Spatial Planning and Disaster Mitigation in Post-Tsunami Housing Complexes: A Case Study of Baitussalam District, Aceh Besar Regency
Baitussalam District, Aceh Besar Regency is one of the areas affected by the 2004 Aceh earthquake and tsunami. After the rehabilitation and reconstruction process was completed, Baitussalam was inhabited again by residents. Many housing developers built new housing complexes in Baitussalam. This causes potential disasters that residents may face, especially if the development is not following the Spatial and Regional Plan. This research aims to determine the suitability of housing complexes plan in Baitussalam with the Aceh Besar Spatial and Regional Plan and the residents’ knowledge regarding spatial planning, tsunami mitigation and preparedness. This research used qualitative and quantitative methods, through interviews with related parties and residents of housing complexes. The results show the spatial layout of housing complexes in Baitussalam is in accordance with Aceh Besar Spatial and Regional Plan but lacks disaster mitigation facilities and infrastructure. Most respondents chose to reside in Baitussalam because housing prices were cheap and close to working place. They have a good understanding of tsunami disaster mitigation but do not know the implementation of tsunami preparedness in their neighborhood. Some respondents said Aceh Besar's spatial planning had considered the interests of community and wanted to be involved in managing and controlling its utilization.

Carry out spatial planning and achieve justice for all parties involved in the spatial planning process. The implementation of spatial planning is carried out based on spatial planning which functions as a reference for spatial utilization activities, including investment activities and issuance of business permits. The product of spatial planning is in the form of spatial plans which are divided into national spatial plans (RTRWN), national strategic area spatial plans (RTR KSN), island, regency/city regional spatial layout plans (RTRW) and detailed spatial planning plans (RDTR ). The purpose of this work is the realization of a Real-Time RDTR application that has minimal errors and the use and utilization of the Real-Time RDTR Application by spatial planning forums and stakeholders related to spatial planning, especially state apparatus in various regions. related theory, practice of using the application, question and answer and also discussion with the participants. .Training This application will help RDTRs that have regional regulations but are not yet integrated with OSS, thus helping spatial planning forums to make confirmation/approval decisions on the conformity of spatial use activities (KKPR) which are still manual, assisting the RDTR revision process and socializing this real time RDTR application so that Spatial planning forums or regional governments are not afraid to use them.

Subject of study. Due to the complexity of planning processes and the interest of various parties and entities involved in spatial development and planning procedures, there is an obvious need to create a platform for managing information on spatial development planning. The aim of the study. The purpose of this article is to analyse the driving factors behind the creation of a platform (spatial planning geoportal), which should become a solution for managing, analysing and presenting spatial data related to spatial planning. This article integrates factors from urban regulatory detailed planning, land use planning, the entire life cycle of land management and construction project approval, unifies spatial data, and builds a spatial planning driver system (SPDS) by fusing data. Research methods. To realize the platform concept, we used one of the models used in system and software engineering, known as phased implementation. The concept includes a formal description of the platform’s functionality using a unified modelling language (UML), as well as the point of view of users and stakeholders. Results of work. The functionality of the platform related to spatial planning at the local level and local spatial development is shown. The spatial planning geoportal offered in this article is in line with the spatial planning reform and is intended to help in the implementation of spatial policy at both local and national levels. Based on the results of geographically weighted regression (GWR) analysis for sites with under- or overdeveloped urban planning status, the spatial relationship between them and sites with low levels of development is analysed after taking into account the driving factors to identify the impact of the driving factors on urban spatial planning and development. All of this provides new ideas and new methods to help the government plan, control and manage urban development, and can contribute to improving the efficiency and quality of the spatial planning system in Ukraine, as well as in other areas such as local government management and regional planning.

