Risk Level Fire Emergency Handling among Semarang Heritage Area

The revitalisation of Semarang Old Town is considered very necessary and has a positive value. It has a negative impact that must be handled. Revitalisation is expected to increase the tourist attractions of Semarang. In other words, the higher level of activity and occupancy that occurs in Semarang old city and without realising it, the higher the fire risk will happen in the Semarang Old City Area. This study aims to analyse the density of buildings related to fire handling risks and spatially based area fire risk analysis. The Fire Risk Index method was adopted from the ARICA method from Portugal to determine the level of fire risk. The FRI method is a simplification method of the ARICA method, which is devoted to cultural heritage buildings. The FRI method results in the form of the level of building risk, namely low, medium, high, to the extreme. The results of the FRI method and the analysis of building density are presented in the form of mapping using spatial data processing applications. The FRI method in the Old City area obtained the average building in medium and low-risk levels. The risk map gives rise to solutions and handling that can be applied to the region as appropriate disaster mitigation to continue realising an area safe from fire disasters.
