Focus and Scope of Musamus Journal of Civil Engineering

Focus: Musamus Journal of Civil Engineering focuses on the development and application of technology and knowledge in civil engineering, particularly addressing the unique challenges and potential of remote and border regions. The journal prioritises research related to infrastructure, transportation, water resource management, geotechnics, and sustainable building technologies, especially in areas facing diverse geographical and climatic conditions. We encourage publications that support the development of resilient, adaptive, and responsive infrastructure tailored to the geographical, climatic, and local community needs.

Scope: The scope of Musamus Journal of Civil Engineering includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

1. Transportation Infrastructure: Development of efficient and sustainable land, sea, and air transportation systems in remote and border regions.
2. Water Resource Management: Studies on the management of water resources, including flood control techniques, irrigation, and the provision of clean water adapted to local geographical and climatic conditions.
3. Construction Technology and Materials: Research on the use of local construction materials, earthquake-resistant building technologies, and construction techniques that are adaptive to the environmental conditions of tropical and disaster-prone regions.
4. Urban and Regional Planning: Analysis of spatial planning and infrastructure development that considers the sustainability of ecosystems, socio-cultural aspects, and the local economy.
5. Coastal and Marine Engineering: Studies related to coastal management, coastal protection, and climate change mitigation in coastal areas.
6. Environmental Management and Green Construction: Research focused on green construction practices, carbon footprint reduction, and environmental management aligned with sustainability principles.
7. Geotechnics: Research and studies in geotechnics, including slope stability analysis, foundation design, and soil and rock management in areas with challenging geological conditions. This also covers methods for landslide risk mitigation, soil compaction, and the design and management of underground structures.
8. Information Technology in Civil Engineering: The use of information technology, such as GIS and BIM, in the planning, design, and management of civil engineering projects relevant to challenging geographical conditions.

Musamus Journal of Civil Engineering is committed to serving as a platform for academics, researchers, and practitioners to share their research findings and innovations that support sustainable development in remote and border regions.
