Summary: | Fire hazard is an unpredictable disaster and can occur anytime and anywhere with
the risk of destroying buildings and the value of authenticity contained in them. In
the temple building, the activities carried out are not far from the use of fire in the
building. Worship, ceremonies, traditions, and offerings, have sources of fire that
are always there and in various forms. It is necessary to take preventive measures
to minimize the possibility of a fire disaster that occurs in the building. Precautions
are generally regulated by safety standards. Unfortunately, not all of these
standards can be applied to temple buildings in the Chinatown area. The temples
that are scattered in the Chinatown area are cultural heritage buildings. In the
technical safety standard, the temple is classified as class 9b, which is a type of
meeting building, which includes religious buildings. In the technical standard for
this class of buildings, there are seven variables that need to be assessed for their
application in each temple in the Chinatown area. These variables are five for
passive security systems: construction, separation walls, compartmentalization,
protection and openings, and electrical safety systems, and two for environmental
and building access points, namely: environmental and building access points and
yard hydrants. The assessment was carried out by means of descriptions and
rubrics from the results of observations and interviews with informants who are
involved in the culture and customs of the temple. The description results are linked
to the rules of feng shui culture to find possible measures related to fire hazard
prevention. After that, a statistical count was carried out with the JMP program to
find the average of the preventive measures at each temple in the Chinatown area.
The results found two actions that needed to be intervened in the Chinatown area
temple, namely: first, improvements to variables that had not been carried out at
all in each temple, such as the provision of yard hydrants, in the form of water
sources for fire disaster management, electrical safety systems, which were only
attached to buildings without there is security, and protection of openings in the
form of evacuation routes and possible protection. The second is an increase,
namely upgrading of existing variables but still not meeting standards, such as
construction, and environmental access points to buildings. Considering that the
temple building in the Chinatown area is a cultural heritage, the results of
recommendations for corrective actions and improving the quality of prevention
still prioritize and maintain the authenticity of the materials, aesthetics, and
historical value of the building. |
