Reducing Earthquake Risk to Non-Engineered Buildings: A Study of Design and Construction Practices in Indonesia
This paper reports on a research study which examined the technical and societal-human elements significant to seismic risk reduction for non-engineered buildings. The aim was to explore the potential for reducing earthquake risk to non-engineered buildings within the context of design and construction practices in Indonesia. ’Non-engineered’ buildings were defined as unsystematically designed and poorly built structures. These buildings are particularly susceptible to earthquakes and dominate construction indigenous to Indonesia and other parts of the Asia Pacific region. A better understanding of both the technical and human elements impacting on the design and construction of non-engineered buildings will enable earthquake risk reduction measures to be developed in Indonesia. Moreover, knowledge and capabilities developed there will be of interest throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
