Factors Affecting Post-Disaster Housing Reconstruction on Preconstruction Stage in Pidie Jaya Regency Indonesia

Abstract

Pidie Jaya regency is one of the regencies located in Aceh Province, Indonesia. On 7 December 2016 an earthquake rocked the Pidie Jaya with a magnitude of 6.5 on the Richter scale on coordinates 5.25 ° North and 96.24 ° East latitude with an estimated in-depth of 15 km. The impact of the disaster caused a lot of damage to infrastructure, especially public housing. The Reconstruction of disaster victim housing in Pidie Jaya District uses community-based methods designed with a community organizing strategy. In the early stages of reconstruction many problems arose between the government, the management consultant, and the community beneficiaries resulting in a delay in the construction housing implementation. This period is called preconstruction, where the activities carried out focused on the preparatory activities to rebuild housing of disaster victims. Questionnaire surveys and interviews were given to stakeholders from the government, the management consultants and the community involved in housing reconstruction. Data were analyzed using statistical software. The results of this study have identified that the dominant factors influencing implementation in pre-construction are starting at the moment (1) recruitment of facilitators; (2) program training for the community; (3) formation of community organizations; (4) program socialization and coordination; (5) inventory, verification and validation of damage data; (6) design and funding. The dominant factors in the pre-construction are interrelated with each other because the problems that occur at the beginning of the pre-construction period, result in delays in the implementation of the construction of the houses. Identifying specific factors that create problems that affect the success of the project in this study is the basis for practitioners, stakeholders and the community in managing a post-disaster housing project, so that it can anticipate the occurrence of similar things in the implementation of reconstruction in the future.
