Working together to drive change: weaving caring for Country practices into fire risk management on Djiringanj Country

Story-telling about place: Engaging citizens in cultural mapping

Fire is a common risk in the oil and gas processing industry such as PT Pertamina Asset 4 Field Sukowati. Fire risk management is important to prevent large damages and losses in the fire incidence. This study aims to describe fire risk management at PT Pertamina Asset 4 Field Sukowati. It is hoped that it can be useful as a reference for evaluating companies to improve fire risk management performance. This research is classified as observational descriptive research with purposive sampling data collection method. The analysis of the study used the Risk Management based on AS / NZS 4360: 2004 reference. The results showed that fire risk at PT Pertamina Asset 4 in Sukowati Field based on the stages of work varied from low, medium to high. The fire protection system at PT Pertamina Aset 4 Field Sukowati generally shows good conditions and is well monitored. Fire emergency response planning and organization are also adequate. Unfortunately, fire emergency response simulations have not been carried out regularly, so evaluating the success of fire risk management programs is difficult to measure. The recommendation in this study is the measurement of workers' preparedness as a follow-up to the implementation of fire emergency response simulations. It is because high worker preparedness is the key to implementing good fire risk management. Keyword: Risk management; Fire; PT Pertamina

The connection between cultural identity, sustainable cultural tourism and globalization is considered. The importance of the authentic characteristics of the destinations and the unique elements of their cultural identity is emphasized. The author defends the thesis that sustainable cultural tourism is the best model for local tourism development in a global context.

This article presents building fire risk analysis model based on scenario clusters and its application in fire risk management of buildings. Building fire risk analysis is a process of understanding and characterizing the fire hazards, the unwanted outcomes that may result from the fire, and the probabilities of fire and unwanted outcomes occurring. The purpose is to evaluate and make a decision about the level of fire risk to determine whether to take appropriate risk management measures or not. Therefore, building fire risk analysis serves as a basis for fire risk management. In the paper, scenario clusters are constructed in the process of building fire risk analysis, and the number of deaths and directive property loss are selected as building fire risk indexes. Finally, the average fire risk of residential buildings is quantified in detail. With the types of detailed fire risk models developed here, fire risk management measures could be taken to improve the building fire safety grading and reduce fire risk levels and subsequent damage.

