) Primary concept of earthquake resistant buildings.
Builders show sufficient knowledge for this indicator. The current trend is that they inherit the
construction knowledge which is incompliant with the rules of earthquake resistant building
construction.
c) Work implementation to realize earthquake resistant buildings.
d) Knowledge on the building materials.
Builders have apt basic knowledge on the building materials.

In essence, earthquake resistant buildings are designed to ensure safety and convenience of their
occupants. To establish a quality building, the construction must be supported with the quality materials
and skilled human resources. The outcome expected to be provided by earthquake resistant buildings
is the accomplishment of the building’s best performance, namely:
1. Not experiencing any damages on both structural and non-structural elements in the event of a mild
earthquake.
2. During a moderate earthquake, the building may experience a slight repairable damage on its non-
structural elements. Its structural elements must remain in a prime condition.
3. During a major earthquake, the building may experience damages on both structural and
non-structural elements, but does not collapse.

The said structural elements include: columns, blocks, truss, and linkages. Whereas the non-structural
elements cover: regular brick walls, roof, windows, doors, and ventilations.

FACILITIES

Essentially, an earthquake resistant building comprises a composite of several crucial elements. Such
elements altogether form a building capable of bearing the load incurred by the earthquake. These
elements are:
1. Vertical elements whose function is to distribute the building load to the foundation and hold the
external loads.
For example: columns, walls, and bracing.
2. Horizontal elements whose function is to “tie” the vertical elements and distribute the load to them.
For example: blocks and diaphragm (floor and roof).
3. Foundation system whose function is to “tie” the walls and distribute the load to the ground.
4. Linkages whose function is to “tie” together all building’s elements. For example: column’s block
linkage, anchors, and riveted joints.

To realize the desired building performance, the following requirements for the earthquake resistant
building must be fulfilled:
1. Building must be established on a stable ground.
2. Building’s map plan must be made simply and symmetrically.
3. The quality of the materials and concrete mixture as well as mortar must be appropriate.
4. Tie beam6 must be anchored to the foundation.
5. Ring beam must be secured to the column.
6. Tied column must be attached in every 10 m2 of wall.
7. Brick wall must be anchored with the vertical interval of 30 cm to the column.
8. The entire building frame must have tough and rigid ties.
9. The truss frame located in the wooden truss connection must be connected with bolts and truss
connector plates.
10. Make sure that the roofing materials are lightweight.
11. Ensure that the construction is conducted properly. Construction process determines the building
quality and performance. Make sure that local technology, skilled personnel, and intensive
supervision are all involved in the construction process.

The followings are taken into account in the planning for school building:
1. Geographical condition (geological and geophysical conditions), technical condition, and economy
condition of a region in which the school building will be established.
2. The SNIs and regulations relevant to building structure planning include:
• SNI-03-1726-2002 on the Procedure for the Planning of Earthquake Resistant Buildings.
• SNI-03-1726-2002 (revised edition) on the Procedure for the Planning of Earthquake Resistant
Buildings and Houses.
• RSNI T-02-2003 on the Procedure for the Planning of Wooden Structure in Indonesia.
• SNI 03-1729-2002 on the Procedure for the Planning of Building Steel Structure.
• SNI 03-6816-2002 on the Procedure for the Detailing of Reinforced Concrete in Indonesia.
• Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 24 of 2007 on the Standards for
Facilities and Infrastructure for Elementary School, Middle School, and High School.

6 Tie beam is a structure located above the foundation. Its function is to distribute the loads from the upper part of the building to the foundation, ensuring the
loads are evenly distributed to the entire foundation. Additionally, it serves as a locking feature for walls and columns so they will not collapse when the
ground moves. For earthquake resistant buildings, the tie beams are equipped with steel anchors with the diameter of 12 mm. The anchor is attached every
1.5 meters. The distance may vary for bigger buildings or buildings with many floors. In summary, tie beams are reinforced concretes installed horizontally
above the foundation whose function is to distribute the loads from the upper part of the building (walls and columns) to the foundation. They ensure that the
loads are distributed evenly to the foundation. Additionally, they secure the wall, column, and foundation altogether.

