Linda Nailufar*, Budi Witjaksana, Esti Wulandari — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The rescheduling of the initial schedule carried out on the Bahtera Elang Perak Indonesia Office Construction project has an impact on increasing the duration of work causing the project completion target to be delayed from the time it should be. Increasing the project completion target can affect the amount of costs incurred. The contract value for this office construction project is Rp. 13,908,226,157 with a work duration of 43 weeks to 54 weeks. The current condition of work progress at week 31 is -0.225% while the total actual cost or that has been incurred during the work is Rp. 3,191,740,254. To overcome this, an analysis is carried out on the value of the estimate at complete (EAC) and time estimate (TE) of the Surabaya BEPI Office Construction Project using the earned value method. This method combines the elements of cost, schedule, and work performance. The earned value method aims to determine the estimated cost and time of project completion. From the results of the analysis conducted in the 41st week, it was obtained that the estimated cost and time to complete the project implementation (EAC) was 14,289,833,105, - and the estimated time (TE) was 499 days, which was 121 days later than the original schedule.

Arianti Widi Astasari*, Wateno Oetomo, Sajiyo — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

As one of the largest cities in Indonesia, the City of Surabaya has an obligation to provide excellent health services for its residents. It goes without saying that Surabaya City Government is required to provide a General Hospital that can receive referrals from the government-owned Community Health Centers. For this reason, the Surabaya City Government built the East Surabaya Hospital which is located in Rungkut Sub-District. East Surabaya Hospital is a strategic project that requires investment feasibility analysis. The East Surabaya Hospital investment feasibility analysis was done by applying the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period (PP) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) parameters. After the feasibility analysis results were obtained, a sensitivity analysis was done on changes in management costs and the amount of health service levy rates for each Fees alternative. Based on the results of the investment feasibility analysis of 4 (four) Fees alternatives, there are 2 alternatives that can be concluded as worthy investments, which are alternative 1 and alternative 3. Meanwhile, alternative 2 and alternative 4 are not feasible since the NPV parameter shows negative values and the IRR value is lower than the MARR value. However, based on sensitivity analysis, alternatives 2 and 4 can be feasible if alternative 2’s service rate is increased by 13.2%, and alternative 4’s service rate is increased by 2.3%. The opposite applies in alternative 1 where the investment might become unfeasible if the service rate is reduced by more than 5.4% and alternative 3 might become unfeasible if the service rate is reduced by more than 2.5%.

Ade Sholeh Hartawan*, Budi Witjaksana, Esti Wulandari — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In a construction project, preparation work typically includes tasks related to setting up work facilities, conducting field investigations, obtaining permits, and non-structural activities. The Jakarta Sewerage Development Project Zone 1, Package 2, which involves the construction of sewers in Area 1-1, is currently in the preparation phase and is experiencing challenges due to a complex permit process. This has led to minimal progress as the initial project planning did not consider the time needed to secure the necessary permits for implementation. The author is therefore evaluating the project timeline to gauge performance during the preparation phase before actual construction begins. This study utilizes the Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling technique in Microsoft Project to pinpoint critical activities. Upon analysis, it was found that the budget plan for Package 2 of the Jakarta Sewerage Development Project (Zone 1) was detailed and included various work descriptions, with a total budget of IDR 862,292,086,196. However, delays have occurred, resulting in a 17-day setback in the project schedule, necessitating work acceleration. To bring the project duration back in line with the original schedule as per the contract, acceleration was required. This was carried out on the Shaft Construction C-8.1, which was initially set to take 80 days but was shortened to 63 days through time acceleration, incurring a cost of IDR 23,279,288.

Leo Agus Sulistianto*, Budi Witjaksana, Esti Wulandari — Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Provision of Sports Prasarana is an attempt to fulfill the basic rights of the public to obtain services in sports activities, as listed in Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2022 concerning Sports 2022. The growing automotive industry is one important sector that significantly contributes to Indonesian economic growth. Based on the Surabaya City for 2021-2026 calls for the creation of an integrated area, with the Gelora Bung Tomo area serving as an international sports center and integrating with the growth of trade and service functions in Surabaya's surrounding areas. The aim of this study is to measure the amount of investment income and revenue limits in an effort to reduce the risks associated with the investment in the circuit. We carry out flow calculations using the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), and Payback Period (PP) methods, and then analyze the sensitivity. We reviewed the sensitivity analysis based on several parameters, including commercial rent income and circuit management costs. The development of Tomo's Gelora Circuit is sensitive to a loss of income from the rental of business or commercial premises of 8%, which will affect a decline in profit, resulting in a negative net present value (NPV) and prolonging the rate of return. Additionally, it is sensitive to an increase in management costs by 12%.

The data collected was analysed qualitatively by giving a severity rating to each problem found, ranging from Good Practice to Major Issue. The results showed that copywriting on the website has some strengths in terms of consistency of writing and attractive visuals, but there are deficiencies in the emotional aspects of language, lack of detailed product descriptions, and ineffective calls-to-action. From the evaluation, 5 major issues, 4 normal issues, 2 minor issues, and 1 good practice were found. This research provides recommendations for improvement, such as the use of more emotional language and improved visual layout to increase user engagement and conversion on the Papillon's Sisters website.

Utilization of Gamification-Based Media in an Effort to Make Learning Fun and Change the Mindset of Parents About the Importance of Children's Education

Wening Patmi Rahayu*, Rachmad Hidayat — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The use of technological and informational developments in education today needs to be implemented selectively. This selective approach aims to make educational activities more meaningful and help achieve desired learning goals. One such technological development is the utilization of gamification-based learning media. Gamification media is designed to be engaging, combining games with educational content. This approach benefits students during learning activities, as they remain engaged and understand the material better. In this context, parental involvement in children's education is equally important in supporting the development of learning activities. Community service activities integrated into learning programs help maintain quality standards and positively impact educational outcomes. Quality education, in turn, helps create quality human resources. Teachers can effectively utilize gamification media to enhance their lesson material. The success of these community service activities represents one approach to improving the distribution of quality education for all.
