NIAS LOGISTICS CAPACITY ASSESSMENT

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

Nias was largely affected by the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26th 2004. Another earthquake on March 28th 2005 had a large affect on the island again causing widespread damage to both private property and public infrastructure and a significant number of deaths.

A series of detailed logistics assessments were carried out in Nias during early to mid 2005, but much of this information is now over 12 months old, and in need of updating. After both an initial request from BRR, and with the currency of the information in mind, the assessment team spent a week in Nias with the aim of developing an updated Logistics Capacity Assessment (LCA) of the island.

During 7 days of road and port assessments, meetings and liaising with UN agencies and Humanitarian Aid Organisations in Nias, the team has been able to bring together the information contained in this report. This information provides the basis for an accurate depiction of the challenges and problems associated with moving people, cargo and other materials by both land and sea in Nias.

During July 2006, Terry Burns together with Dylan Shaw and Arfandi Bachtiar of WFPSS produced the Nias Logistics Capacity Assessment report depicting the logistic problems associated with moving people, cargo and other materials by both land and sea in Nias. The assessment concentrated on the infrastructure components of ports, roads and bridges.

As a follow-up to that assessment, George Kuru was engaged through AIPRD to prepare a Logistics Plan for Nias Reconstruction Program to assist BRR to resolve the full gambit of logistics issues including procurement, depots, shipping and fuel, as well as infrastructure repairs and development.

Herein is Nias Logistics Capacity Assessment Follow-up report, produced by Terry Burns, that is intended as complementary information to (i) the original Nias Logistics Capacity Assessment report, and (ii) George Kuru’s Logistics Plan for Nias Reconstruction Program report

Purpose of the Handbook
This Handbook is made to provide simple information to house
owners, house designers and builders, and building monitors to
teach principles of good design and good construction in a natural
hazard prone area. Thoroughly studied, they will also guide on
whether to repair or rebuild damaged houses. The descriptions are
followed by a code of minimum standards for construction of houses
in Aceh and Nias Islands.

Since many concepts are not easy to describe, the hand- book contains
pictures to facilitate understanding.The photographs have all been
taken of construction practices in the reconstruction of Aceh and
Nias since the great Tsunami and earthquake of 26 December 2004
and the second major earthquake of 28 March 2005.Aceh, Nias and
nearby islands, and other areas along the west coast of Sumatra, are
earthquake and tsunami prone, and are also subject to flooding
due to sudden downpours of rain. The principles of this book are
designed to minimize vulnerability to these natural hazards.

In an area that is prone to earthquakes, not only principles of design
are important, but also principles of construction, since the best
designed house, which has been well covered and painted, may
hide serious structural defects in the construction. These defects
may lead to serious injury and death, and loss of property, when the
forces of nature strike the house.

Let us develop a culture of safety in all our buildings, not just doing
the minimum and the cheapest, but building houses that will
safeguard families and assets in times of emergency.To download please click title of the post or this link:

Pengembangan Aksebilitas Desa dengan Partisipasi Masyarakat

Salah satu masalah yang serius dalam pengembangan ekonomi dan rekonstruksi Nias adalah minimnya infrastruktur transportasi. Bukan hanya jalan-jalan utama di Nias yang sulit dilalui kendaraan, tetapi juga jalan-jalan desa. Kondisi transportasi yang buruk ini menyebabkan masyarakat terisolir dan sulit mengembangkan perekonomian mereka.

Setelah 3,5 tahun rehabilitasi dan rekonstruksi, capaian dalam bidang transportasi ini cukup baik. Jalan-jalan utama telah dibangun kembali menjadi jauh lebih baik dari keadaan sebelumnya. Waktu tempuh ke berbagai pusat perekonomian (Gunungsitoli, Lahewa, Sirombu dan Teluk Dalam) telah jauh berkurang......lebih dari setengah waktu tempuh sebelumnya.

Bersamaan dengan itu, jalan-jalan desa pun diperbaiki. Salah satu capaian penting dalam pengembangan aksesibilitas desa ini adalah program Pengembangan Sarana dan Prasyarana Desa (PSD) BRR Perwakilan Nias. Program PSD ini dikembangkan dengan pendekatan community-driven Approach, dimana masyarakat sendiri yang merencanakan dan melaksanakannya.
