Abstract
Indonesia is one of the very prone countries to disaster. The tsunami and earthquake disasters caused enormous damage to property and infrastructure as well as loss of life. An earthquake on September 30, 2009, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale struck the west coast of Sumatra, causing loss of life and damage to infrastructure. There were around 1,115 people killed, 1,214 seriously injured and 1,688 people lightly injured. A comprehensive study of natural disaster management activities or systems should be used as learning materials to form a disaster management system. Disaster preparedness by minimizing vulnerability has been identified as a better approach to dealing with disasters than post-disaster response. Creating a culture of prevention is critical to dealing with everyday hazards and the consequences of disasters. The study is using data from a natural disaster in west Sumatra, and data from people who were involved in the process of reconstruction post disasters in west Sumatra. This study aims to obtain an accurate description of the reconstruction post-disaster and relation with responsive gender activities in West Sumatra, and identify how the gender effect on reconstruction post-disaster in the West Sumatra region.
Highlights
Post-disaster reconstruction activities without referring to gender aspects often make it difficult for women and children to continue their post-disaster life
In the context of disaster management in West Sumatra, gender considerations have received sufficient attention and are considered important to be integrated into the post-rehabilitation and disaster processes
This study aims to get an accurate picture of the gender position of post-disaster house reconstruction activities in West Sumatra
Summary
Post-disaster reconstruction activities without referring to gender aspects often make it difficult for women and children to continue their post-disaster life. The distribution of disaster aid has not paid attention to the special needs of this group of women and children [1]. Gender-disaggregated data are not always available, gender analysis is not always applied in needs assessments for disaster response; assistance designs that do not always address the specific needs of each community group, aid distribution processes that do not involve/pay attention to the special conditions of women, children and vulnerable groups, temporary shelter designs that do not meet eligibility standards and the potential for increased violence against women, cases
