As many as 3.05 million workers in Indonesia have been affected by layoffs (PHK) due to the coronavirus in early 2020. This pandemic has made the lives of the Acehnese people even more difficult for certain groups. The worst impact of the pandemic occurred in the lower middle class and women, one of which was the youth in the Aceh Besar region. In the group of young women, family economic problems also overlap with health problems. So by providing capital assistance and training in making mask connectors to groups of young girls, it is hoped that they will not only help them face the current pandemic but also become a new, better source of income in the long term. This is accompanied by educational activities about the importance of implementing health protocols and the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine. Two methods are used: the first is providing information about Covid-19, Health Protocols, and the benefits of the Covid-19 vacc...

Killing 227.898 people across 14 countries, with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand the hardest hit. Aceh was struggling under more than 30 years of armed conflict whilst facing one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history. As a blessing in disguise, the post-tsunami reconstruction has opened many opportunities for Aceh: ending the long civil war and receiving aid predicted as much as US$ 6.1 billion. The Indonesia government claimed to have built more than 120.000 homes, 3.500 kilometers of roads, 266 bridges, 20 ports, 12 airports, 954 health facilities, 1.450 school buildings, and 979 public offices. This paper’s objective is to discuss the problem found in those assets to have complete lessons learned perspective. Secondary data was analyzed from the final report of Transition Unit - a temporary body assisting the Aceh P...

No exception with Indonesia, a developing country with the highest mortality rate and the lowest number of tests in Asia. Located in the northernmost, Aceh is one of the poorest provinces with a history of long-term conflict is not in the best condition to face a pandemic. This study's objective is to assess the local government's performance in responding to this pandemic according to the Acehnese community's level of satisfaction. Additionally, this study proposes a priority list for the local government to follow up on. A total of 529 respondents were collected within a week by the criteria of having internet access, being literate, and using WhatsApp messenger. The results show that the Acehnese are dissatisfied with the local government's performance in all districts or cities and at all stages, which include: anticipation, early detection, containment, control and mitigation, and elimination. Meanwhile, the top five priority recommendations are: conducting more rapid test and COVID-19 test; providing more test tools; performing detection; and inhibiting spread. These findings lead to many interpretations: lower trust towards the government, a poor health system, and potential influence on the political output. While vaccines are now being distributed in Aceh, the main focus is still to minimize spread and heal the sick. Looking at these results, the Aceh provincial government needs to work harder to improve both its performance and reputation with the Acehnese people.

Among other structures, hospitals are considered the most essential assets in disaster management. Located near the coastal area, Meuraxa Hospital is one of the public hospitals, which was destroyed by a tsunami and earthquake in 2004. The hospital was rebuilt in a new location within the city far away from the shoreline. The aim of this study is to evaluate the building performance of Meuraxa Hospital following its post-disaster reconstruction using three main variables: Built Environment and User Building, Building System Levels, and Disaster Risk Management (DRM). The sample units are individuals including hospital staff and visitors selected through probability sampling. In 2012, Meuraxa Hospital had 269 staff and 183 patients for a total of 452 people; the sample size was 107 respondents. This study used a modified AEDET toolkit proven to be valid and reliable in a previous study by the same author. The modification goal is to meet the local needs by adding a building system representing local regulations and DRM for the post-disaster context. The scales of performances for the questionnaires are adopted in full from the AEDET system using a descriptive statistic with the average score for each variable. Additionally, interviews with key persons and field observations were integrated for a comprehensive analysis. The total score for Built Environment and Building User is 3.61 (“accepted”), for Building System, it is 3.69 (“accepted”), and for DRM, it is 3.53 (“accepted”). Meuraxa Hospital is a collaboration project with multiple donors including Indonesia, Austria, and Hungary. Each donor built a separate building in one compound. Two major criticisms resulted: First, the donors refused to facilitate hospital management space, which does not make sense as such space is necessary to operate a hospital. The second involved the failure of the semi-stilt design applied, which was difficult to maintain and became a burden because waste and rainwater were collected under it. In general, the performance of the hospital building is acceptable. The lesson learned was that each donor has different quality control standards during construction, and this results in a variety of building qualities in one compound project. Hospital management is one of the main activities in a hospital that should be accommodated, and designing public buildings with semi-stilts is not recommended as maintenance is difficult. In the context of tsunami and earthquake risks, designing and building use strong construction, a flexible structure, and multistory buildings are more significant.

In Indonesian construction industry, among many stages of construction process, handover is still commonly underrated or even skipped. This is no different in the case of post-disaster reconstruction where challenges raised as there were pressures to build thousands of facilities in a limited amount of time and need to be occupied as soon as possible. This study objective is to evaluate the handover practice in post-disaster reconstruction of public buildings and facilities after being occupied. The survey focused only for buildings constructed by the Indonesia government agency (BRR) and managed to cover 24 buildings that are divided into government offices, schools and community health centres in Banda Aceh, the capi...

