TSUNAMI RECONSTRUCTION

In the aftermath of the 2005 tsunami that devastated northern Indonesia, planningAlliance was asked by CARE International and the Indonesian Government to prepare an integrated long-term reconstruction plan for parts of Aceh Province and Simeulue Island.

planningAlliance’s work included housing and community facilities design, redevelopment planning for existing villages, and the design of new resettlement communities. The team assessed potential resettlement areas and new town locations with the goal of constructing 1,900 permanent new homes in 12 existing communities and two new resettlement communities for displaced people.

planningAlliance worked extensively with local community members throughout the planning process – in the creation of village and town plans, location and design of community services facilities, provision of temporary shelter, selection of housing designs, and designs for rebuilding community infrastructure.