30
3. Damages experienced by the building due to the earthquakes occurred found in the study conducted
in Indonesia.
4. The structure system for buildings and houses generally uses the following:
• Wall bearing structure;
• A bearing frame structure consists of simple frame with infill walls to bear the lateral load (load
caused by earthquake) altogether and beam frame structure and rigid columns (infill walls are not
considered as load bearing walls).

Training on earthquake resistant building construction based on the area characteristics and necessity
is aimed at creating more earthquake resistant buildings. The learning approach is based on the adults’
learning process. The method used is participatory training.

Such training provides positive impacts, namely improved knowledge and understanding of builders
regarding earthquake resistant buildings. In order, the training provides improvement to knowledge and
understanding of builders on the terms used for earthquake resistant buildings, primary concept of
earthquake resistant buildings, and construction of earthquake resistant buildings.

This training program is beneficial since it is developed based on the needs of builders to establish
earthquake resistant buildings, supporting the adult’s learning process through a participatory learning
model. Assessment on the training results is conducted to find out the improvement of knowledge,
attitude, and behavior of the participants. Whereas the assessment on the impacts of the training is
aimed to figure out how the learning outcomes affect the life of the participants.

6. Sub-Pillar 6: Construction Supervision


Construction supervision activity is conducted in reference to the Regulation of BNPB Head Number 4
of 2012, in which the Human Resources (HR) implementing the planning, application, construction,
supervision, maintenance, repair, or periodic building assessment must have the competence and
expertise related to the fields relevant to building establishment in accordance with the prevailing
laws and regulations.

Additionally, the construction supervision is a part of construction management. In pursuant to the


Regulation of the Minister of Public Works Number 45 of 2007, the construction supervision includes
the following activities:
a. examining and learning the documents on construction implementation which will be used as the
basis for supervision of the work in the field;
b. supervising the use of materials, equipment, and implementation methods as well as the timely
performance and construction work cost;
c. supervising the construction work in terms of quality, quantity, and the rate of volume
achievement/physical realization;
d. collecting the data and information in the field to solve the problems occur during construction
process;

In addition to the above regulation, the Ministry of Education and Culture also provides reference for
the educational unit receiving the social aid regarding the building physical condition.

In reference to the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 24 of 2013 on the
General Guidelines for the Management and Accountability of Social Aid Expenditure within the
Ministry of Education and Culture, the types of social aid include:
a. physical and non-physical development;
b. physical rehabilitation;
c. provision of facilities and infrastructures;
d. implementation of other activities related to the education and culture sectors; and
e. scholarships.

Social aid in the form of money used by the beneficiaries to procure goods and/or services
independently worked on by/generated by the beneficiaries in self-management. In the regulation, it is
also mentioned that technical guidelines must at least cover the supervision and assessment.

Annually, supervisors from the Inspectorate General of Education and Culture conduct a supervision
on the use of social aid by the educational units. Such a supervision if conducted in 34 provinces, in
which the supervision is selected to be conducted through sampling method, whose number is
adjusted to the number of team exists in each province.

In addition to the Inspectorate General, the technical unit providing the social aid also conducts
monitoring and evaluation (money) as described within the Technical Guidelines for social aid in each
technical directorate. Such money is conducted to all provinces with the higher number of target
districts/cities compared to that of the Inspectorate General for each province. When visiting the field,
the money staff examine the administrative documents required in the technical money such as the
school’s bank statement, the Decision Letter for Classrooms Development Team (TPRK), pictures of
the school’s progress, financial reports, and others. In addition to the administrative documents, the

32
staff also directly monitor the repairment and construction for the physical condition of the buildings
accomplished and register the process in the form provided. The staff also take pictures of all progress
made, when the construction is still 0% up to 100% completed or up to the latest development made
during the money activity. For rehabilitation/establishment of new classrooms utilizing the regional
budget (APBD), the supervision is conducted by the staff from the local Inspectorate General.

