Pengawas & Researcher
Dr. Sitarani Safitri
Dr. Sitarani Safitri completed her bachelor’s degree in 2010, masters and doctoral degrees in 2014 and 2021, respectively, at the department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering, Bandung Institute of Technology. Most of her works are focussed on understanding the sustainable land use and the utilization of geospatial information science to incorporate spatial data into a wide range of environmental and engineering problems. She is currently conducting research on the location-allocation model of land cover/land use based on the environmental carrying capacity for sustainable development in Indonesia. During the last six years (2014 – now), she has been quite active as an author in several national and international conferences and scientific journal articles related to environmental GIS. She received Voucher (ITB) and Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP) scholarships to complete her masters and doctoral degrees. Safitri already has twelve years of experience in various studies and works with government and private institutions. Moreover, she already has twelve years of experience as a GIS instructor in national and international training/workshops.
Pengurus Harian & Researchers
Jesika Taradini, M.T.
Chief
Jesika Taradini is a research assistant at Pusat Infrastruktur Data Spasial, Institut Teknologi Bandung (PIDS ITB). She has interests in Geo-informatics Sciences, especially on spatial modelling for environmental management and spatial data management. Since 2016, she has been doing some researches about environmental carrying capacity (ECC) for land use/land cover model, geospatial model of population projection, multi-scale geospatial model of population distribution using multi-scale grid system, and geospatial data quality model for Indonesian base map. She also interested and experienced in programming and developing tools for problem-solving, i.e. develop Indonesian multi-scale grid system (5”x5” spatial resolution) using Python to support KLHK, develop a spatial allocation model of land use/land cover using a machine-learning algorithm using Matlab, develop some Web-GIS using some programming languages, develop Ecological Footprint Calculator to support sustainable regional planning, and now she is doing a personal ‘experiment’ in develop a tool to automate population distribution model using R and Python. Most of those models and tools are implemented on Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and other environmental regional studies and/or planning (e.g. RPPLH, ECC-study, Background Study of Forest Ecology) in some regions in Indonesia. Last year, she became a member of a team in writing Practical Guidelines of SEA, in collaboration with West Java Province (DLH). She also experienced as a trainer in some training and/or workshop about GIS and ECC. At this time, she is struggling to apply PhD Vacancy on Geo-informatics or Geo-environment topic.
Dyah Ayu Retnowati, M.T.
Secretary
Dyah Ayu Retnowati menyelesaikan program sarjana dan magister di ITB dengan topik penelitian berupa analisis risiko bencana. Secara lebih spesifik, Dyah lebih berfokus pada analisis risiko terkait kerugian ekonomi langsung akibat kerusakan bangunan yang terdampak oleh bencana gempabumi dan letusan gunung api. Selama masa studi, Dyah pernah terlibat sebagai tim penilaian risiko bencana gempabumi dalam pembuatan Rencana Induk Pengurangan Risiko Bencana (RIPB). Selain itu, Dyah juga pernah terlibat pada pekerjaan antara Graduate Research on Earthquake and Active Tectonics (GREAT) dengan PT Reasuransi MAIPARK dalam melakukan estimasi kerusakan dan kerugian dari beberapa jenis bangunan yang termasuk sebagai Barang Milik Daerah (BMD) akibat bencana alam di Indonesia. Pada tahun 2018, Dyah berkesempatan mengikuti Japan-Asian Youth Exchange Program in Science di Kagawa University dengan kegiatan berupa perkuliahan singkat terkait manajemen dan teknologi Jepang untuk menghadapi dan melakukan mitigasi bencana. Pada kurun waktu satu tahun terakhir, Dyah banyak terlibat pekerjaan di Pusat Infrastruktur Data Spasial (PIDS) ITB pada bidang lingkungan hidup dan informasi geospasial.
Dini Aprilia Norvyani, M.Sc.
Treasurer
Studi dan pekerjaan yang dilakukan Dini Aprilia Norvyani selama ini berhubungan erat dengan isu lingkungan dan perkotaan, termasuk daya dukung daya tampung lingkungan hidup, jasa lingkungan, dan dampak krisis iklim. Dini terlibat pada penyusunan Kajian Lingkungan Hidup Strategis (KLHS) berbagai daerah, terutama dalam menilai status daya dukung di setiap daerah secara spasial dan mengidentifikasi isu-isu prioritas pemerintah daerah terkait SDGs. Selain itu, Dini juga aktif sebagai kolaborator di berbagai hibah penelitian, antara lain mengenai evaluasi pembangunan infrastruktur di kampung perkotaan menggunakan etnografi dan SIG (National Geographic Explorer, 2019); dan menilai keberlanjutan pengelolaan lahan gambut masyarakat menggunakan pemetaan partisipatif dan etnografi (EU Sustainable Use of Peatland and Haze Mitigation in ASEAN (SUPA), 2022).
Berdomisili di Kota Pontianak, Dini saat ini bergabung sebagai tenaga ahli di Pusat Studi dan Pengembangan Informasi Geospasial (PSPIG) Universitas Tanjungpura.
