Assessment of The Building Reliability From Fire Hazards in Cikurubuk Market Tasikmalaya

Abstract

Condition that describes an emergency and gives impact of loss or damage if it is not handled properly and quickly is fire. One of the causes of fires is the lack of adequate infrastructure and facilities for building fire protection systems, especially in traditional markets. The research carried out focused on the components of site completeness, namely water sources, road environment, distance between buildings, and outdoor hydrants. Site completeness is one of the prerequisites that must be fulfilled to create building reliability and environmental conditions from fire risk. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of reliability of the building safety system and the environment from fire hazards. The research method used in this research is analytical descriptive method where the examination and recording of existing conditions in the field are the initial stages in the research and become the basis for more depth analysis. The observation location is in Cikurubuk Market, Cikurubuk market is the largest traditional market in Tasikmalaya and this market has experienced fire in 2009 and 2015. The results of the reliability assessment of site completeness aspects obtained in accordance with the calculations based on the existing provisions obtained a value of 14.6 out of 25 or equivalent to 58.40% so it can be concluded that the site feasibility conditions for fire protection systems in the Cikurubuk market are still low.
