Saturday, October 30, 2021, a training (workshop) was conducted for a number of education staff (tendik) of the Department of Architecture and Planning, FT UGM. This training was held in a mixed manner, both online using a zoom platform and offline, located at the TGA DTAP studio, Faculty of Engineering, UGM while still obedient to health protocols. This training focuses on topics related to Cloud Computing-based Data Management.

This training activity was attended by representatives from the Department of Architectural Engineering and Planning, including Mrs. Syam Rachma M, S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D., (Secretary of the Department) and Mrs. Nur Zahrotunnisaa Zagi, S.T., M.T. (Head of Quality Assurance Unit, Human Resources and Assets) was then attended by Mrs. Rina Yosefiana, S.Sos (Coordinator for Financial Affairs, Assets, General Affairs and SHE) and Mr. Faesal S.Psi. (Coordinator for Education and Student Affairs). The instructor for this training event were Mr. I Wayan Ordiyasa, S.Kom., M.T. along with his team from the Informatics study program from the University of Respati Yogyakarta.

This training is divided into several sessions. Starting from the briefing of material by Mr. I Wayan then continued by the practice by each participant present guided by his teammates. This cloud computing training uses the giant Google platform services in particular. Some of the scheduled trainings are starting from the operation of Google Email services including Email Blast as an email service (electronic mail), Google Drive (cloud storage) which is synchronized with Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides as an editor for text documents, images, presentations, spreadsheets online collaboration.

Mrs. Syam Rachma (Secretary of the Department) said this training was important because the tendency to use cloud computing was very high for online work activities. He added that current educational developments also demand the application of online IT computing (cloud) so that academic staff as supporting students are challenged to be able to follow and adapt. This is also reinforced by the statement of the Head of the Quality Assurance, HR and Assets unit of DTAP that this cloud computing training is important considering that cloud-based jobs will also make it easier and are expected to improve the performance of the staff.

Technology is growing rapidly and has an impact on academic services not only now but also in the future. Realizing this, DTAP always strives for the human resources involved to be able to adapt and keep up with existing developments. This is inseparable from the benefits and high flexibility offered for a better and conducive working environment. Thank you.

Before strenuous exercise, of course the body needs to warm up first. Likewise, to start the new semester, warming up is needed for the DTAP academic community to be more enthusiastic about following the lecture agenda in the new academic year, Odd 2021/2022. As usual, the Department of Architectural Engineering and Planning held a Public Lecture which presented a number of speakers before starting the lectures in depth at the beginning of each semester. This inaugural lecture activity applies to all Architecture and Urban Area Planning (PWK) study programs at any level. Each study program presents speakers who are qualified in their fields. The implementation of the 2021/2022 odd semester general lecture will take place online.

On Saturday, August 14, 2021, the Urban Design Study Program held a Public Lecture with the title “Challenges of Urban Projects sharing with next generation” delivered by Sibarani Sofian, MUDD, B.Sc, LEED AP who is the founder and director of the URBAN+ Design Studio.

On Monday, August 16, 2021, the Architecture and PPAr study program presented resource person Ary Indra, one of the founders and principal architects of the Aboday Architecture Bureau. On this occasion, Ary Indra shared many things based on his experiences ranging from how good architecture is to showing some case studies from his work which are certainly very inspiring.

On the same day, the Urban Regional Planning study program presented the figure of Ir. Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia. On the occasion of this inaugural lecture, the PWK study program brought the title “Connectivity, Equality, and Welfare”.

It is hoped that, with this inaugural lecture, the DTAP academic community in particular, can be more inspired and motivated to start lectures in the future and can open scientific horizons and introduce the potential and challenges of the profession and science in the future.

Keep the spirit, stay healthy, and see you next time.

Thank you.

Welcome to the DTAP academic community, Faculty of Engineering, UGM. It doesn’t feel like a year and a half has passed since the start of the pandemic. During that time, our daily face-to-face activities were blocked and turned into Work From Home (WFH). However, the spirit of carrying out daily activities certainly does not fade away for the sake of the beloved state university.

Time goes on and it doesn’t feel like a new semester is waiting for the school year. As an initial step to start a new semester, it feels incomplete if you have not carried out a routine agenda, namely Infoday DTAP. This activity introduces new students to know more about the Department of Architecture and Planning, Faculty of Engineering, UGM. However, since the pandemic has not improved, Infoday DTAP was held via online webinar .This activity involves several parties such as department administrators, study program administrators, KM and HM organizer, including new students themselves.

Hopefully with the implementation of this Infoday, it will be able to introduce new students to the dynamics of DTAP lectures even though the value is certainly far from offline lectures. Keep the spirit and take care of your health, see you next time. Thank you.

Inauguration ceremony of Prof. Dr Ir. Budi Prayitno, M.Eng., As Professor of the Faculty of Engineering, was held at the Senate Hall, Universitas Gadjah Mada. In connection with the COVID-19, the event was only attended by the Board of Professors and several representatives of the academicians by following the applicable health protocol. Meanwhile, other guests were asked to attend and watch online on the Universitas Gadjah Mada Youtube channel.

The event, which was held on July 23, 2020, began with singing the song Indonesia Raya and Hymne Gadjah Mada which was then followed by the opening of the Open Meeting of Board of Professors by the Chairman. Furthermore, Prof. Dr Ir. Budi Prayitno, M.Eng had the opportunity to deliver his Professor’s inauguration speech entitled “A New Paradigm of Housing and Urban Development”. He said that housing is one of the basic needs to create prosperity, apart from clothing, food, education and health. However, understanding the meaning of the board is often seen as the physical fulfilment of the house so that the performance target is difficult to achieve. Therefore, we need a new development paradigm that positions houses as part of an urban issue where land is a determinant of the effectiveness of housing provision. The concept of share land value capture can support the government’s balanced land policy which uses a 1: 2: 3 composition, which means that developers building one luxury house are required to build two middle-class units, and three simple class units can be supported by the concept.

After delivering the speech, the event was closed with the handover of Samir to Prof. Dr Ir. Budi Prayitno, M.Eng by the Chairman of the Board of Professors who is accompanied by the Secretary of the Board of Professors. Prof. Dr Ir. Budi Prayitno, M.Eng is registered as the 57th Professor of the Faculty of Engineering from 58 professors, both active and non-active as well as the 557th professor from 563 professors registered in the HRIS (Human Resources Information System) as of 23 July 2020.
