Research into post natural disaster responses
Introduction
On Boxing Day 2004 Banda Aceh was devastated by a major tsunami. Ever since that disasterous day, the local population has been working on its recovery, helped by many national and international Non Governmental Organizations. Urban Emergencies wants to find out how the transition between immediate relief responses and longer term redevelopment initiatives is working out spatially.
current status: research post production
We are currently at the TU Delft, processing the urbanism data and insights gathered on location in Indonesian city of Banda Aceh, working towards the Urban Emergencies book publication.
We arrived in Banda Aceh March 2nd 2009, and have returned to Delft on May 23rd 2009. The outcome of our research has been presented to the public via an exhibition at TU Delft, that opened June 30th 2009, and the symposium held July 2nd 2009 at the same location.

He guys think you have a virus, or are you highly involved with the cigarette industry over there?
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, great map: very big? How are you going to map the area? In depth in a particular areas or more general of the whole city?
Cheers
Spam is an unfortunate phenomenon, too bad people don't spend their time on more sensible things.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the map: the red colored structures are a combination of all the different functional layers. In the coming weeks we will split the layers up, to be able to visualize the separate urban networks of Banda Aceh as a whole.
Please do note that outside of this mapped area the city is surrounded by other neighborhoods, all part of Aceh Besar (Greater Aceh).
Hi Indonesia group, the map is indeed a great base map to work with. I suggest you to work in layers. See if you can compliment the static 'before/after' images with the complex, dynamic and often hidden information find through mapping movement patterns that each state generated. Physical objects (be they buildings, monuments, mosques, etc) and infrastructures are only relevant to the extent they influence livelihoods, as such it should be interesting to see the before and after of the spatial dispersion of inhabitants. Remember, urban dwellers are first and foremost 'spatial dwellers' and through their movement and engagement the 'collective memory' of the city is inscribed. Exploring how impeded movements, and as a result engagement in the city gradually re-forms this collective memory can be a interesting exercise. looking forward to seeing the progression. Best, Alexander
