The 2004 tsunami disaster that hit Banda Aceh, one city in Indonesia as the worst affected area, has left various relics that need to be considered for their preservation. Nevertheless, it is still a debate so far because heritage preservation refers to the ordinary heritage with positive values from dark heritage after a disaster. It is important to know the significance of values in preserving relics post-disaster as commemoration and learning. In literature, there is still a lack of research about dark heritage values because of natural disasters. The purpose of this research is to explore the community's dark heritage values in encouraging post-disaster area conservation planning. Thus, the purpose of this research is to reveal and explain post-disaster area planning through the approach of dark heritage values. This research was conducted from December 2019 to April 2020 in the post-tsunami area of Banda Aceh as the most affected area with in-depth interviews with 36 informants from the local community, survivors, tourists, experts, and government to know their values. This study uses an interpretative approach because it seeks to construct the existence of dark heritage values in people's perception of seeing a post-disaster area as a heritage. The study results provide new insights that understanding a historic area is not always seen from values with a positive side. Still, dark side values also become a reference that needs to be considered to be preserved for the area's sustainability. The results showed that communities have memory, symbolic, narrative, religious, and scientific values in the post-disaster landscape.

Perubahan tutupan lahan banyak terdapat di kota-kota yang sedang berkembang. Banda Aceh, Indonesia merupakan salah satu provinsi yang sudah mengalami peningkatan jumlah penduduk dan percepatan pembangunan. Pasca bencana gempa dan tsunami 2004 perubahan penggunaan dan tutupan lahan (land use and land cover change/LULC) terlihat semakin meluas, dan hal ini berdampak pada berkurangnya lahan vegetatif. Artikel ini menjelaskan cara menganalisis NDVI dengan mengunakan data citra satelit Landsat 5 dan 8 untuk mengetahui kerapatan vegetasi di wilayah Banda Aceh dengan 9 kecamatan yang diambil tahun 2004, 2009, dan 2017. Studi ini mengidentifikasi antara pola perubahan tutupan lahan dan menyelidiki dampak tsunami, sehingga banyak kehilangan vegetasi pada lingkungan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan Sistem Informasi Geografis (GIS) dimana tahap awal adalah mengumpulkan data citra satelit. Pada tahap kedua dilakukan pengolahan data menggunakan software PCI Geomatika 2016. Hasil analisa citra menjelaskan tahun 2004, 2009 dan 2017  kawasan kehijauan, masih banyak terdapat di kecamatan Lueng Bata, Ulee Kareng dan Banda Raya. Changes in land cover are often found in developing cities. Banda Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia that experiences an increase in the population and accelerated development. Land use and land cover (LULC) have increased dramatically since the 2004 earthquake and tsunami disaster and continued to reduce the vegetative land. This article explains how to analyze NDVI using Landsat 5 and 8 of the satellite image data. It aims to determine the vegetation density of Banda Aceh in 9 sub-districts taken in 2004, 2009 and 2017. This study identified patterns of changes in land cover and investigated the impact of the tsunami on the vegetational loss of the environment. Geographic Information System (GIS) was used in the study in which the satellite image data were collected before they were processed in the PCI Geomatika 2016 software. The results indicate that in the years of 2004, 2009 and 2017, many green areas are present in Lueng Bata, Ulee Kareng and Banda Raya sub-district. Keywords: Remote Sensing, Landsat Imagery, and NDVI

Abstract After the 2004 tsunami disaster, many aid housing developments were carried out, including housing in Gampong Tibang (Tibang Village), Banda Aceh City, with the pattern of building in the initial plot, with low building density. The local community has developed their housing according to their needs. When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, requiring everyone to be in their respective homes, causing open space in the housing environment to become important as a village communal space, which has social and health functions for residents. This research emphasizes how people use communal open spaces for various activities, which are adaptive to the COVID-19 health protocol. The study approach uses field research quickly, the data is obtained by observing the type of housing open space that has the public function (communal open space) and the behavior of the community in using the space. The analysis was carried out in an analytical descriptive manner, looking at the pattern of activities associated with the COVID-19 health protocol. The results showed that there were 9 communal spaces spread over 4 types: a) field with a bale (an open design building of wood), which was used by men; b) the space around the kiosk that provides seating on an open terrace for all residents; c) open space around the intersection for children to play dynamically (cycling, running, sitting); d) the terrace of the residents’ house which is more for the passive activities of women. That four types of spaces according to the COVID-19 health protocol are very familiar with a natural atmosphere (enough air circulation and sufficient exposure to sunlight). The conclusion of the study shows that the need for socio-cultural space is still needed by the community during the COVID-19 pandemic which can actually make residents healthy.

Just over 1.5 years have past since the December 26, 2004, tsunami devastated the Province of Aceh, killing or injuring some 100,000 people and multiplying the problems of the province, which was already suffering from battles between the Indonesian army and armed independence forces of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM: Gerkan Aceh Mardeka). The half-century conflict has killed more than 15,000 soldiers and citizens of Banda Aceh, and the government placed Banda Aceh under martial law, limiting the number of foreign visitors. After the tsunami brought the previously unknown city to world attention, most people had to seek answers about where it was on the Internet or in atlases.

The Indian Ocean tsunami of 26th December 2004 unleashed catastrophe in many nations including coastal communities located along the west-coast of Malaysian Peninsular.  The goal of this study is to explore the impact of the tsunami to the preparedness of the affected coastal communities.   Data was collected through questionnaire, interviews, documents analysis and field observations.  It was found that the 2004 tsunami disaster has left a significant mark on Malaysia's and the world's disaster management landscape but the tragedy has also heightened disaster awareness and steps must be taken to ensure vulnerable communities are well-equipped to face any eventualities.

The Australian Government first started to deploy civilian medical teams internationally in the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami to Banda Aceh, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka. Historically, Australia had relied upon the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to provide overseas medical assistance, but, in this instance, the volunteers deployed were civilian staff, predominantly from tertiary hospital environments. Civilian Australian Medical Assistance Teams (AUSMATs), particularly in Banda Aceh, interacted closely with the ADF after the tsunami and have had a close liaison with the ADF in subsequent disasters, particularly where ADF assistance was required for aeromedical evacuation of patients. This has included assistance after the 2005 Bali bombing, the 2009 Ashmore Reef explosion, the 2009 Samoa tsunami, and the 2010 Pakistan floods. In the latter, Australia deployed a joint military-civilian medical taskforce to provide care to the affected people in Kot Addu in central Pakistan. Having had extensive experience in both military and civilian disaster responses, the authors in this presentation will look at the lessons that can be shared between civilian and military teams in the Australian context. The military brings particular proficiency in command and control, information gathering, security, communications, general logistics, aeromedical evacuation and living in the field. The civilian AUSMATs bring specialized medical expertise, experience in operating in small teams in a range of disaster conditions, health logistics, surveillance, and public health measures in a disaster setting. Learning how to blend these skill sets will be critical in ensuring effective and collaborative international deployments in the future.