7. Sub-pillar 7: Quality Control


Quality control refers to the Regulation of BNPB Head Number 4 of 2012, where the mass media serve
as a means of control in the establishment of safe school/madrasa. Additionally, it also refers to the

8. Sub-Pillar 8: Remodeling or Renovation


Remodeling is often used broadly to describe each type of change made to an established building.
Technically, it is more appropriate to say that remodeling means changing the character of a building or
a part of a building. So, when a medium-sized warehouse attached to a library is converted into a
computer laboratory, then the action taken is remodeling. Or, when a small meeting room is combined
with a teachers’ room to produce a teachers' room in which the center is used as a meeting space, then
the action taken is remodeling.

Renovation is a more specific term, which literally means making updates. Old or outdated classrooms
that are updated and equipped with new whiteboards, lighting and electricity systems (e.g. replacement
of switches, replacement of lamps from hanging neon lights to electricity-saving downlights, etc.) are
considered renovated. Then replacing an old window with a new window is included as a renovation
project. In addition, renovation is a process to repair damaged or outdated structures.

The renovation process can usually be broken down into several stages, which are:
• Planning and designing
• Improving structure
• Rebuilding
• Finishing

34
9. Sub-Pillar 9: Retrofit
Referring to the book “How to Repair Simple Buildings Damaged by Earthquakes”, Teddy Boen and
colleagues (2010), retrofitting is a method of repairing buildings by adding new technology or the
incorporation of new technologies in existing/old systems so as to create a structural reinforcement
process in old buildings and make the building stronger/earthquake resistant and more effective and
efficient in terms of its construction process.

In the event of damage to buildings due to natural disasters (earthquakes), age of buildings, etc., it is
necessary to identify the damage before recommending repairment and retrofitting for the buildings.
Opinions of structural retrofit expert: "If a damaged building is still standing upright, it does not need to
be demolished because it can be repaired and strengthened (efficient in cost and time)"

Classification of problems:
1. Before an earthquake occurs - Weak buildings must be strengthened to withstand earthquakes,
checks (surveys) are carried out and then the analysis is made.
2. Shortly after a destructive earthquake - Immediately install a temporary buffer to support the
component that is heavily damaged and may collapse. After that, immediately carry out emergency
repairs. This action is needed so that the building can function again and does not collapse due to
aftershocks.
3. Once the situation is under control – At this stage, the retrofitting to be done includes: 1) repairment,
2) restoration, and 3) retrofitting (in this case strengthening).

a. Repairment
The main objective is to restore the architectural form of the building so that all
appliances/equipment can function again. Repairment has nothing to do with structural strength.
Actions that are included in the repairment category include:
• Patching cracks on walls, plaster, etc.
• Repairing doors, windows, replacing glass, etc.
• Repairing electrical cables.
• Repairing water pipes, gas pipes, sewers.
• Rebuilding separation walls, fences.
• Re-plastering the walls.

b. Restoration
The aim is to make improvements to the components of the load bearing structure and restore the
original strength.
Actions included in the restoration category are:
• Injecting cement water or epoxy materials (if any) into small cracks found on load bearing walls,
beams or columns.
• Adding reinforcement to the walls of the bearer, beam, or column experiencing big crack for then
to be plastered again.
• Disassembling parts of the split wall and replace them with new walls with stronger mixture and
anchored on the portal.
• Dismantling the damaged column/beam section, repairing the reinforcement, and then casting it
back.

PILLAR 1 - SAFE LEARNING
FACILITIES

c. Strengthening
The aim is to make the building stronger than its original strength. Actions included as
strengthening category are:
• Eliminating the sources of weakness or that can cause tensile concentration in certain parts,
including:
o Asymmetric deployment of columns
o Asymmetric deployment of walls
o Big difference in stiffness between one floor and the other
o Excessive openings
• Making the building as a unit by tying all load bearing component to one another.
• Avoiding brittle destruction by repairing, adding to, and installing reinforcement in accordance
with the details to achieve sufficient ductility.
• Increasing the resistance to lateral loads, by adding walls, columns, etc.

