BIODETERIORASI KOMPONEN KAYU RUMAH DI BEBERAPA DAERAH YANG BERBEDA SUHU DAN KELEMBABANNYA
ABSTRACT: Biodeterioration
should be controlled properly for efficient and sustainable forest products
(woods) utilization. This research aimed to know the distribution of wood
biodeterioration in house structure; the biodeterioration intensity and its
economic loss in Lembang, Bogor, Serang and North Jakarta, which were different
in temperature and humidity. The survey
was conducted to 200 houses in the four places.
The result showed that wood biodeterioration occured in most (90%) house
buildings. Doors, windows and roof
structures were the most frequent attacked by biodeterioration agents. Decay
fungi attacked wet wooden house components, mainly lisplank and ceiling,
whereas termites attacked mainly doors, windows, poles and walls. The volume of
damaged wooden house components in Lembang and Bogor were higher than those in
the warmer and drier regions, Serang and North Jakarta. The average economic
loss due to wood biodeterioration in a houses was about Rp28 000/year. However the economic loss per region was
quite high, about two billion rupiahs per year in Serang and more than eight
billion rupiahs in Bogor City.
