Pusaka merupakan salah satu unsur penting dalam perencanaan kota. Pusaka dapat terbentuk karena nilai-nilai signifikan yang melekat padanya, namun selama ini acapkali pusaka dianggap penting jika memiliki nilai-nilai berkarakteristik baik dan positif pada sebuah kawasan berupa bangunan, kelompok bangunan dan monumen. Padahal tidak hanya itu, pusaka terbentuk dari nilai-nilai signifikan yang komprehensif baik akibat peristiwa baik maupun buruk dan nilai usia tidak menjadi pertimbangan utama lagi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah pemikiran komponen nilai-nilai dalam perencanaan pusaka yaitu nilai tangible dan nilai intangible yang membangkitkan nilai-nilai dalam masyarakat untuk melestarikan pusaka. Penelitian ini memakai metode gabungan dengan pendekatan interpretatif dari hasil survei online dan wawancara mendalam karena berupaya mengkonstruksikan keberadaan nilai-nilai signifikan kultural dalam persepsi publik yang memandang sebuah kawasan sebagai pusaka dengan mengambil kasus di beberapa kawasan yang terkena dampak bencana tsunami 2004 di Banda Aceh seperti kawasan kapal PLTD Apung dan sekitarnya. Hasil pembahasan yang didapatkan adalah persepsi publik akan nilai-nilai pembentuk pusaka lebih menekankan pada nilai-nilai intangible seperti, nilai memori, nilai sense of place, nilai spiritual dan nilai tradisi sebagai bentuk pembelajaran dengan mengenang peristiwa besar yang dimanifestasikan dalam bentuk-bentuk fisik di kawasan pasca bencana.

Sejarah kota Banda Aceh berkembang dari kumpulan perkampungan tradisional yang unik secara ekologi, salah satunya Gampong Lamseupeung sebagai kampung tepi sungai. Ketika bencana tsunami 2004 merusak kota, kampung tersebut tidak terkena, tapi mengalami dampak ketika kota Banda Aceh dirancang kembali dengan pendekatan kebencanaan, yang mengembangkan infrastruktur jalan evakuasi melintasi beberapa perkampungan tradisional. Hal ini menyebabkan perubahan fisikal kampung tradisional, dan karakter masyarakat setempat. Tulisan ini mengkaji perubahan ekologi perkampungan tradisional tepi sungai sebagai akibat morfologi kota Banda Aceh. Kajian ini dianggap penting karena sejalan dengan Agenda pembangunan dunia tahun 2015 hingga 2030, melihat bagaimana pembangunan perkotaan yang inklusif, aman, berketahanan dan berkelanjutan, dan memperhatikan karakter masyarakat lokal. Pendekatan penelitian secara fenomenologi melihat rekam jejak perubahan fisik kampung dengan metoda kualitatif diskriptif, terkait dua hal, yaitu: i) aspek struktur lingkungan perkampungannya dan sumber daya kampung; ii) aspek dinamika kehidupan sosial budaya dan ekonomi masyarakat. Hasil penelitian tampak perubahan pola, orientasi dan pergeseran kepadatan kampung ke arah jalan arteri dan  perubahan masyarakat berkarakter urban. Hal ini memperlemah ikatan budaya pada lahan dan ikatan sosial budaya masyarakat. Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan, keberadaan perkampungan tradisional perlu dipertimbangkan dalam pembangunan kota modern untuk kota kecil-sedang. Pada dasarnya mereka yang membentuk karakter khusus suatu kota.

AbstractIntroduction:When the Tsunami struck Asia on 26 December 2004, Aceh, Indonesia suffered more damage than did any other region. After the Tsunami, many humanitarian organizations provided aid in Aceh. For example, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), along with the Indonesian and Norwegian Red Cross opened a field hospital in Banda Aceh on 16 January 2005. This study describes the illnesses seen in the out-patient department/casualty department (OPD/CD) of the ICRC hospital nine weeks after the Tsunami. It describes the percentage of people seen for problems directly related to the Tsunami, and includes a basic screening for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Methods:A prospective, five-day study was performed from 01–05 March 2005. Patients registering in the ICRC field hospital in Banda Aceh were considered for the study. Data collected included: (1) age; (2) gender; (3) diagnosis in the OPD/CD; and (4) whether or not the problem was related directly to the Tsunami. Seven basic questions were asked to screen for depression and PTSD symptoms.Results:Twelve percent of the problems seen in the OPD/CD nine weeks after the Tsunami still were related directly to the Tsunami. Sixty-three percent of patients in the study were male. The medical problems included: (1) urological (19%); (2) digestive (16%); (3) respiratory (12%); and (4) musculoskeletal (12%). Although <2% of patients were diagnosed with a mental health problem, 24% had at least four or more of the seven depression/PTSD symptoms addressed in the study.Conclusions:Post-earthquake and post-tsunami health problems and medical needs differ from those found in conflict zones. After the Tsunami, both surgical and primary healthcare teams were needed. Many problems were chronic medical problems, which may be indicative of the lack of healthcare infrastructure before the Tsunami. The findings suggest that mental health issues must be taken into consideration for future planning. The ethical issues of performing research in complex emergencies also need further development at the international level.