Some requirements for repairment and strengthening are


• Revolutionary changes to construction patterns (simple and according to Building Standards)
• The technique introduced must be easily copied by the local builders
• Local materials must be prioritized
• Materials used are cheap
• The amount of additional costs must be practical

The steps to analyze retrofitting requirements are as follows:

36
The stages of the retrofitting method are carried out as follows:
1. Preparing the design drawings for retrofitting
2. Conducting the retrofitting preparatory work, which begins with:
a. Determination of reliable workforce/developer (contractor)
b. Preparation of the equipment needed (by managing contractor)
c. Procurement of material needed in accordance with the technical specifications of the
Recommendation Document Retrofitting and Design Drawings (with the supervision from the
school/assisting experts)
d. Joint Survey/rechecking of school location as the beginning of work begun among managing
contractors, the school and accompanying experts as well as an explanation of the existence of a
joint inspection process between the managing contractor –– the school –– assisting experts
using a checklist.
3. Strengthening foundation and tie beams connection work
4. Strengthening tie beams and column connection work
5. Strengthening column and wall connection work
6. Strengthening wall surface work
7. Strengthening wall due to cracking work
8. Strengthening roof construction connection work

1. Building Treatment
Carry out the treatment of the state-owned building, it has been regulated in the Regulation of the
Minister of Public Works Number 45/PRT/M 2007 on Technical Guidelines for the Construction of
State-Owned Buildings. Things to consider are as follows:
1.1. Age of Building and Depreciation
a. The age of the building is the period of the building in which it can still fulfill the functions and
reliability of the building, in accordance with the stipulated requirements. For state-owned
buildings (including state-owned houses) the life of the buildings is calculated to be 50 years;
b. Depreciation is the value of building degradation which is calculated equally each year during
the building's lifespan. For state buildings, the depreciation value is 2% per year for buildings
with a minimum salvage value of 20%;
c. Depreciation of a state-owned building that is built with semi-permanent construction is 4%
per year, while for emergency construction, it is 10% per year with a minimum salvage value
of 20%.

1.2. Building Damage


Building damage is the non-functioning of buildings or building components due to
shrinkage/expiration of the age of the building, or due to human behavior or nature such as
excessive function load, fire, earthquake, or other similar causes. The intensity of building
damage can be classified into three levels of damage, which are:
a. Minor damage - Minor damage is a damage mainly occurs to non-structural components,
such as roof coverings, ceilings, floor coverings and infill walls.
b. Medium damage - Medium damage is a damage occurs to some non-structural components
and/or structural components such as roof, floor, etc.

PLANNING AND FOREIGN COOPERATION BUREAU, SECRETARIAT-GENERAL OF THE MINISTRY 37


OF EDUCATION AND CULTURE - 2015
MODULE
1
PILLAR 1 - SAFE LEARNING
FACILITIES

c. Major damage - Major damage is a damage occurs to most building components, both
structural and non-structural, which if properly repaired may restore the building functionality.

Determination of the damage level can be conducted after a consultation with the local
technical agency responsible for building construction.

1.3. Building Treatment


a. Building treatment is an effort to repair the damage that occurs so that the building can
function properly as it should. Building treatment can be classified according to the damage
level of the building as follows:
1) Treatment for minor level of damage;
2) Treatment for medium level of damage;
3) Treatment for major level of damage;
b. The amount of treatment costs is adjusted to the level of damage, which is determined as
follows:
1) Treatment for a minor level of damage, the maximum cost is 30% of the highest applicable
price of constructing a new building, for the same type/class and location;
2) Treatment for a medium level of damage, the maximum cost is 45% of the highest
applicable price of constructing a new building, for the same type/class and location;
3) Treatment for a major level of damage, the maximum cost is 65% of the highest applicable
price of constructing a new building, for the same type/class and location;
c. For treatment requiring special handling or to improve the form of a building, such as through
renovation activities, the amount of treatment costs is calculated according to the real needs
and consulted in advance with the local Technical Agency.