이 연구는 1981년부터 석전대제에 연행해 온 현행 문묘일무와 2006년부터 기존 문묘일무의 개선을 주장하는 두 일무간의 쟁점을 검토하여 국가무형문화재로서 가치 있는 전형은 어떤 것이 되어야 하는가를 점검하려는데 목적이 있다. 전자는 고성경린·김기수 등의 이왕직아악부 출신 악사들의 선험적 지식과 김영숙 현 일무보존회 회장이 1976년 이래 함께 복원·재현하여 석전의례에 사용해 온 일무를 말한다. 후자는 1998년 임학선 교수가 성균관대학교 무용학과에 부임하면서 문묘일무에 관심을 갖게 되었고, 이를 연구하는 과정에서 기존 일무의 문제점을 발견하고 새로운 양식의 일무를 개발하여 2007년 이래 국가무형문화재로서의 대상 일무 교체를 주장해 온 것을 말한다. 임학선은 전자의 일무에 대해 대략 두 가지 문제점을 제기하였다. 우선 문무에 대해서는 무보의 그림과 일치하지 않는 김영숙의 일무동작에 대해 춤사위 술어 해석이 잘못되었기 때문이라고 지적하였다. 다른 한 가지는 『반궁예악전서』의 아헌과 종헌의 문무를 무무로 임의 해석한 전자의 잘못을 지적하였다. 임학선은 전자의 무무 대신 명대(明代) 주재육(朱載堉)의 『악률전서(樂律全書)』 소무(小舞)의 간척무 사용을 대안으로 제시하였다. 하지만 이 연구 결과는 한국적 고유성이나 전통과 무관한 것이므로, 역사적 계통성을 고려하지 못한 또 다른 문제점을 안게 되었다. 본 연구는 이상의 내용을 기초로 두 가지 쟁점을 살피고, 이를 극복할 방법으로 석전대제의 국가무형문화재로서의 전통성과 고유성을 담지 할 수 있는 문묘일무의 전형을 역사적인 면에서 검토하였다. 결과적으로 현재 완비되지 못한 문묘제례일무를 다시 연구해야 한다고 보았다. 전문적이며 객관적인 연구가 이루어질 수 있도록 국가적 연구 지원 및 관리 시스템을 구축할 필요에 대해 제기하였다.In this study, I investigate a desirable model for Seokjeon daeje (釋奠大祭, ancestral rites for Confucius) as an intangible cultural asset by examining the controversies surrounding the munmyoilmu (文廟佾舞 (Civil Shrine Line Dance), which has been performed as part of Seokjeondaeje since 1981. I also examine another style of line dance that has been advocated for as a replacement to the Civil Shrine Line Dance since 2006. The Munmyo ilmu is a choreographed dance based on the knowledge of musicians from the Royal Music Institute of the Yi Household (Yiwangjik aakbu 李王職雅樂部), including Seong Gyeong-lin and Kim Ki-su. Since 1976, it has been restored and reproduced by Kim Young-sook, chairman of The Ilmu Conservation Society. However, many controversies surround the Munmyo line dance: Yim Hak-seon, professor at Sungkyunkwan University’s dance department since 1976, started the argument for replacing the dance. She discovered several problems with the old ilmu and proposed a new style of line dance. Since 2007, she has advocated for rescinding the status of the old ilmu as an intangible cultural asset. Professor Yim has highlighted two issues with the old line dance. First she argued that the dance moves in the civil munmu (文舞) dance do not correspond to the depictions in several books, and that this is because Kim Young-sook misinterpreted their descriptions. Second, she noticed a misinterpretation of munmu (civil dance) as mumu (武舞, military dance) in the aheon (亞獻) and Jongheon (終獻) volumes of the Bangungyeakjeonseo (泮宮禮樂全書 Complete collection of ritual music from Ban Palace). Professor Yim proposed replacing the military mumu dance with the gancheok (axe) dance (干戚舞) from the somu (小舞 “small dance”) repertoire of the in Akryuljeonseo (樂律全書 The Complete Records of the Ritual Tone System), a book written by Joo Jae-yook (朱載堉) of the Ming Dynasty. However, since the proposed dance lacks the distinctiveness and traditional aspects of Korean dance, this idea fails to consider historical pedigree. Therefore, adopting a historical viewpoint, I examine the above mentioned problems and propose a model for the munmyo ilmu that can represent both the distinctiveness and traditional aspects of the Seokjeon daeje as an intangible cultural asset. I conclude that new research on the Civil Shrine line dance needs to be conducted, and the government needs to provide support in this regard, and a formal management system should be established for professional and objective research in this field.

Towards a systemic approach to fire risk management

Creating employment opportunities and increasing the national income, the tourism sector contributes to increased prosperity. In the Tenth Development Plan of Turkey covering the 2014-2018 period, it has been emphasized that sustainable tourism activities will be enhanced within the scope of an environmentally sensitive and responsible tourism understanding and the sociocultural and environmental degradation associated with tourism will be reduced. In the implementation of tourism activities for local and regional economic development, the main objective is minimizing the impact on the environment and socio-cultural structures.In this study, sustainable tourism opportunities in settlements, of which development is based on tourism, are elaborated and the Goreme Municipality, whose tangible and intangible cultural assets are at risk of being lost due to the indirect effects of uncontrolled tourism, are chosen as the study area. Settlements such as Goreme that owe their economic development success to culture tourism have to protect their existing natural, cultural, and social features in order to ensure the continuation of this development. While conservation of the gained identities of settlements is a necessity for urban and regional development, it is also a requirement to feel the sense of belonging to the city or the region. The Goreme Municipality is a settlement with an identity thanks to the existence of a cultural landscape and in such settlements, although the main objective of tourism is to enhance the quality of life economic viability, the sustainability of tangible and intangible assets that should be protected should not be thrown into the background. However, the study results suggest that with the transformation of the old residential buildings of the region built using traditional materials to hotels due to demand pressures, the local population becomes alienated from the town and the culture around them.The sustainability of the intangible cultural heritage has not been achieved; the real estate in the region changed hands with the appeal of hotel investments to investors out of the region; and the low level of utilization of the local people from increased revenues has led to a failure in ensuring regional development and a fall in the quality of life of residents in the area. It is understood that in case the current trends continue, tourism will have a damaging structure rather than providing economic contribution for the local com

