Design of a Natural Disaster Management Center in East Nusa Tenggara Province Using a Sustainable Architecture Approach

Abstract

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province is prone to natural disasters, but its disaster management institutions are scattered, hampering coordination and rapid response. The design of the Natural Disaster Management Center (PPBA) with a Sustainable Architecture approach aims to improve operational efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. The design uses a descriptive qualitative approach with literature study methods, field observations, interviews and studies. The Sustainable Architecture approach refers to principles such as optimizing site potential, energy efficiency, water protection and conservation, selection of environmentally friendly products, improving indoor environmental quality, and optimizing building operations and maintenance. The design results of each of these principles are applied comprehensively in the design of PPBA: site potential is optimized through north-south building orientation, utilization of natural contours, infrastructure optimization, energy efficiency through natural lighting and ventilation and the use of solar panels, water conservation through a system of infiltration wells and rainwater recycling, environmentally friendly materials such as brick, wood, natural stone. the quality of the room environment is optimized with good air circulation and lighting, and building operations and maintenance are optimized with efficient and sustainable facility management. There are four main zones of the building: visitor service, operational, management and service. The building structure is designed to be earthquake resistant according to SNI 03-1726-2002. The design of this building is expected to be an efficient and sustainable disaster education model for disaster-prone areas.