The paper analyses the planning framework for sustainable territorial and regional development. The spatial and environmental planning should play the key role in coordination and integration of different planning grounds in achieving the sustainable regional development. The paper discusses the spatial planning capacity to offer the integral view of the sustainable territorial development. The brief review of tendencies in new spatial planning and regional policy has been given. The focus is on the concept of balanced polycentric development of European Union. The guiding principles of spatial planning in regard of planning system reform in European countries have been pointed out. The changes in paradigm of regional policy, and the tasks of European regional spatial planning have been discussed. In Serbia problems occur in regard with the lack of coordinating sectoral planning with spatial and environmental planning. Partly the problem lies in the legal grounds, namely in non codification of laws and unregulated horizontal and vertical coordination at all levels of governance. The possibilities for the implementation of spatial planning principles and concepts of European Union sustainable territorial and regional development have been analyzed on the case of three regional spatial plans of eastern and southeastern regions in Serbia. The disadvantages in implementing the strategic environmental impact assessment as an instrument for coordination and integration of sectorial planning with spatial and environmental planning have been analyzed. The strategic environmental impact assessment has been implemented only in the spatial planning process. Through spatial planning process its feedback effect on sectorial planning has been indirectly achieved. The priority actions in Serbia for achieving the spatial and environmental planning role in coordination and integration of different planning grounds in sustainable regional development have been given.

In 2008, a new principle of spatial planning was added to the German Federal Spatial Planning Act. It demands critical infrastructure protection (CIP) be taken into account in all spatial planning activities. Since the term 'critical infrastructure' is quite young, this problem has not yet been explicitly treated in spatial planning activities. This paper presents results from a qualitative analysis of available regional spatial structure plans and from a survey of all regional spatial planning authorities in Germany. It shows that regional spatial planning has marginally dealt with CIP related questions like infrastructure reliability and spatial exposure in the past. However, the CIP concept, in addition to regional spatial planning methods and procedures, needs comprehensive efforts to approach and synchronise both public functions.

Regional Spatial Planning (RTRW) serves as a guideline for policy development, including long-term regional development plans, medium-term regional development plans, industrial development plans, and investment implementation in the region Law Number 15 of 2019. The establishment of the RTRW in the form of regional regulations (PERDA) provides a strong legal basis for regional governments to direct development, maintain environmental sustainability, prevent conflicts due to overlapping land use, and support sustainable economic growth without neglecting ecological aspects, as well as creating a balance between development and environmental preservation. In an effort to achieve the goals of the state, national development is carried out by all components of the nation and in its implementation there have been two changes to the spatial planning policy of Jambi province since the enactment of Jambi provincial regulation number 9 of 1993The Jambi Province spatial planning plan is no longer in line with regional, economic, political, and environmental developments, resulting in a decline in the quality of space in the Jambi Province region. The research method used is normative juridical, namely a study that focuses on legal norms, legal principles, and legal systems related to the issues discussed. The research findings show that changes in the spatial planning of mining areas in Jambi Province are the result of a complex interaction between internal and external factors, including economic, policy, environmental, social, and the dynamics of national spatial planning law. Internal factors such as the potential for large coal resources, limited logistics infrastructure, and the need for mining infrastructure development have driven changes in the spatial structure and spatial patterns of the region. Furthermore, enforcing compliance with spatial planning is key to directing mining activities to comply with sustainability principles and applicable laws.

This article provides a synoptic overview of the German spatial planning system. The spatial planning system in federal Germany is differentiated along vertical, horizontal and sectoral lines. Planning authorities in Germany operate at four levels: federal spatial planning, state spatial planning, regional planning and local authority planning. The article first presents the legal and institutional framework of spatial planning, looks at the various plans and procedures and names the main instruments for putting spatial planning into effect. The view is then directed at the local authority level. The legal framework for urban development is addressed alongside formal and informal urban development instruments. Climate protection and energy efficiency are then touched upon as recent challenges in spatial and urban planning. Finally, the regulatory capabilities of spatial planning and urban development are illustrated by the examples of wind power and refugees.

