RESETTLEMENT POLICY ANALYSIS ON NATURAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN LAMPUNG SELATAN

Abstract

This article analyzes the implementation of the resettlement policy for the victims of the tsunami in South Lampung which occurred in December 2018. Using the socio-legal approach, the results of the research show that according to the Disaster Management Law it is stated that disaster management includes four stages, namely: establishment of development policies at risk of disasters, disaster prevention activities, emergency response, and rehabilitation. The first two stages are made before a disaster (pre-disaster), emergency response is carried out when a disaster occurs, and rehabilitation is carried out after a disaster. In the context of the tsunami disaster in South Lampung in 2018, one of the post-disaster policies carried out was resettlement. This policy was carried out based on the Regent’s Decree No. B/613.1/VI.02/HK/2019. In this decision, it was determined that this resettlement policy was carried out in 4 predetermined sub-districts, namely Rajabasa District, Kalianda District, Sidomulyo District and Katibung District. In its implementation, this policy has an impact on several aspects of community life that are displaced, such as in social and economic aspects.
