Earthquake Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in West Nusa Tenggara Province

Abstract

The earthquake that occurred in 2018 in West Nusa Tenggara Province has caused great damage and losses in various important sectors including housing, infrastructure, social, economic and cross-sectors. The affected areas are North Lombok District, West Lombok District, East Lombok District, Central Lombok District, Mataram City, Sumbawa District, and West Sumbawa District. Rehabilitation and reconstruction in the context of post-disaster recovery for affected communities is a national priority programme listed in the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024. This study aims to determine how the success of the post-disaster recovery programme as measured by the Post-Disaster Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Recovery Index (IRRP) implemented by BNPB from 2018 to 2024. The research methodology uses a literature study with the scope of data acquisition through secondary data and other related sources. The results showed that by 2024 the national priority programme for earthquakes in NTB had been achieved. All areas affected by the 2018 earthquake have recovered with IRRP values according to the baseline of 100%, or more. The acceleration of recovery in each region is different depending on the situation and conditions in the affected areas. As a form of disaster risk reduction, in the future a more comprehensive policy is needed related to the implementation of post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction involving multistakeholders
