Natural disasters are events caused by events or a series of events caused by nature. Natural disasters include earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts, hurricanes, and landslides. Indonesia has a very high threat of geological disasters, making it vulnerable to tectonic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Lack of awareness of the Indonesian people about disaster preparedness will increase the impact of disaster events. Mount Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. For this reason, disaster preparedness is critical, especially for people in Disaster Prone Areas (DPA) III. This study aimed to determine the level of individual/household readiness index in DPA III in facing the eruption of Mount Merapi. The results showed that the readiness of individuals/households in DPA III was in the "ready" category with an index value of 75,440. While the index values of each parameter are knowledge and attitude parameters (93,978), emergency response plan parameters (68,591), disaster warning system parameters (74,46), and resource mobilization parameters (36,129). The resource mobilization parameter has the lowest index value based on these four parameters, followed by the emergency response plan parameter. Therefore, in this case, the Government, the Regional Disaster Management Agency, and the community need to prioritize awareness-raising and strategies for increasing index values for these two parameters.

Education unit that carries out educational activities in the form of academics, include high schools, institutes, or universities. The leaders, lecturers, and employees must pay attention to customer satisfaction from the perspective of students as consumers. Student satisfaction must be the basis of management decisions, so universities must make increasing student satisfaction a fundamental goal. Total Quality Management (TQM) is a quality management system that focuses on customers by involving all levels of employees in continuous improvement. The education system, which prioritizes the tertiary education system, currently facing struggle for survival and increased pressure from stakeholders need to support "Delighting Customers" to continue to be relevant and sustainable in the future. "Delighting the Customer" is basically the core message in TQM. TQM is used as a workmanship in the research method. In this study we discuss and apply TQM concepts that are relevant for every aspect of academic life, namely for competition, learning and administration activities. This paper presents some results of a study investigating the quality in higher education. The case study involved industrial engineering Diponegoro University and data collected using TQM. The instrument consists of dimensions including Teaching students well, Availability of staff for student consultation, Library services, Computing facilities, Recreational facilities, Class size, Level and difficulty of subject content, and Student workload. The study involves carrying out mapping using the importance satisfaction matrix method whereby data is obtained through questionnaire distributed to students at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Diponegoro. From the survey collected, 300 respondents passed the validity and reliability test. Then the gap score was calculated using the Gap Analysis method and mapping done using the Importance Satisfaction Matrix method. The results of the study using the student satisfaction inventory method found that the dimensions of computing facilities have the most significant score gap and, in the mapping, using the importance satisfaction matrix obtained 8 attributes falls in quadrant I, which indicate these variables has below average satisfaction levels but the level of importance is quite high.

One of the problems with the growth of batik industrial clusters in Indonesia is the interest of business owners to consistently develop new ideas and creativity through product and process innovation. This problem causes most of the SMEs in Batik in the industrial cluster to experience a decline in turnover and difficulty meeting customer needs and desires. This study focuses on the function of knowledge management as a mediator and tries to develop a conceptual model that describes the impact of entrepreneurial orientation, industrial cluster, and knowledge management on the innovation performance of the batik industry cluster. This study uses the SEM PLS method to test the effect of these variables. The test results show that entrepreneurial orientation and industrial clusters significantly affect innovation performance, and knowledge management is a mediator of this influence. The study's findings might be consulted when developing a plan to boost the effectiveness of innovations in the batik industrial cluster. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The supply chain is also a significant aspect in project infrastructure because almost all activities in it are included in the supply chain. Good supply chain management have a positive impact on the construction projects development. The way to determine the condition of the supply chain in construction is by measuring the supply chain performance. This research was conducted on The Sikatak Bridge construction project in Indonesia. The several constraints that occur are changing the pillar body design that make having a more time to finish, delaying in material delivery, and the bad weather conditions. Based on those problems, performance assessment can be done using the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) method. The result of the study is there are 10 indicators of supply chain performance assessment and in this study uses only four indicators because the determination of indicators is based on the needs of the project and project data actual. The indicators used in this study are Perfect Order Fulfillment (POF), Total Supply chain Management Cost (TSCM), Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and Return on Supply chain Fixed Cost (ROF).

The creative industry (CI) is considered to promote human development while promoting the economic growth. It maintains and protects historical and cultural heritage, improve cultural capital, and foster communities as well as individual creativity. Although there is widespread classification of the CI, the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia has classified CI into 16 sub-sectors, i.e., (1) advertising, (2) architecture, (3) interior design, (4) product design, (5) craft, (6) visual communication design, (7) fashion, (8) film, animation, and video (9) photography, (10) application and game developers, (11) music, (12) performing arts, (13) publishing, (14) fine arts (15) TV and radio (broadcasting), and (16) gastronomy/culinary. The creative industry is an industry that originates from the use of creativity, skills and individual talents to create prosperity and employment by generating and exploiting the individual's creative and creative power. Batik industry is one of Creative Industry in Indonesia which plays an important role in the economic development. However, the Batik are facing difficulties in many areas, especially in spending their scarce resources efficiently. A case study to assess the efficiency of the Batik enterprises has been conducted by applying the data envelopment analysis in Semarang, Indonesia. The results show that from ten assigned Batik enterprises, there are nine enterprises’ that are considered efficient, while the rest are regarded as inefficient. This research is expected to give some advantages to the Batik enterprises’ regarding how to use their limited resources in an efficient way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
