The Precarity of Peri-urban Resistance: A Resistance to the Forced Eviction of Pasar VI Village and the Development of Kualanamu International Airport, North Sumatera

In 1997, Kualanamu was chosen as the site of a new airport in North Sumatra. The central government's unilateral decision created new agrarian conflict and complicated the agrarian issues that had plagued the region since the colonial era. The accumulated conflicts and structural issues left local residents in a precarious state as they became integrated into peri-urban society. This article highlights the complexity of the conflict, the agency–institutional–structural relations that underpin it, and peri-urban resistance within the context of urbanisation and its marginalisation of rural communities.

What is the impact of additional runway to obstacle limitation surface area?

It is obvious that the additional runways (one or two more runways) from the existing runway at a specific airport may increase the overall obstacle limitation surface areas within the airport. In fact, based on a case study at Kualanamu International Airport, Indonesia, it was revealed that an increase the number of the runway from 1 runway to become 2 runways were not necessary to increase the overall obstacle limitation surface areas. It was identified that the vertical height of the existing obstacle limitation surface decreased at the range of 1.961% to 8.163%, however, the horizontal one increased at 8,57 %.