1.4. Building Maintenance


a. Building maintenance is an effort to maintain the condition of the building so that it continues
to meet the requirements of proper functioning or to improve the shape of the building, and to
protect against damaging effects;
b. Building maintenance is also an effort to avoid component/building elements damages due to
obsolescence before the end of its lifespan;
c. The cost of building maintenance depends on the function and classification of buildings.
Maintenance costs per m2 of the building per year is maximum 2% of the highest standard
price per m2.
d. Maintenance of school buildings is as follows.
1) Light maintenance, including repainting, repairing part of windows/doors, floor coverings,
roof coverings, ceilings, water and electricity installations, is carried out at least once in 5
years.
2) Heavy maintenance, including replacement of roof truss, ceiling frame, wooden frame, sills,
and all roof coverings, carried out at least once in 20 years.

38
To ensure that the school building will perform during and after the time stated in the design,
creating a maintenance program is very important. A strong school maintenance program consists
of three main components: organization, inspection and maintenance plans.
a. Organization - A basic structure of the organization will include the general coordinator and the
people or teams responsible for a particular school area. If maintenance fund is not sufficient to
carry out the maintenance tasks, a fund-finding coordinator should be sought. It is recommended
for students and community members to fill this role.
b. Maintenance plan - The maintenance plan consists of an inspection schedule, the party in charge,
inspection items and corrective responses that must be taken if problems arise.
c. Inspection - Final assessment after the completion of construction or retrofitting work will be used
as a benchmark for all future inspections. If during routine inspections a problem is found that is
beyond the capacity of the maintenance team to handle or if the building undergoes major
changes (such as damage caused by a hazardous event), then advice from a qualified expert
must be sought.

The amount of maintenance costs will vary depending on the design and age of the building and the
availability of the resources needed to make repairs. Generally, the annual budget for maintenance
ranges from 1-2% of capital costs Entering the cost of re-maintenance into the school construction
or retrofitting budget will provide support for a longer period of time in maintaining a safe learning
environment. The school community will be given responsibility in maintaining school facilities. It is
recommended to review the maintenance and reporting tasks together with the responsible
community organizations and, if needed, facilitate efforts to determine the roles, responsibilities,
documentation and reporting mechanisms. The cost of rebuilding damaged schools is far greater
than maintenance costs.

2. Non-Structural Mitigation
Mitigation is divided into two types, namely structural mitigation and non-structural mitigation:
a. Structural Mitigation
Structural mitigation is an effort to reduce disaster risk through the construction of various physical
infrastructures and use of technological approaches, such as the construction of special canals for
flood prevention, detection of volcanic activity, earthquake-resistant buildings, or Early Warning
Systems used to predict the occurrence of tsunami waves.

Structural mitigation is an effort to reduce vulnerability to disasters by means of disaster-resistant


building technical engineering. Disaster-resistant buildings are buildings with a structure that is
planned in such a way to able to survive or experience damage that is not harmful if the disaster
occurs. Technical engineering is a procedure of building structure design that has taken into account
the characteristics of the action from a disaster.

b. Non-Structural Mitigation
Non-structural mitigation is an effort to reduce disaster risk other than structural mitigation efforts

mentioned above. It can be within the scope of policy making efforts such as making a
regulation/guideline. Disaster Management Law Number 24 of 2007 is a non-structural effort in the
field of mitigation policy. Other examples are the creation of urban spatial planning, community
capacity building, advocacy and promotion, and even reviving various other activities that are useful
for strengthening community capacity, which are also part of this mitigation. This is all done for, by
and in the communities living around the disaster-prone areas.

Non-structural policies include legislation, regional planning, and insurance. Of course, beforehand
risk identification needs to be done. Physical risk assessment includes the process of identifying
and evaluating the possibility of a disaster and the possible impacts. Mitigation policies, both
structural and non-structural, must support each other. The use of technology to predict, anticipate
and reduce the disaster risk must be balanced with the creation and enforcement of an adequate
set of regulations that are supported by an appropriate spatial plan.
Often the occurrence of floods and landslides in rainy season and drought in several places in
Indonesia during the dry season are mostly caused by weak law enforcement and spatial use of the
area that is not in accordance with the surrounding environment. Technology that is used to predict,
anticipate and reduce the disaster risk must be sought so as not to disrupt the environmental
balance in the future.