Banda Aceh

Aceh has archeological remains in the form of gravestones from several Islamic kingdoms that once stood there. One area that pretty much brings Islamic artifacts is the city of Banda Aceh. Some buildings during the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam are still firmly established, one of which is Masjid Baiturahmaan Banda Aceh. In addition to building heritage, the city of Banda Aceh turned out to have many burial complexes from the time of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam. Tuan Di Kandang Cemetery Complex, Putri Ijo, Kings of Kampung Pande, and Tombs of the Bugis Dynasty Kings. The four cemetery complexes are cemeteries of the descendants of count of the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam. The existence of the cemetery complex there are located close to the shoreline now. Year 2004 Tsunami-affected Banda Aceh swallowed quite a lot of casualties. The existence of gravestones in the four complexes experienced significant damage. One of them is the position of the placement of the tombstones that have been turned by the brunt of the 2004 tsunami. In addition, due to the tsunami strikes, several tombstones around the Tuan Di Kandang Tomb complex, Raja Kampung Pande, Putri Ijo arose, and the Tombs of the Bugis Dynasty Kings. Some gravestones that emerged after the tsunami hit gave us new data sources regarding the existence of gravestones from the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam. In his writings, Daphne A. Johnson in the journal Reconceptualizing Cultural Identity and Its Role in Intercultural Business Communication (2007: 281-285) explained that identity has attributes. It then cause problems in the form of how the attributes are visible on the gravestones that arises after the 2004 tsunami and its relationship with the cemetery around. Based on the survey results of the study found that the presence of these gravestones have attributes similar to that of the four surrounding funeral complex and indirectly shows that there is a relationship with the Kingdom of Aceh Darussalam.

AbstractBackground:The human impact of the tsunami that occurred on 26 December 2004 was enormous, with Indonesia bearing a huge proportion of the losses. The aftermath brought predictions of communicable disease outbreaks and widespread fear of epidemics. However, evidence from previous disasters due to natural hazards does not support all of these predictions. The objectives of this study were to: (1) describe the relative importance of infectious diseases and injuries as a consequence of a disaster due to natural hazards; and (2) identify key recommendations for the improvement of control and surveillance of these diseases during and after disasters.Methods:A team from the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters visited Jakarta and Banda Aceh from 11–23 January 2005, and collected data from the Central and Provincial Ministries of Health (MOH), the World Health Organization (WHO), and a field hospital from the International Committee of the Red Cross in Banda Aceh. The epidemiological profiles of diseases before and after the tsunami were compared. Cholera, tetanus, wounds and wound infections, acute respiratory infections, malaria, and dengue were included in this analysis.Results:Certain diseases (e.g., cholera, malaria, dengue) are not always an immediate priority post-disaster. Rates of disaster-related health conditions requiring emergency response fell by half, and became negligible around four weeks after the precipitating events. Some conditions, such as aspiration pneumonia and tetanus, which normally are rare, require special preparedness for emergency personnel. In addition, resistant and rare pathogens are associated with disasters due to natural hazards in the tropics and require specialized knowledge for the rapid and successful treatment of related infections.Conclusions:Within the first four weeks of a disaster, international humanitarian agencies in the health sector should start working with the MOH. The WHO surveillance system established immediately after the tsunami offers lessons for developing a prototype for future emergencies. Guidelines for tetanus and aspiration pneumonia should be included in disaster medicine handbooks, and humanitarian aid groups should be prepared to provide emergency obstetrics and post-natal services. Relief funding after naturally occurring disasters should consider funding sustainability. Donors should know when to stop providing emergency relief funds and transition to recovery/development strategies.
