Week 7 : Study Research

This study research occurred at Indonesia, that I knew form the online news from Indonesia site. Which contain. The sidewalk along the protocol roads in Kudus, Central Java, that is being installed with ceramic become an issue for the residents because it sidewalk become slippery especially when rain. So it will harm the pedestrians.

The ceramics may look beautiful, but actually it cause a lot of issue that make the pedestrians slip over it. There are many case, for example, on March 3rd 2013, there were a resident that slipped while across the sidewalk infront of Hasan Putra Book Store, exactly near the square died because of slipped.

The other case that happen on the same place, another resident slip and fall while across the sidewalk. Because of that incident the joints of the hipbones detached.

The solution from that problem, an action must be done as soon as possible so the similar and so on incident will be not happening to the other pedestrian. The action such as do the repairment on the ceramics so it will be more rough, not slippery. And in the next developtment, it will be using the material that have rough texture on it so it will be not slippery especially when rainy season.
