  • The Beneficiaries' Perspective on the Role of Ngos in Post
    The Beneficiaries’ Perspective on the Role of NGOs in Post-Tsunami Reconstruction in Aceh, Indonesia Norhazlina Fairuz Musa Kutty A thesis in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences August 2017 ii Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Australia's I Global UNSW University SYDNEY Surname/Family Name MUSAKUTTY Given Name/s NORHAZLINA FAIRUZ MUSA KUTTY Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar SOSSAR1272 Faculty ART AND SOCIAL SCIENCES School SOCIAL SCIENCES THE BENEFICIARIES PERSPECTIVES OF ROLE OF NGOS IN POST TSUNAMI Thesis Title RECONSTRUCTION IN ACEH, INDONESIA Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis analyses the challenges that were faced by non-state actors in rebuilding and developing post-tsunami Aceh, Indonesia during the post tsunami reconstruction from 2004 to 2010. There are five main phases in post tsunami reconstruction in Aceh, emergency, recovery, rehabilitation, reconstruction and post developmental phase. The research focused the contribution from emergency and recovery phase and rehabilitation and reconstruction phase toward the development phase. The research investigated the roles of civil society organizations such as international non­ governmental organizations and other international agencies in post disaster development. Previous research had focused mostly from the NGOs' perspective and not examined the reconstruction process in Aceh from the viewpoint of the beneficiaries. This empirical study drew on participants in Aceh, Banda Aceh, and West Aceh. The methods applied were in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with affected communities, International Non-Governmental Organizations, and government agencies. The research found that the extent to which affected communities as beneficiaries participated in the various programs and projects had a strong effect on their capacity building in the development phase.

  • An Anthropological Account of a Visit to the Museum Istiqlal
    An Anthropological Account — Jonathan Zilberg 251 The purpose of this article is fourfold. Firstly, it expands upon the previous anthropological discussion of the Museum Istiqlal in Indonesia. Secondly, it reflects on the national importance of the intended role of the Museum Istiqlal in promoting this identity. Thirdly, this article considers problematic aspects of the collection itself, the state of the museum and above all—the unfulfilled potential the Museum Istiqlal offers for Islamic education in Indonesia. Fourthly, it provides a relatively extensive bibliography so as to introduces some of the substantial academic literature which is relevant to the collection and thus of potential use to scholars and museum specialists potentially interested in this under-utilized museum. Key words: Museum Istiqlal, museum, identity, anthropology. An Anthropological Account of a Visit to the Museum Istiqlal Jonathan Zilberg University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Introduction—Enter the Museum: A Personal Encounter by Way of Aceh In 2005, I become interested in the Aceh Provincial Museum (Museum Negeri Aceh) in Banda Aceh and what could be done to support it considering that it had survived the tsunami entirely intact. I had heard of the government’s plans to build a tsunami museum and my position as a museum ethnographer was that it was a very poor idea. I argued that if any money was to be spent on a museum in Banda Aceh (Zilberg 2008, 2009), it should have gone to supporting the provincial museum in terms of maintenance, salaries, training, exhibitions, educational outreach and bilateral international support programs. I was thus extremely gratified to see an exhibition of historical documents at the Provincial Museum organized by Asian Research Institute at the National University of Singapore on the occasion of the First International Conference of Aceh and the Indian Ocean.

  • Introduction to “TSUNAMI TOURISM”: Notes from Aceh, Indonesia
    International Journal of Sciences Research Article (ISSN 2305-3925) Volume 2, Issue Mar 2013 http://www.ijSciences.com Introduction to “TSUNAMI TOURISM”: Notes from Aceh, Indonesia Dony Adriansyah Nazaruddin1, Rahmadhani Sulaiman2 1Geoscience Programme, Faculty of Earth Science, Universiti Malaysia Kelantan, UMK Jeli Campus, Locked Bag No. 100, 17600 Jeli, Kelantan 2Director, Aceh Tsunami Museum, Jalan Sultan Iskandar Muda, Banda Aceh 23125, Indonesia Abstract: The 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake with magnitude of 9.0 – 9.3 on the Richter Scale triggered a big tsunami that killed more than 200,000 people all over the world. Aceh (or its full name is Aceh Darussalam province) is the area hardest-hit by the tsunami then which caused the loss of around 170,000 local people and destroyed many buildings and infrastructures. After the tsunami, Aceh become well-known all over the world. The geohazard, however, has inspired Aceh authority and supported by Indonesia government and foreign countries to build some tsunami-related sites such as the Aceh Tsunami Museum, the Tsunami Educational Park, the Tsunami Inundation Monuments, the fishing boat atop a ruined house, and the “Aceh Thanks the World” Memorial Park. The curiosity about the tragedy is driving a new kind of tourism, i.e. tsunami tourism. This paper will expose about the occurrence of the 2004 Aceh earthquake and tsunami, the emergence of tsunami tourism, and the tsunami-related sites. These sites are important not only as the centres of tsunami education and symbolic reminders of the 2004 tsunami, but also as new tourism spots in Aceh. Keywords: Tsunami; tsunami tourism; tsunami-related sites; Aceh province; Indian Ocean.

And many would consider the presence of dead bodies to be the main cause. To the consternation of seasoned experts, many health responders in the humanitarian community share these mistaken beliefs and perpetuate these misconceptions. Indeed these are among the most persistent and contagious disaster myths that the World Health Organization (WHO) and Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) have tried to eradicate. Sadly, they have had only limited success. Most myths are based on some degree of truth. Indeed, dead bodies were the reservoir and source of the “Black Death” in Europe in the mid-fourteenth century, and it is also true that longstanding conflicts in failed states that resulted in war- induced famine and the destruction of health services have led to epidemics.

  • DRR Planning and Implementation
    Data Collection Survey on Disaster Risk Reduction in the Republic of Indonesia YACHIYO ENGINEERING CO.,LTD./ORIENTAL CONSULTANTS GLOBAL CO.,LTD. JV DRR Planning and Implementation Development of Tsunami Master Plan 2012 (BNPB) It was fortunate that the 2012 Indian Ocean Earthquakes (11-Apr-2012, offshore Aceh, M8.6/M8.2) did not generate any major tsunami. However, it revealed some fundamental issues at the local government level, such as the absence of emergency preparedness, inappropriate propagation of disaster information and early warning, lack of clearly defined decision-making process, and insufficient evacuation routes and facilities. The earthquake was strong enough to trigger tsunami early warning of InaTEWS (though there was no major tsunami in reality), which caused panic or a chaotic situation in Aceh and Padang. Many people evacuated using cars, causing a significant traffic jam. If any major tsunami had occurred, they could not have succeeded to evacuate and there would have been a number of victims. Fortunately, the warning Based on the lessons learned from this event, BNPB developed the Tsunami Master Plan (2012-2014), which aimed to implement tsunami hazard analysis, tsunami DRR planning at local government levels, improvement in transmission of tsunami early warning, appropriate evacuation instruction, enhancement of warning systems, construction of tsunami evacuation route and facilities (TES), and promotion of community disaster risk management. In the Tsunami Master Plan, the areas of high tsunami risk were identified based on the calculations of potential tsunami heights with a 500-year return period for each Kabupaten / Kota. The plan aimed to focus on these high-risk areas to implement most effective countermeasures such as tsunami DRR planning and evacuation planning.