Globally, regional planning is widely used in different scales of national, regional, metropolitan and economic spatial planning and is increasingly seen as essential for supporting the economic development and competitiveness of nations in an era of globalisation. This study focuses on regional planning in South Africa since democracy and assesses the extent to which it has succeeded in meeting the challenges of economic growth and sustainable development. Whilst the South African space economy is considered to be relatively diverse, long term structural weaknesses persist. Poverty, inequality and unemployment continue to be serious challenges for the country and spatial planners, despite major expenditure on socio-economic infrastructure by the state since 1994 to close the generation gap between the apartheid and post-apartheid period. The study analyses regional planning as mandated by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and the role of the local state in planning to meet these challenges. In order to do this, it is necessary to identify how regional planning is understood and acted upon by government, business and stakeholders, so as to support growth and competitiveness of the regional economy and assist in national policy deployment at local level. In this context, the relationship between planning, public management and policy deployment to improve policy coherence and policy outcomes and impacts at a local level, is explored. A significant aspect of spatial planning is the state’s relationship to the Production of Space as articulated by Lefebvre. This aspect is explored by analysing the changes in spatial planning policy in South Africa since 1994 and the global economic context. The researcher argues that the current spatial planning architecture is compliance and process driven, resulting in limited ability to engage with economic competitiveness and emerging new capital formations. The research investigates regional planning in South Africa, using the case of the iLembe District Municipality in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal. This site has been chosen as it is representative of many district and local municipalities in South Africa. iLembe is a fast-growing region, yet faces serious socio-economic challenges, including infrastructure delivery, poverty, inequality and unemployment, especially in rural small towns and incorporating the former apartheid Homeland, the Ingonyama Trust area. This is explored using the lens of social constructivism and synthetic theory, using Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis. This is a qualitative study and includes face-to-face interviews using an open-ended interview schedule administered by the researcher and documentary analysis of the current practices of planning and associated policies as the key research instruments. The contribution of this study is to propose a place-based framework for regional planning in South Africa that will contribute to national and provincial policy and resource deployment at a local scale towards achieving sustainable growth and development. This could allow regions to gain competitive advantage through collaboration of planning authorities and stakeholders, leading to better planning outcomes and assisting in closing the generation gap in the space economy. Arising out of the research findings, recommendations are made for institutional reform and a place-based planning framework for district level planning.

Landslides are natural disasters that can be caused by high rainfall intensity. Aceh Besar Regency has been hit by landslides 40 times from 2014 to 2023. Aceh Besar Regency serves as an economic connecting route from other cities to the provincial capital of Aceh, Banda Aceh. Therefore, when landslides occur in that area, it will disrupt the economic stability and logistic distribution to other regions. The weighted overlay method maps landslide-prone areas in Aceh Besar Regency. This research aims to create a map of landslide-prone areas in Aceh Besar Regency based on parameters causing landslides, namely slope inclination, rainfall, rock type, soil type, and land cover. The research findings indicate that almost the entire region of Aceh Besar has a moderate to high potential for landslide disasters. The main factor causing landslides in Aceh Besar is its topography, which is dominated by mountains and hills, and the moderate to very high rainfall intensity. The landslide-prone disaster map is validated by landslide incidents recorded by BPBD Aceh Besar from 2014 to 2023, showing results that align with the historical data. This map can be used by relevant authorities and the general public to undertake landslide disaster mitigation in Aceh Besar Regency.

Currently, there are reasons for taking logistics up in spatial planning, including the large land consumption of logistics facilities and the urgent implementation of a sustainable transport system. One planning option is to secure suitable land for logistics facilities in formal spatial development plans. To date, only a limited number of studies have been carried out on this specific implementation. This paper uses 17 regional plans as examples to examine the planning instruments and planning focus with which this task is currently being implemented in German regional plans. The analysis of the regional plans at hand shows that half of the regional plans use planning instruments to address logistics facilities. In some regional plans, only defined logistics segments are addressed in planning, e.g. the establishment of port-related industries in the proximity of ports. To term land for logistics infrastructure like ports and inland terminals on the other hand, is much more established and is included in almost all plans. Taking up planning for locations of logistics facilities in regional plans takes place when logistics is defined as an economic focus, logistics is considered relevant for the functioning of the regional economy or planning locations for logistics facilities are required by state planning regulations.

Nusa Tourism Village is a unique tourist village because this tourist village originates from the experience of the tsunami natural disaster. So that tourism practice is not only based on attractions and consumption but also contains tsunami disaster mitigation values. This research aims to analyze the integration of tourism and tsunami disaster mitigation in Gampong Nusa, Aceh Besar. The research location was carried out in the Nusa Tourism Village, Lhoknga District, Aceh Besar Regency. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. The research results show that there are three tourism programs that contain tsunami disaster mitigation values, namely homestays, handicrafts, and hiking, which not only provide tourism experiences but also provide education about disaster preparation and mitigation. Through folklore, personal experiences, and evacuation locations, this program combines cultural aspects, practical experiences, and learning in disaster mitigation. The concept of Community-Based Tourism (CBT) in Gampong Nusa not only emerged as a tourism strategy but also as a form of community solidarity in rebuilding villages after the tsunami disaster. The proposed new theory, namely the "integration model," highlights the active involvement of the community in supporting tourism and disaster mitigation programs, even without being directly involved in the formal tourism system.