Gas Engine Power Plants (GEPPs) are critical energy infrastructure, but their operation, involving combustible gases and high-voltage equipment, creates inherent fire hazards. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of fire disaster preparedness and risk management at the Sei Gelam GEPP, Jambi, Indonesia. Addressing a gap in location-specific industrial emergency readiness, this research uniquely integrates three assessment dimensions: Building Safety Reliability Value (BSRV), detailed fire management protocols, and worker preparedness. Employing a semi-qualitative approach with field observations, interviews, and questionnaires, the study provides a holistic safety ecosystem evaluation. Results indicate high readiness levels: the overall BSRV scored 96.34% (“Good”). Fire management units (role officers, firefighting teams, and coordinators) were also rated “Good” (scores of 100, 93, and 86, respectively). Furthermore, worker preparedness achieved a “Very Prepared” index value of 86. Despite these strengths, the analysis highlights specific areas for enhancement, including improving smoke exhaust systems, continuous competency development for fire control unit coordinators, and conducting more complex, realistic fire simulations. This research validates the facility's robust compliance while providing actionable, evidence-based recommendations for sustaining and enhancing emergency readiness in critical energy infrastructure.

The history of nuclear power development shows that fire is one of the important risks faced by nuclear power plants, and the harm to nuclear power plants cannot be ignored. As scientific and technological innovation is playing an increasingly important role in changing social production and life, it is necessary to explore the application of information technology to comprehensively improve the technological, informational and intelligent level of fire fighting work, and improve the efficiency of fire fighting management through the deep integration of fire safety and intelligence in nuclear power field. This paper analyzes the current status of fire safety management in domestic nuclear power plants. It takes the fire load refinement and intelligent management as an example to discuss and propose optimization suggestions for nuclear power plant fire safety management. Based on Performance-based and Risk-informed nuclear power fire safety management, Establish corresponding risk assessment guidelines to provide risk-informed decision-making advice for fire safety work. Develop nuclear power plant fire safety risk management application tools according to risk management methods. It can monitor the important fire hazard areas in real time, effectively supervise the new fire risk areas of nuclear power plants, quantitatively assess the fire risk and formulate coping strategies, and upgrade and optimize existing fire management methods. The fire safety risk management method covers risk-informed fire risk management to all fire protection fields of nuclear power plants, and develops fire safety management of nuclear power plants in a refined, informational and intelligent direction, greatly improving the fire safety management of nuclear power plants Level.

Digital data on tangible and intangible cultural assets is an essential part of daily life, communication and experience. It has a lasting influence on the perception of cultural identity as well as on the interactions between research, the cultural economy and society. Throughout the last three decades, many cultural heritage institutions have contributed a wealth of digital representations of cultural assets (2D digital reproductions of paintings, sheet music, 3D digital models of sculptures, monuments, rooms, buildings), audio-visual data (music, film, stage performances), and procedural research data such as encoding and annotation formats. The long-term preservation and FAIR availability of research data from the cultural heritage domain is fundamentally important, not only for future academic success in the humanities but also for the cultural identity of individuals and society as a whole. Up to now, no coordinated effort for professional research data management on a national level exists in Germany. NFDI4Culture aims to fill this gap and create a user-centered, research-driven infrastructure that will cover a broad range of research domains from musicology, art history and architecture to performance, theatre, film, and media studies. The research landscape addressed by the consortium is characterized by strong institutional differentiation. Research units in the consortium's community of interest comprise university institutes, art colleges, academies, galleries, libraries, archives and museums. This diverse landscape is also characterized by an abundance of research objects, methodologies and a great potential for data-driven research. In a unique effort carried out by the applicant and co-applicants of this proposal and ten academic societies, this community is interconnected for the first time through a federated approach that is ideally suited to the needs of the participating researchers. To promote collaboration within the NFDI, to share knowledge and technology and to provide extensive support for its users have been the guiding principles of the consortium from the beginning and will be at the heart of all workflows and decision-making processes. Thanks to these principles, NFDI4Culture has gathered strong support ranging from individual researchers to high-level cultural heritage organizations such as the UNESCO, the International Council of Museums, the Open Knowledge Foundation and Wikimedia. On this basis, NFDI4Culture will take innovative measures that promote a cultural change towards a more reflective and sustainable handling of research data and at the same time boost qualification and professionalization in data-driven research in the domain of cultural heritage. This will create a long-lasting impact on science, cultural economy and society as a whole.

