3228439	无图 Bandung (ANTARA) - The magnitude 8.7 earthquake that struck Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday serves as a stark warning to countries along the Pacific Ring of Fire, including Indonesia, according to an expert.</p><p>“The large earthquake, which also triggered a tsunami, should not be seen as merely a local disaster,” an earthquake expert from the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Professor Irwan Meilano, said here on Thursday.</p><p>As ITB’s Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs, Meilano emphasized that the incident should be treated as a serious cautionary signal for all nations in the region.</p><p>“This earthquake occurred in a seismic gap zone—an area with a history of major quakes but one that had been inactive for a long time. It was a time bomb that finally exploded,” Meilano explained.</p><p>He noted that Kamchatka shares tectonic characteristics with Indonesia’s western Sumatra and southern Java regions, both of which have not experienced major earthquakes in over 50 years.</p><p>Given these geological similarities, Indonesia faces comparable risks that demand proactive preparation, he added.</p><p>According to Meilano, the most alarming threat from such events is the potential for tsunamis.</p><p>Waves up to 60 cm were recorded off Japan’s northern coast following the Kamchatka quake.</p><p>“This shows that the wave energy traveled a great distance, reaching eastern Indonesia within 8 to 10 hours of the earthquake,” he said.</p><p>While Kamchatka is sparsely populated, the incident underscores the critical importance of mitigation efforts and early warning systems. Japan once again demonstrated strong preparedness, particularly through its pressure- and tidal-based tsunami detection system.</p><p>“Japan doesn"t rely solely on simulation models. Their system includes real-time observational tools, which enable them to issue accurate and timely warnings,” Meilano explained.</p><p>He urged Indonesia to treat the Kamchatka quake as a wake-up call to accelerate the development and modernization of its own early warning systems.</p><p>As a country situated along an active megathrust fault line, Indonesia must focus on readiness grounded in science and technology, not just post-disaster responses. The looming threat of a megathrust earthquake remains real, especially in southern Java and western Sumatra.</p><p>“The Kamchatka event proves that preparedness is not optional—it’s essential,” Meilano stressed.</p><p>“Don’t wait for a disaster to act. Indonesia must emulate Japan’s consistency, perseverance, and long-term commitment to mitigation,” he concluded.</p><p>Related news: Indonesia confirms no citizens affected by massive Rusia earthquake</p><p>Related news: BMKG lifts tsunami alert after Russia"s Kamchatka earthquake</p><p>Translator: Ricky Prayoga, Aditya Eko Sigit Wicaksono</p><p>Editor: M Razi Rahman</p><p> Copyright © ANTARA 2025</p> Kamchatka earthquake a wake-up call for Indonesia, expert warns - ANTARA News	查看 2924	安塔拉通讯社	2025-07-31 19:02:02 2025-08-03 04:11:43	word

3228429	无图 Cirebon (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning has fast-tracked land certification for places of worship and educational institutions, including Islamic boarding schools, with the aim of completing the process within the next three years.</p><p>Minister Nusron Wahid, speaking in Cirebon, West Java, on Saturday, said that the certification covers both waqf (Islamic endowment) and non-waqf land used for religious purposes.</p><p>“Over the next three years, we aim to finalize land certification for all places of worship and educational institutions, whether the land is waqf or not,” Wahid informed.</p><p>Although educational institutions such as Islamic boarding schools and schools established under legal foundations are not typically allowed land ownership, Wahid noted that exceptions can be made for certain types of educational institutions.</p><p>He emphasized the urgent need for land certification to prevent potential conflicts and legal disputes, particularly in cases where land use changes or when a foundation management transitions. So far, only 38 percent of the targeted 700 thousand land plots have been certified.</p><p>Wahid informed that the main issue in waqf land certification is the slow issuance of the Waqf Pledge Deed (<i>Akta Ikrar Wakaf</i>), which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.</p><p>“For waqf land, the delay usually lies in the AIW process. That’s under the Religious Affairs Ministry. We hope the process can be accelerated from their side,” he said.</p><p>He then reaffirmed the government’s commitment to promoting cross-ministerial collaboration to ensure smoother certification for both waqf and non-waqf land used for religious and educational purposes.</p><p>Through this accelerated effort, the government aims to ensure the long-term social function of community land, while providing legal protection for its ownership and use.</p><p>“Therefore, we must prevent this from turning into a dispute in the future,” Wahid added. </p><p>Related news: Successful development requires proper land management: Minister</p><p>Related news: Digital certificates as Indonesia"s weapon against land mafia</p><p>Related news: Land certificates provide peace of mind from misuse: Minister</p><p>Translator: Fathnur Rohman, Kuntum Khaira Riswan</p><p>Editor: Azis Kurmala</p><p> Copyright © ANTARA 2025</p> Govt expedites land certification for educational institutions - ANTARA News	查看 2401	安塔拉通讯社	2025-08-02 21:03:59 2025-08-03 04:11:43	word