The allocation for the projects directly implemented by the BRR was approximately USD 2.6 billion. Based on local regulation, these assets must be turned over to the Aceh government. Although most assets were already occupied, neither an appropriate handover nor external project evaluation was conducted. This preliminary study surveyed opinions from building users regarding building quality, the need for building evaluation, and the general opinion for occupying assets with no appropriate handover process in a post-disaster context. The samples included a school, health center, and a sub-district level government office in Banda Aceh city. This study used descriptive methods and a quantitative approach. Results sho...

Hospitals are some of the most important buildings in the disaster-management cycle. Previous studies have shown that there is no specific tool for evaluating post-disaster hospital-building performance. This study aims to test the validity and reliability of a proposed framework of building-performance evaluation (BPE) in a disaster context for public hospitals based on partial least squares (PLS) analysis. The researcher distributed 405 questionnaires to building users in four rebuilt public hospitals in Aceh, Indonesia. The results showed that the hierarchical construct model (HCM) with reflective-reflective relationships and third-order framework comprises 16 criteria; 72 items were valid and reliable, and all path coefficients were considered highly significant. These results reflect the degree of explained variance of third-order in its second-order components: built environment and building user (89%), building system (93%), and disaster-risk management/DRM (85%). DRM as the new variable added to the BPE conceptual model for a post-disaster reconstruction (PDR) context is justified. The confirmed framework can be used to evaluate post-disaster hospital performance in the future. The BPE framework should also be tested in other types of post-disaster hospitals.

About USD 2.6 billion were spent on projects implemented by the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Bureau (BRR NAD-Nias). The fact is that when BRR were dissolved, there is still not a single asset that has been transferred to the Aceh government until at present and no evaluation made so far. The objective of this study is to evaluate these assets – government offices, schools, and com-munity health centres at sub-district level – based on end-user judgements. This study had applied the quantitative approach and for the sampling method, first started with random cluster sampling that covered 45% buildings and followed by the simple random method with the target of 1 building to 1 respondent. From 48 questionnaires distributed, 50% were completed and collected. For the purpose of data analysis, this study made use of descriptive statistics-median, RII (Relative Important Index), and mode analysis. The results were utilised as planned and accepted, however, with unclear transfer processes and incomplete documents. As a conclusion, these assets could not be regarded as assets belonging to the Aceh government until proper documentation has been completed.

History recorded that Malaysian construction industry has suffered high proportion of business failure compared to other industries during economic downturn because in general construction industry respond slowly to environmental changes. The objective of this paper is to define the survival strategy variables (SSVs) used by construction companies in Malaysia for the past two economic downturns to endure competitiveness for survival in the future. Respondents to this research are large construction companies under G7 as per classification of the Construction Industry Development Board of Malaysia (CIDB). The findings of this study are based on 152 questionnaires, out of 600 sent out by the researchers, with a response rate of 25.3%. This study used the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the frequency analysis as methodologies. The findings show that the construction companies responded differently in the two periods of economic downturn, and among the top key SSVs found were management style, market penetration, quality improvement, market development, and product development.

Evaluation and monitoring in every building life cycle in reconstruction process is important to increase the quality of the aid project. Among all types of public buildings and facilities, hospital is considered as one of the most essential assets in disaster management. However, there is no list of criteria available yet to evaluate post-disaster hospital building performance. The objective of this study is to identify the key criteria for hospital building. A total of 116 respondents are collected from experts of built environment field and high level position staff in grade B hospital in the capital city of Aceh province, Banda Aceh. After conducting Cronbach's alpha coefficient test and factor analysis, total twenty-six criteria were found reliable and valid. Subsequent with the relative importance indices (RII) analysis, this study has come out with the top-fifteen most important criteria for post-disaster reconstruction building performance as in order: safety, health, control of environment impact, easiness, accessibility, engineering, building quality, staff and patient environment, comfort, functionality, building form and material, operational maintenance guideline, local institution capacity, architecture, disaster resilience, and the last criterion is sustainability. It is recommended to use these criteria for hospital building performance evaluation especially in disaster prone area. Future study is need to find out that the same criteria is applicable for other type of buildings and locations.

Evaluation and monitoring in every building life cycle in reconstruction process is important to increase the quality of the aid project. Among all types of public buildings and facilities, hospital is considered as one of the most essential assets in disaster management. However, there is no list of criteria available yet to evaluate post-disaster hospital building performance. The objective of this study is to identify the key criteria for hospital building. A total of 116 respondents are collected from experts of built environment field and high level position staff in grade B hospital in the capital city of Aceh province, Banda Aceh. After conducting Cronbach's alpha coefficient test and factor analysis, total twenty-six criteria were found reliable and valid. Subsequent with the relative importance indices (RII) analysis, this study has come out with the top-fifteen most important criteria for post-disaster reconstruction building performance as in order: safety, health, control of environment impact, easiness, accessibility, engineering, building quality, staff and patient environment, comfort, functionality, building form and material, operational maintenance guideline, local institution capacity, architecture, disaster resilience, and the last criterion is sustainability. It is recommended to use these criteria for hospital building performance evaluation especially in disaster prone area. Future study is need to find out that the same criteria is applicable for other type of buildings and locations.
