Evaluation Road Planning and Assembly Point Determination for Disaster Response at Trunojoyo Class III Airport

Abstract

An airport is a designated area, either on land or water, equipped with buildings, installations, and equipment used fully or partially for the arrival and departure of aircraft. Trunojoyo Airport, located in Sumenep, Madura Island, began development in the 1970s during the leadership of Regent Soemar'oem. Initially established as a basic airstrip (Lapter), it became the first operational airport on Madura Island and has been serving pioneering flights since 2010. Currently, Trunojoyo Airport is classified as a Class III airport, with infrastructure that includes a 1,600-meter by 30-meter runway, two aprons (Apron A: 40 x 40 meters, Apron B: 160 x 70 meters), a terminal building of 3,600 m², and an operational building covering 480 m². Despite these developments, the airport terminal currently lacks essential safety features such as evacuation route signage and designated assembly points in case of emergencies or disasters. This condition poses potential risks to passenger and staff safety. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate and propose alternative evacuation routes and appropriate assembly points. In addition, it seeks to recommend the implementation of proper safety signage to enhance the airport’s preparedness and ensure compliance with safety standards. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving the emergency response