BackgroundA challenge to pre-hospital emergency care is any barrier or obstacle that impedes quality pre-hospital care or impacts community pre-hospital utilization. The Addis Ababa Fire and Disaster Risk Management Commission (AAFDRMC) provides pre-hospital emergency services in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. These services operate under a government-funded organization that delivers free emergency services, including out-of-hospital medical care and transportation to the most appropriate health facility. This study aimed to assess the challenges of pre-hospital emergency care at the Addis Ababa Fire and Disaster Risk Management Commission in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.MethodsA qualitative descriptive study was conducted from November 20 to December 4, 2022. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 21 experienced individuals in the field of pre-hospital emergency care, who were selected using purposeful sampling. A thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data.ResultsThis study includes twenty-one participants working at the Addis Ababa Fire and Disaster Risk Management Commission. Three major themes emerged. The themes that arose were the participants’ perspectives on the challenges of pre-hospital emergency care in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Conclusion and recommendationThe Fire and Disaster Risk Management Commission faces numerous challenges in providing quality pre-hospital emergency care in Addis Ababa. Respondents stated that infrastructure, communication, and resources were the main causes of pre-hospital emergency care challenges. There has to be more focus on emergency management in light of infrastructure reform, planning, staff training, and education, recruiting additional professional power, improving communication, and making pre-hospital emergency care an independent organization in the city.

Methodologies, processes and tools have long been established to effectively manage financial, and to some extent human, capital. When it comes to the measurement and management of intellectual capital and social capital, the expertise of organizations greatly diminish. This is most likely due to the lack of ability to accurately characterize and measure these intangible assets. The tangible assets such as financial and human capital are fundamentally different than the intangible assets categorized as social and intellectual capital. Intangible and tangible assets are not completely independent. Intangible assets coexist within the same organizational environment as tangible assets and are impacted by management decisions either purposefully or unknowingly. Thus they should be co-managed by the development of an understanding of their relationships. This involves the act of comparing and contrasting the effects of changes in inputs and processes on the outcomes relative to tangible and intangible assets. This paper addresses the key questions associated with the relationship of intangible assets to tangible resources and tangible outcomes.

PurposeCompanies are currently facing the challenge of understanding how their business is affected by the large volume of opinions continually generated by their stakeholders in social media regarding their intangible assets (experiences, emotions and attitudes). With this in mind, the purpose of this paper is to present an innovative management model, named E2AB, to measure and analyse reputational intangibles from digital ecosystems and their impacts on tangible assets.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology applied was big data and business intelligence techniques. These methods were used in the computing process to obtain daily data from every asset guarantees that the model is validated with robust data. This model has been corroborated using data from the banking sector, specifically 402,383 net data inputs from the digital ecosystems.FindingsThis study illustrates the existence of a holistic influence of intangible assets over tangible assets. The findings demonstrate complex relationships between tangible and intangible assets, determined not only by the type of variable but also by its valence and intensity.Practical implicationsThese findings may help chief communication officers and general managers a better understanding of how intangible assets extracted from online users’ opinions are related to their organisation’s tangible assets plus a chance to find out about their impact and how to manage them for a practical and agile decision making in real time.Originality/valueIt is a pioneering work in establishing a model, which demonstrates transversal and holistic relationships between relational intangible and tangible assets of firms from digital ecosystems, using business intelligence techniques.

Investment dynamics in Europe: Distinct drivers and barriers for investing in intangible versus tangible assets?

Studies have investigated the effect of firm resources on the management of firms, with very little being done on the attractiveness of Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibition (MICE) destinations. This study aims to examine how firm resources influence competitiveness of MICE destinations in Kenya. Tangible and intangible assets are the two main categorization of firm resources used for this study, with tangible assets being characterized by brand reputation, innovation and facilities and equipment, while tangible assets being characterized by technology, location and access to financial resources characterized intangible and tangible resources respectively Resource-Based View theory was adopted as the theoretical foundation of the study, as it analyses MICE destination as a bundle or resources which creates value that can never be imitated by competitors. The study applied explanatory research design anchored on positivist philosophical paradigm and the target population was 496 MICE establishments in Nairobi and South-Rift circuits. Purposive sampling technique was used to obtain a sample of 107 MICE establishments. Data collection was through closed-ended questionnaires, with marketing/or operations managers. Data was analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Study hypotheses were tested using F-statistic and t-statistics. Findings showed that tangible assets had no significant effect on competitiveness while intangible assets had a significant direct effect on competitiveness. Intangible assets were significant in determining competitive advantage of MICE establishment implying that they need to capitalize more on intangible assets as opposed to tangible assets. The study also confirms the falsifiability of RBV theory as regards tangible assets and therefore recommends exploring other theories to understand how tangible assets affect competitive advantage.