3. Fire Safety
Each state-owned building must have fire prevention and mitigation facilities, in accordance with the
requirements stipulated in:
• Decree of the Minister of Public Works Number 10/KPTS/2000 on Technical Terms of Protection
Against Fire Hazard on Building and Environment; and
• Regional Regulation on Building and Regional Regulation on Fire Hazard Management and
Prevention;
as well as the relevant technical standards.

Requirements on Building Capacity Against Fire Hazard:


a. Passive Protection System
Passive protection system is a protection system against fire performed by setting the building
components in architectural and structural aspects in such a way to protect the occupants and
objects from physical damage during fire.

Every building, except single occupancy and simple row houses, must have the design-based
passive protection system against fire that protects the belongings or setting of architectural and
structural components to provide protection for the occupants and objects from physical damage
during fire. The implementation of passive protection system is based on the function/classification
of fire risk, spatial geometry, installed building materials, and/or the number and condition of the
building’s occupants. Things to be taken into account in the passive protection system include:
performance requirements, fire-resistance and stability, fire-resistant construction type, required
construction type, compartmentalization and division, and protection on outlets.

40
Passive protection system must follow:

hazards on building.

In the event that other requirements are not yet included, or made into an SNI, the formal standards
and/or technical guidance is used.

b. Active Protection System


Active protection system is a protection system against fire performed through the use of equipment
that are capable of working automatically or manually by the building’s occupants and fire fighters in
the firefighting. In addition, this system is used in the initial phase of fire management.

Every building, except single occupancy and simple row houses, has to be protected against fire
hazards through active protection. The implementation of active protection system is based on the
function, classification, area, altitude, building volume, and/or the numbers and condition of the
building’s occupants.

Things to be taken into account in active protection system include:


• Firefighting System;
• Fire Detection and Alarm System;
• Smoke Control System; and
• Fire-Control Center

Active protection system must follow:


(1) SNI 03-1745-2000 on procedures for the planning and installation of standpipe and cross-
connection piping system for fire hazards prevention on building.
(2) SNI 03-3985-2000 on procedures for the planning, installation, and testing of fire detection and
alarm system for fire hazards prevention on building;

CHAPTER III
ACHIEVEMENT INDICATORS
(STANDARDS)
From facilities and infrastructure aspects, disaster-safe schools can be understood as schools that
fulfill the facilities and infrastructure standards to protect the school community and the surrounding
environment from risks of disaster.

In pursuant to the Regulation of BNPB Head Number 4 of 2012, the indicators for disaster-safe school
facilities and infrastructures are as follows:
1. Does not collapse when experiencing a disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and effects of volcano
eruption) in line with the plan
• In the event of minor earthquake, the building does not experience any damage
• In the event of moderate earthquake, the building may experience damage on its non-structural
elements, the structural elements do not experience any damage
• In the event of major earthquake, the building may experience non-structural and structural
elements damage, but does not collapse, partially or entirely, and the damages incurred must be
repairable. Building does not collapse due to its ductility. The building structure must be planned
to have ductility so that during the planned maximum load application condition and the structure
collapses, its occupants may still survive. (Government Regulation Number 36 of 2005 on the
Implementation of Law Number 28 of 2002 on Building Article 33 sub-article 4)
2. The dropped objects do not cause any harm to humans, including dangerous objects both inside
and outside the building
3. The school design facilitates the emergency evacuation of people from the building to a safer place
(sufficient number of doors, outward-facing door opening, emergency route, etc.)
4. Provides an exit route and safe access
5. Has safe muster points
6. Dangerous objects around the building are identified and known to students and teachers
7. Emergency route and evacuation location are known to students and teachers
