2nd International Conference
On The Development of Aceh:
From a Bitter Past, Towards a Better Prospect

Background
In 26 December 2004, one of the largest catasthrope of this
recent century was occurred in Aceh, an enermous earthquake driven
tsunami. Now, in the aftermath of tsunami disaster, the Acehnese
heading with the problem of how to change the Aceh’s situations, from a
bitter past to the better prospect. That’s what Acehnese people thought
after the tsunami devastated their productive coastal land three years
ago. It was not only impact for hundred thousands of Acehnese became
victims and the destruction of the region but also paralyzed economical
structure of Aceh for several times. But life must go on even the tears of
Acehnese people who lost their family in natural disaster has never dry
to drop. Universitas Malikussaleh academia would like to represent
abstractly the developmental works after this largest recent century
catasthrope through its international conference.
The conference will investigate under what circumstances that the
development of Aceh will be at least means to be an act of improving
by expanding or enlarging or refining situation and the state of
‘developed’ from a prevailing condition of ‘underdeveloped’. This
conference will elaborate the development in Aceh be as a process in
which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a
more advanced or mature stage); The act of making some area of land
3
or water more profitable or productive or useful; A state in which things
are improving; etc.
The 26th December 2004 tsunami and earthquake with 8,9 Richter
scale in Aceh and Nias island, North Sumatra, have caused a massive
disruption to the productive infrastructure; has destroyed or damaged a
large proportion of the population in coastal areas; seriously obliterated
the local administration and public services; as devastated the
livelihoods of thousands of people dependant on home based
enterprises in rural and urban areas, severely traumatised the survivors.
Mortality is confirmed at in excess of 450,000 and many hundred
thousand more dead victims are missing or being pitfallen under the
debris. According to the assessments by local authorities, NGOs and UN
agencies concluded that 603,518 people have been displaced, variously
dispersed in shelter camps or living with host families and as many as
800,000 people have lost their livelihoods.
Particular attention will be paid to the context in which
recontruction and rehabilitation that urgently needed by Aceh, both
infrastructure and economical sector. It is a very big and heavy
challenge for the Acehnese to face a problem of how to transform Aceh.
Aceh transformation is not only reconstructing the economical and
infrastructure but also rebuilding social life of Acehnese people. After
the natural disaster tsunami, people of the region not only lost their
family, but lost their life either. It’s been three years and the
reconstruction for the transformation still going on and yet, there are so
much things have to do to make the so-called “perfect plan for Aceh”
work out. The primary task of transformation projects should be further
intensification of reconstructing of education, infrastructure, health,
social, cultural, and economic development of Acehnese people.
