I am confident that given the logistics, the planning and resources available, that we got it right,” he said. Beneficiary Ira Ma’aruf, 26, sobbed after seeing her transitional home for the first time. “Living in the tent was very hard for the children. I always worried that they will get sick form from sleeping on the ground. Praise Allah and thank you for giving us a chance to start a new life,” she said. Umar Dani, one of the headmen of Tingkeum, was also close to tears. “It is so good to be able to provide this service and to work with IOM. With your commitment we will work even harder to get the rest of the homes built for our brothers and sisters,” he said. The Indonesian-designed, four-room, 36-sq/m RISHA II units, which are designed for three years of occupancy, are piped for water, wired for electricity and equipped with a kitchen and bathroom.

Thus far, one hundred thirty shelter units were delivered to IOM and are in various phases of assembly and construction. Three hundred units are en route from Jakarta while an additional 700 will be delivered during May. International Organization for Migration Progress continues at the shelter locations with 36 shelters at the second Tingkeum nearly half completed. COUNTER-TRAFFICKING UNIT Livelihood Training in Progress IOM’s counter-trafficking livelihood initiative to support women in tsunami-affected areas of Aceh was launched in Lancang village, Bireuen district, on 18 April. This initiative aims to prevent human trafficking through a variety of livelihood trainings which target vulnerable women. Following the first successful training on duck husbandry, IOM offered courses on salt production and fish drying for 49 women on 26 April. Additional vocations include baking and sewing which will take place at a governmental barrack on a weekly basis. Up to 145 women will receive assistance in Bireuen and 600 across the Province.

So far, thirty patients visited the SHC , Americares, a nonprofit disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization providing immediate response to emergency medical needs, as well as supporting long-term humanitarian assistance programs, provided five sets of medical equipment to five SHCs. The non-medical equipment is purchased locally. The whole set for Lambaro SHC was installed before the clinic became operational. The medical team of the Lambaro SHC comprises a total of 16 medical staff, including two doctors and six nurses. Eight barracks, also known as Temporary Living Centers (TLCs), accommodating 854 displaced persons, are adjacent to the Lambaro SHC. The residents of the TLC welcomed the long-awaited opening of the clinic. Ms. Jauhan Jalaluddin, 35 years old, suffers from severe stomach problems but has never received proper medical attention. Jauhan says a lack of available nutritious food and mental stress caused by the tsunami exaberate her pain. “I saw the water coming towards me that day and I still have flashbacks when I see water. I am scared.” Her condition has worsened dramatically over the past few months and Jauhan told IOM coordinators that she is happy about the opening of the SHC and plans to visit Ms. Jauhan Jalahuddin (R) telling her neighbours about her the clinic as soon as possible. health concerns Photo by: Katsui Kaya © IOM 2005 Darussalam SHC will soon be ready to operate this week.

In this article, the authors provide an overview of these collections by presenting their collecting histories from the earliest acquisitions to the most recent collections and by highlighting a number of objects, which in their materials, techniques, motifs, colours or function show a combination of elements from both Chinese and Indonesian cultures. The authors pay particular attention to objects which play a role in the Chinese-Indonesian wedding ceremony. KEYWORDS Chinese Indonesians; Peranakan; National Museum of World Cultures; Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen; museum collections. INTRODUCTION Since 2014, the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, the National Museum of Ethnology in Leiden and the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal have been merged into The National Museum of World Cultures. The museums in both Leiden and Amsterdam house extensive collections from Indonesia, most of which were acTuired during colonial times, and these oEMects reflect historical developments and past ways of life. Recent acquisitions, on the other hand, for the most part are supposed not only to be intrinsically beautiful or interesting Dr Francine Brinkgreve is curator for the Insular Southeast Asia collection at the National Museum of World Cultures.

  • Indonesian Customary Law and European Colonialism: a Comparative Analysis on Adat Law
    Ⅳ KFBJM¤3¤)3122* Bebu¤Mbx 351 ARTICLE Indonesian Customary Law and European Colonialism: A Comparative Analysis on Adat Law Zezen Zaenal Mutaqin� This paper argues that what Van Vollenhoven did in dealing with adat law was in fact part and parcel of the colonial policy to exploit the colony for the benefit of the Dutch and had nothing to do with being‘ a good Samaritan’by saving‘ the other’ legal culture. What he did also was mainly triggered by what I refer to as cultural anxiety. His campaign to promote adat law was intensified by his fear of the rise of Islamic identity that would be used as a rebellious ideology by the people of Indonesia to fight against the Dutch. Furthermore, I argue that Van Vollenhoven’s intellectual background, heavily influenced by European legal romanticism, had intensified his advocacy to promote adat law in Indonesia.

    Rusydy et al. Geoenvironmental Disasters (2020) 7:8 Geoenvironmental Disasters https://doi.org/10.1186/s40677-020-0145-5 RESEARCH Open Access Shallow crustal earthquake models, damage, and loss predictions in Banda Aceh, Indonesia Ibnu Rusydy1,2* , Yunita Idris2,3, Mulkal4, Umar Muksin2,5, Phil Cummins6, Muhammad Nouval Akram2 and Syamsidik2,3 Abstract The city of Banda Aceh stands on Holocene fluvial basin sediment, surrounded by the Aceh and Seulimeum fault segments where large magnitude earthquakes can occur at any time. Such earthquakes could cause extensive physical infrastructure damages, injuries, and economic loss. This research aims to produce several earthquake scenarios, to determine the damage ratio of the buildings and its distribution in these different scenarios and to estimate the number of potential casualties and economic loss. Data analysis in this research includes modelling an earthquake by applying a ground motion model for shallow crustal earthquakes to yield an intensity map after the correction for site effects. The damage ratios for different types of buildings were calculated using the fragility curves of buildings that were developed by other researchers. Building occupants at different times, building damage ratios, and injury ratios were used to determine the number of injured residents in the earthquake scenario. The results show that Banda Aceh could be potentially experience earthquake ground motion within the intensity range from MMI VII to IX due to earthquakes of Mw 6.5 to Mw 7.0. The Mw 7.0 earthquake on the Aceh segment is the worst case scenario, causing building damage throughout Banda Aceh with casualty rates of 3.5– 20% of the population in buildings in general if it happened during daytime, with economic loss about 3320 million USD.

  • Architecture and the Politics of Identity in Indonesia a Study of the Cultural History of Aceh
    Architecture and the Politics of Identity in Indonesia A Study of the Cultural History of Aceh Izziah Hasan B.Arch. (Institute of Technology, Surabaya, Indonesia) M.Sc. (Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Adelaide School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design Centre for Asian and Middle Eastern Architecture (CAMEA) © Izziah Hasan September 2009 ABSTRACT While the history of the region of Aceh is intertwined with the history of Indonesia, contemporary literature provides only scanty information on the cultural and architectural heritage of Aceh. This study explores the cultural history of Aceh to reveal, on the one hand, its distinctive richness and the role it has played in shaping the contemporary history of Indonesia, and on the other, the influence of the socio- political developments in post-independence Indonesia on the shaping of Aceh’s cultural, urban and architectural identity. The study focuses on the discourse of architectural identity in post-independence Indonesia in general and the region of Aceh in particular. It examines the ways in which architecture and urban spaces are conceived and represented by Indonesian scholars and politicians, and the ways in which they are politicalised and aesthethicised to represent a uniform Indonesian identity, including that of Aceh. The study argues that such uniform and rigid representation is problematic, for it tends to obliterate differences and to reduce the richness and diversity of the Indonesian culture to a simplified pattern of predictable characteristics. It further argues that cultural identity evolves over time and is difficult to fix within rigid frames and definitions.
