In this fire tragedy, 54 houses burned down with losses estimated at 15 billion. Until now, efforts to revitalize a number of burned buildings have not yet been implemented. Due to the slow pace of revitalization efforts, quite a few Chinese people affected by the fire chose to build new business premises and residences. This will of course have a big impact on the development of socio-economic life as well as an impact on the tourism sector which is being worked on by the Siak Sri Indrapura Regency government. The aim of this research is to answer questions related to the revitalization of Chinatown in Siak Sri Indrapura which has never been completed.
