        "summary": "Indonesia's National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) is preparing to commercialise its earthquake-resistant modular housing technology to enable wider production and use in disaster-prone areas. The agency is coordinating with partners to mass-produce the homes at lower cost, following successful trials of three prototype houses that remained intact during earthquakes. President Prabowo Subianto has emphasised the importance of such technological innovation for anticipating and mitigating disaster risks in Indonesia.",
        "content": "<p>The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) is preparing to\ncommercialise earthquake-resistant modular housing technology so that it\ncan be produced in greater numbers and used by the public, particularly\nin disaster-prone areas.<\/p>\n<p>BRIN Head Arif Satria said the agency is currently coordinating with\na number of partners to bring the earthquake-resistant modular housing\ntechnology to the production stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are continuing to coordinate with partners because BRIN is not\nallowed to mass-produce. We must find partners to produce these houses\nin larger quantities and at even lower cost,\u201d Arif said at the\nPresidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Arif said the earthquake-resistant modular housing technology had\npreviously been realised in three prototype homes built by BRIN between\n2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the three prototype homes remained intact when an\nearthquake occurred. This has become one of the bases for promoting\nwider use of the technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEarthquake-resistant modular homes, where there are currently three\nBRIN prototype homes standing since 2021 to 2022 which, thank God,\nremained intact during the earthquake,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The effort is expected to enable earthquake-resistant homes to be\nproduced in greater quantities while also being more affordable.<\/p>\n<p>Arif said the development of earthquake-resistant homes is important\nbecause Indonesia lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire, which has many\npoints of vulnerability to disasters.<\/p>\n<p>President Prabowo Subianto, Arif said, has also stressed the\nimportance of research and technological innovation to anticipate and\nprovide solutions to various potential disasters in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis requires study, requires technological innovations to overcome,\nanticipate, and continue to provide solutions,\u201d Arif said.<\/p>\n<p>In a meeting with Timor-Leste President Jose Ramos-Horta and a number\nof Nobel laureates, the President also specifically mentioned BRIN\ninnovations that can be applied in the field, including\nearthquake-resistant modular housing technology to help earthquake-prone\nareas.<\/p>",
