The implementation of the Village Fund policy made a very significant change, the villages which had previously received a very limited budget were managed centrally by government agencies on top of which villages now get a substantial budget and are given the authority to manage independently. Village Funds for physical development realized in 2015, 2016 and 2017 that are felt transparently, do not meet the quality of infrastructure in supporting facilities and infrastructure. This study aims to evaluate the successful implementation of village road infrastructure related to village funding. The location of this research is Gondang Village, Kertanegara Village and Karanggambas Village, Purbalingga Regency. The data analysis technique used is data analysis with quantitative and qualitative methods with steps of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of this study show that (1) Village planning in the research location is not fully in accordance with Permendagri Number 114 of 2014, (2) the highest level of road damage in Karanggambas Village (16.94%), the biggest 2016 and 2017 road damage in the village Gondang (10.73% and 17.77%) (3) commitment and quality of human resources affect the successful implementation of infrastructure planning and development, (4) Implementation of Village Funds in terms of benefits has been felt by the community in meeting basic infrastructure needs, but not fully implemented. said to be successful, (5) the level of maintenance of damage to village road infrastructure is still low.

This paper was presented at the 3rd SCESCM International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering Structures and Construction Materials, September 5th-7th 2016, Bali, Indonesia: http://conference.tsipil.ugm.ac.id/scescm/ ; Since the publication of the Conseil International du Bâtiment or CIB's Agenda 21, local government has become an agent of change to achieve sustainability in development policy-making, including implementation of building standards. The Indonesian Earthquake-Resistant Building Standard was recently revised after considering sustainability and earthquake damage reduction methods by drawing on lessons learnt from past earthquakes. However, the willingness of building practitioners and local authorities to deal with those changes, particularly on the budget implications of project execution and appropriate procurement mechanisms, has raised a number of issues. Several of these stem from the lack of awareness and consistency in educating practitioners and officials. As a consequence, the implementation of the new standard has been slow and problematic. This paper presents a case study the impact of implementing and retrofitting a new earthquake resistance standard in a public hospital building in the middle of project execution. The research undertook structural simulation and field observation on an eight-storey public hospital building in Indonesia. The research found that the capabilities of contractors and awareness of local authorities of dynamical changes of policy implementation affected the project success. The analysis suggests that empirical guidance by the local authority is required for practical adjustments in governing retrofitting procedures in public building management.

Flood is a disaster that has the biggest threat, in terms of the number of victims or losses. Semarang City is a city that is classified as a flood prone area, this is due to the geographical location in the lowlands and highlands. The impact of the flood disaster caused damage and losses from various sectors of public infrastructure including the education service sector and health services. Damage and loss of public infrastructure will burden the government in the post-flood recovery phase. An assessment of infrastructure damage and losses from flooding is needed in order to help the Semarang City Government prepare a budget plan and manage rehabilitation and reconstruction. The purpose of this research is to explore the loss of public infrastructure due to the impact of the flood disaster, so that it can accelerate the post-disaster recovery process and management strategies for the risk of further flood disasters. The valuation method used is ECLAC (Economic Commission for Latin American and the Caribbean) Method. This method can identify damage and estimate the losses caused by floods. The results of this study are that each public infrastructure building has a different level of damage and loss and the budget allocation for disaster management each year is still inadequate. A risk transfer strategy is needed with an insurance financing scheme based on the level of risk in each infrastructure building.

Integrating Blue–Green Infrastructure (BGI) concepts into the development of the urban landscape has the potential to increase flood resilience and offer broader environmental benefits. BGI is an innovative approach that combines water management and green infrastructure to maintain natural water cycles and enhance environmental and urban renewal. This paper identifies socio-economic, cultural and political challenges influencing BGI adoption in Semarang city in Indonesia. Data was collected from residents of three communities through interviews (n=30), questionnaires (n=180) and focus groups with policymakers and community representatives. The combined quantitative and qualitative data provide an understanding of the specific socio-economic, cultural and political issues at play and reveal flood experience as well as perceptions of community members regarding flood management. Challenges are presented from the point of view of residents and local policymakers and are based on a framework for facilitating local BGI adoption, setting the principles of "inclusive", "appropriate" and "proactive" as pre-conditions for enhancing community resilience to flooding.
