Ketersediaan Lahan Pertanian Padi Sawah Pasca Tsunami di Kabupaten Aceh Besar
ABSTRACT: Tsunami Aceh was the
most terrific disaster in 40 years. The estimation of total losses were US$ 210
million, concentrated in two main sectors: infrastructure and housing and the
productive sector. Agriculture showed the largest share of damage in productive
sector, needs more attention to be rehabilitated in order to stimulate economic
activity. This research aim to evaluate the progress of agricultural land
rehabilitation in providing land to be cultivated by the farmer. Research
conducted in Aceh Besar District by using survey methods. Research results
showed that 77% of total farmland damaged due to tsunami, but the availability
of lowland paddy field after tsunami only reached 16,7% from total farmland
before tsunami. There were no significant difference between the rehabilitation
processes conducted in low and high level of damaged based on Mann Whitney
test. There was a lack of access to the farmland due to a limitation in
farmland rehabilitation. This condition will lead to the difficulties of the
community to back to their previous activity as a farmer since the majority
occupation of affected communities were in agriculture field.
