        "summary": "Post-disaster recovery in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra is being directed beyond physical reconstruction to include comprehensive spatial planning reforms. The approach integrates disaster risk zones into regional planning documents to ensure rebuilt areas are safer and more resilient. The Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning emphasised that spatial plans must be redesigned to incorporate disaster mitigation, acknowledging that previous plans lacked this dimension.",
        "content": "<p>Permanent post-disaster recovery in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West\nSumatra is not solely aimed at rebuilding houses, roads, bridges, and\npublic facilities affected by the disaster. More than that, recovery\nmust also ensure that affected areas are reorganised to be safer from\nfuture disaster risks. This approach is part of the Master Plan for the\nAcceleration of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Post-Disaster Sumatra\n(Renduk PRRP) 2026-2028, which places spatial planning as a crucial\nfoundation for rebuilding the affected regions. Through this approach,\nrehabilitation and reconstruction are not only seen as physical recovery\nbut also as an opportunity to improve development patterns to be more\nresilient. The Renduk PRRP directs spatial planning through the\nintegration of Disaster Risk Zones into provincial and district\/city\nspatial planning documents. This policy includes adjusting spatial\nstructures and patterns, controlling land use in high-risk areas,\nrelocating permanent housing from vulnerable locations, and\nstrengthening legal certainty over land for affected communities. The\nTask Force for the Acceleration of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction\n(Satgas PRR) for Post-Disaster Sumatra considers this approach essential\nto ensure that residents who lost their homes not only receive new\nhousing but can also live in areas that are safer, more liveable, and\nhave access to basic services. Therefore, the determination of permanent\nhousing locations must consider the level of disaster risk, watershed\nconditions, river boundaries, and conformity with Regional Spatial Plans\nand Detailed Spatial Plans. Beyond settlements, spatial reconstruction\nalso serves as the basis for rebuilding public infrastructure. Roads,\nbridges, irrigation networks, drainage, embankments, educational\nfacilities, health facilities, and public service centres need to be\nconstructed with consideration for environmental characteristics and\npotential disaster risks so they are not vulnerable to extreme weather\nevents. Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning\/Head of the\nNational Land Agency Nusron Wahid stressed the importance of a thorough\nevaluation of spatial planning in the disaster-affected areas of\nSumatra. He stated that spatial plans in the affected regions need to be\nredesigned to be more resilient to disasters. \u2018Regarding the total\nevaluation of regional spatial plans in Sumatra, especially in the three\nprovinces affected by floods. Future spatial plans must be redesigned to\nbe more resilient to disasters. Why? Because it turns out these spatial\nplans have been proven not to have a disaster mitigation dimension,\u2019\nNusron said in a written statement on Monday. Nusron added that recovery\nis not sufficient if it only involves physical reconstruction. He said\nthe reconstruction phase must be a momentum to improve spatial planning,\nincluding reviewing the function of areas that have served as water\ncatchment buffers. By strengthening risk-based spatial planning, the PRR\nTask Force ensures that rebuilding in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West\nSumatra proceeds in a more directed, safe, and sustainable manner. \u2018The\nmoment is when reconstruction has started, then we will think about not\nonly physical reconstruction but also spatial reconstruction. Besides\nphysical rehabilitation, also spatial rehabilitation,\u2019 he concluded.<\/p>",