This research aims to describe policy implementation and explain the factors that influence the implementation of spatial planning policies to maintain protected rice fields based on regional regulation Number 6 of 2022 concerning Malang City's regional spatial planning plans for 2022-2042. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with an inductive approach. The theory used in the policy implementation theory put forward by George C. Edwards III with indicators of communication, resources, disposition and bureaucratic structure. Data collection techniques are interviews, observation and documentation. Data analysis techniques are used through data collection, data condensation, data presentation, drawing conclusions, and verification. The research results show that based on the implementation of spatial planning policies to maintain protected rice fields in Malang City, spatial planning activities were carried out without community participation. Spatial planning regulations to maintain protected rice fields are outside the vision and mission of Malang City. Space utilization is carried out through provisions on the suitability of space utilization activities, indications of leading programs, and synchronized implementation of space utilization programs. Meanwhile, control of space utilization is carried out through supervision, monitoring and administration of administrative sanctions. Supporting factors consist of clarity of regulations, adequate resources, a positive attitude of implementers, and clarity of division of authority. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include socialization not progressing, regulatory inconsistencies, clarity of budget allocation, implementing incentives and non-existent SOPs. Apart from that, there are external inhibiting factors, namely the high selling price of land and other livelihoods. In the future, the Regional Government of Malang City needs to make special regulations that regulate the details of protected ...

Aceh Besar Regency is the primary access and entrance gate to the provincial capital, directly adjacent to the city of Banda Aceh. This proximity positions Aceh Besar as a buffer from the city. The strategic location and position make Aceh Besar an opportune area for rapid growth and development. Thus, developing these strategic areas will foster the emergence of growth centers (Growth Poles). This research aims to determine and analyze the impact of the spread effect on the public market between Aceh Besar Regency and Banda Aceh City as a potential sector that can encourage economic growth and have a spreading effect on the surrounding area. The analysis method employed in this research is a quantitative approach utilizing descriptive analysis. The results of the research show that the results of the gravity analysis of sub-districts in Aceh Besar Regency and Banda Aceh City show that Want Jaya Sub-district as the primary growth center has the greatest interaction value with Darul Imarah Sub-district. The last sub-district is one of the sub-districts in Aceh Besar Regency with an interaction value of 76,525,776,000. Furthermore, the largest interaction values after Darul Imarah District are Krueng Barona Jaya District and Montasik District with interaction values of 15,062,514,047 and 11,831,506,347 respectively.

Learning about animal diversity, including insects (arthropods) requires appropriate learning media so that students can be taught to carry out simple identification and determination, especially in class X MAS Darul Hikmah Aceh Besar. This research aims to determine the diversity of insects in the rice fields of Gampong Limpok, Darussalam District, Aceh Besar Regency, determine the results of product feasibility tests resulting from research and the response of class X MAS Darul Hikmah Aceh Besar students to the media that has been produced. The method used in this research is an exploratory survey. Sampling was carried out purportively for insects found at each observation station. Calculating the level of insect diversity uses the Shannon-Weiner index (Ĥ). The parameters in this research include the number of species, number of individuals, level of diversity, environmental physicochemical factors, feasibility tests and student responses. The results of the research show that the level of insect diversity in the rice fields of Gampong Limpok, Darussalam District, Aceh Besar Regency is classified as moderate, namely Ĥ = 1.73, which is in the medium category. The total number of individuals of diurnal insect species in the Gampong Limpok rice fields is 479 individuals, 15 species from 6 orders. The material feasibility test obtained a percentage of 68.85% in the feasible category and the media feasibility obtained a percentage of 76.36% in the appropriate category. The results of student responses obtained a percentage of 95.37% with a very positive category. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the diversity of insects in the rice fields of Gampong Limpok, Darussalam District, Aceh Besar Regency is classified as moderate, the suitability of the material and media is classified as adequate and the student responses obtained are very positive.
