Abstract

Development after the 2004 tsunami in Aceh province included the relocation of housing to disaster-safe areas, and the community can continue their lives, especially in the northern and western coastal regions of Aceh. A few years after the tsunami that damaged the beach, there was a change in the physiography of the coast (growing land), so that people returned to their original activities. This paper aims to describe the changes in the management of the area and patterns of community living that adapt to changes in coastal physiography in a sustainable manner. This discussion is essential, related to the new knowledge needed as a reference for post-disaster settlement development so that the synergy between national policies and local wisdom. The Approach of the studies is interpretative phenomenological research with case studies in Gampong Saney, Lhoong sub-district, Aceh Besar District. The research method is in the form of qualitative inquiry by describing the symptoms of residence (location of housing, place of livelihood activities) and interpreting it on aspects of community life, the natural environment, and regional development factors. The results showed that relocation housing was located on a dynamic, ecologically developed hill. Regional infrastructure development has a perspective on local disaster and wisdom. Society is more sensitive to natural changes and seeks to empower. The old life is slowly reawakening to adjust to the current conditions. The observation concludes that there is a change in the pattern of settlement space, which is oriented back to the sea, and economic activity becomes more diverse between land and sea. Disasters that change the coast’s physiographic have increased the diversity of natural resources and made more effectiveness to village spatial arrangements that improve the sustainability system of community life.
