MEETING FACILITIES MANAGEMENT TASKS 7 Material: Basic Concepts of Infrastructure Management EXERCISE: 1. What is the meaning of arrangement of facilities and infrastructure? 2. What tools need to be arranged? 3. How to organize facilities and infrastructure? 4. What items require daily maintenance? 5. What is the layout of the school room according to standards? ANSWER: 1. Arrangement itself means a process or activity of preparing something so that it looks neat and can be used effectively and efficiently. Educational facilities and infrastructure itself means all the furniture or tools used either directly or indirectly to support the learning process. So from this understanding we can draw the conclusion that the arrangement of educational facilities and infrastructure is an activity or process of arranging all items included in the category of facilities and infrastructure in the form of rooms, buildings and furniture that are adapted to the size of the school or room so that they can be used optimally. effective and efficient. 2. Based on the definition of arranging facilities and infrastructure above, the tools that need to be arranged are all goods or buildings that are included in the infrastructure. Such as arranging office space, arranging library space, arranging schools accompanied by arranging the furniture and equipment needed by the building or room. For example, in an office layout, you will definitely need to arrange furniture items such as tables, chairs, paintings, bookcases, name plates and so on. 3. There are several things that need to be considered in the placement and arrangement of facilities and infrastructure, namely, • Reachable • Far from crowds (markets, factories) • Away from dangerous places. The arrangement of facilities and infrastructure itself can be divided into 3, namely: arrangement of movable goods, arrangement of immovable goods, arrangement of consumable movable goods and arrangement of non-consumable movable goods. The movable goods in question are goods that can be moved from their previous placement, such as tables, chairs, benches and similar items. Next is the arrangement of immovable assets, which means items that cannot be moved such as land, yards, buildings and similar items. In the arrangement, it is necessary to pay attention to the strategic and easily accessible location of the building, a safe and conducive environment, far from natural disasters, desired by the community and far from crowds. Consumable movable goods are goods that do not last long, depreciate quickly and run out after use. For example, paper, carbon, chalk, markers and other similar things. These items should be stored in a room or place that can prevent them from being damaged. Finally, there is the arrangement of non-consumable movable goods. The arrangement is by arranging the existing goods by assigning numbers and codes to the goods according to the applicable codes. 4. Daily maintenance is usually carried out every day (every time before or after use). Carried out by employees who use the item and are responsible for the item, for example car drivers holding ICT machines, stencil machines and so on, must maintain cleanliness and repair minor damage. 5. There are several techniques and instructions on how to arrange facilities and infrastructure, including the arrangement of school rooms and buildings. The following is how the technical layout of school buildings is arranged. The relationship between the spaces needed and their location in the applicable curriculum and of course this will have an influence on the preparation of the lesson schedule. These things need to be considered, among others: a) The learning activity room is placed in the brightest part, but without glare and far from distractions or sources of noise or commotion. b) The skills/practice room which can be a source of noise is placed far from the study room. c) The laboratory room is placed separately but is easily and quickly accessible.
