ABSTRACT Indonesia is a disaster-prone areas. To meet the logistical  needs of the victim  and the officer needed a common kitchen. Common kitchen that is generally in the form of tents, buildings used as shelters, or modified car. Common kitchen there is an emergency nature,  improvise, and how far from the disaster site. These problems need to design a common kitchen for natural disaster management,  which can meet the needs, the officer and the victim. In designing  methods Pahl and Beitz with steps Planning and explanation  of the task,  design concept,  design forms, and design details. Collecting  data using methods Individual  Questionnaire  and Focus Group Dis- cussion the results obtained attributes  required in the design. Results of the research is a com- mon kitchen design for a natural disaster  are portable, easily assembled and disassembled, can be set  up in various  locations  condition,  easy to operate, able to accommodate facilities  and needs. Common  kitchen  design  produced in the form  of large-scale  three-dimensional   model, a blueprint  for the technical  specifications,  and the protoype. Keywords: natural disasters;  design; soup kitchen;  portable.   ABSTRAK Indonesia merupakan daerah rawan bencana. Memenuhi kebutuhan logistik korban dan petugas diperlukan dapur umum. Dapur umum yang ada umumnya berupa tenda peleton, bangunan yang dijadikan posko, atau mobil yang dimodifikasi. Dapur umum yang ada sifatnya darurat, seadanya dan lokasinya jauh dari lokasi bencana. Dari masalah tersebut perlu desain dapur umum untuk penanggulangan bencana alam, yang bisa memenuhi kebutuhan, baik petugas maupun korban. Dalam mendesain menggunakan metode Pahl dan Beitz dengan langkah-langkah Perencanaan dan penjelasan tugas, Perancangan konsep, Perancangan bentuk, dan Perancangan detail. Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode Individual Questionnaire dan Focus Group Discussion yang hasilnya didapatkan atribut yang diperlukan dalam desain. Hasil dari penelitian berupa desain dapur umum untuk penanggulangan bencana alam yang portable, mudah dirakit dan dibongkar, dan dapat didirikan di lokasi yang beraneka kondisi, mudah dioperasikan, mampu menampung fasilitas dan kebutuhan. Desain dapur umum yang dihasilkan dalam bentuk model tiga dimensi berskala, blue print spesifikasi teknis, dan protoype. Kata kunci: bencana alam, desain, dapur umum, portable.

Natural Disaster Management

Natural disasters, including earthquakes, Tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions, have caused tremendous harm and continue to threaten millions of humans and various infrastructure capabilities each year. In their efforts to take countermeasures against the threats posed by future natural disasters, the United Nations formulated the “Hyogo Framework for Action”, which aims at assessing and reducing risk. This framework and a global review of disaster reduction initiatives of the United Nations acknowledge the need for information systems research contributions in addressing major challenges of natural disaster management. In this paper, the authors provide a review of the literature with regard to how information systems research has addressed risk assessment and reduction in natural disaster management. Based on the review the authors identify research gaps that are centered around the need for acquiring general knowledge on how to design IS artifacts for risk assessment and reduction. In order to close these gaps in further research, the authors develop a research agenda that follows the IS design science paradigm.
