Sliuzas (Chairman) Dr. T. de Jong (External Examiner) MSc. M. Kuffer (First Supervisor) Drs. M.C.J. Damen (Second Supervisor) INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR GEO-INFORMATION SCIENCE AND EARTH OBSERVATION ENSCHEDE, THE NETHERLANDS Disclaimer This document describes work undertaken as part of a programme of study at the International Institute for Geo-information Science and Earth Observation. All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the institute. Abstract This research aims at developing a method to determine possible allocation of evacuation shelter buildings (ESB) using geo-information technology as a part of urban reconstruction planning in a tsunami-prone urban area; case study is of Meulaboh City, Aceh, Indonesia. Initiated by the great earthquake of Mw=9.3 in the northwest of Sumatra island, Indonesia, the devastating tsunami of December 26, 2004 has become the most important research topic in tsunami research and disaster mitigation efforts today. Disaster mitigation aspects, including minimising casualties, will be part of the reconstruction planning of the tsunami-affected areas. The main effort in minimising casualties in tsunami disaster is to evacuate people from the hazard area before tsunami strikes by means of either horizontal or vertical evacuation.

  • Tsunami Mortality in Aceh Province, Indonesia Shannon Doocy,A Abdur Rofi,B Claire Moodie,C Eric Spring,C Scott Bradley,C Gilbert Burnhama & Courtland Robinson A
    Tsunami mortality in Aceh Province, Indonesia Shannon Doocy,a Abdur Rofi,b Claire Moodie,c Eric Spring,c Scott Bradley,c Gilbert Burnhama & Courtland Robinson a Objective Nine tsunami-affected districts in Aceh, Indonesia, were surveyed between February and August 2005 to characterize tsunami mortality. Methods The surveys employed a two-stage cluster methodology with probability proportional to size sampling, and encompassed 1653 tsunami-displaced households with a pre-tsunami population of 10 063 individuals. Findings Of the original pre-tsunami population, a total of 1642 people, or 17%, were reported as dead or missing in the tsunami. Crude mortality rates in the four survey areas ranged from a high of 23.6% in Aceh Jaya district on the west coast to 5.3% on the east coast. Age-specific mortality rates followed a similar pattern across the four survey areas, with the highest mortality concentrating in the youngest children (aged 0–9 years) and oldest adults (70+). The risk of mortality was significantly greater among females than males; this difference was most pronounced among individuals between ages 10 and 69 years, and diminished among younger and older age groups. Conclusion Mortality risk in the 2004 Asian tsunami varied by geographic location, age and sex. The districts of Aceh Jaya, Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar experienced the greatest mortality. Risk of death was highest among females, and among the oldest and youngest population subgroups. While the full human impact of the Asian tsunami in Aceh Province, in terms of lives lost or damaged, may never be fully measured, the resulting female deficit will likely be the tsunami’s most deeply felt and prolonged impact.

Ltd Contact: John O Niles*, [email protected], +1-805-252-6777 * Primary Contact Resubmitted December 29, 2007 1 Executive Summary This project will develop and test carbon finance mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contribute to sustainable economic and social development and conserve biodiversity over the next 30 years. The project will use land use planning and reclassification, increased monitoring and law enforcement, reforestation, restoration, and sustainable community logging on 750,000 ha of forest in the Ulu Masen Ecosystem and peripheral forest blocks located in the Indonesian Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (hereafter referred to as Aceh Province). The project estimates proposed activities will reduce deforestation in the area by 85% and 3,369,848 tons of CO2 emissions can be avoided each year. Adequate carbon finance is essential for this project to succeed. This Project Design Note is intended to provide a qualified CCBA auditor with sufficient information to make informed decision on whether the project passes CCBA validation, and if so at what level (basic, silver or gold). The project will be undertaken by the Government of Aceh and its institutions, with expected endorsement and support of the national Government of Indonesia (GOI) and relevant agencies.
