The rehabilitation and reconstruction was carried out by relocating victims of the affected area into safer zones in the Rekompak project scheme (REhabilitasi dan ReKOnstruksi Masyarakat dan Permukiman berbasis Komunitas, Community-Based Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Society and Settlement). Since the project was ended in 2014, several issues related to resettlement s sustainability might arise. Therefore, this research aims at assessing the present condition of the new resettlement including infrastructures and facilities after the end of the project and at analyzing the inhabitants perception of the resettlement existing condition. We analysed the results of 46 questionnaires and conducted key informants interviews in two sub-villages (Kuwang and Plosokerep). The study shows that there is no significant modification on infrastructures and facilities, most of the inhabitants consent the current condition, yet some of them upgrade the quality of their residents. 2016 The The Authors.

Introduction Merapi volcano is one of the most active volcanoes worldwide, with more than 70 eruptions since 1548 (Voight et al., 2000). The volcano is located 30 km north of the inner city of Yogyakarta (Fig. 1). There are at least 9.6% of the world population who are living in volcanic hazard prone areas and most of the areas are placed in developing countries (Tilling, 2008). * Corresponding author.

362 Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 227 ( 2016 ) 361 369 Until 2010, there are more than 1.3 million of inhabitants living in the area with radius of 20 km from the summit (Mei, et al., 2013). In the latest eruption on 2010, the pyroclastic flows had caused damages on more than 2,200 houses either severely, medium or light damaged (Jenkins, et al., 2013). Since the 2010 eruption, changes in the extent of volcanic disaster-prone areas (KRB) was conducted by the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (CVGHM), especially KRB III (the most risky area and may not be used as residential areas) along the Gendol River on the southern slope of Merapi Volcano (Figure 1). As a result, more than 2,200 families had to be moved from their previous houses. This resettlement is organized in rehabilitation and reconstruction phases. Fig. 1. Changes in Disaster-Prone Areas (a) before and (b) after the eruption in 2010 Referring to the Regulation of Head of Indonesian National Disaster Agency (BNPB) number 5 in the year 2011 on the Action Plan of Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Post-Disaster Merapi eruption in 2010, the rehabilitation and reconstruction of settlements carried out by relocating residents of KRB III to safer areas. Rehabilitation and reconstruction in Merapi was implemented through schemes REKOMPAK. A total of 2,516 residential fixed housing (Hunian tetap or Huntap in Indonesian) units have been constructed in different locations around Merapi area. With the end of the program, in the end of 2014, there are several raised questions about livelihood of the people who relocated to Huntap.

Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 227 ( 2016 ) 361 369 363 Fig. 2.Spatial distribution of resettlement. Plosokerep resettlement accommodates ex-resident of Pangukrejo village and Kuwang resettlement hosts ex-inhabitants of Bakalan and Bronggang villages. The environmental condition has changed from its previous setting (in a rural situation with houses built on a large area and with modest facilities and infrastructure) into the latest one (resettlement houses with limited space but more complete facilities and infrastructure in accordance with the standard settlements like settlements in urban areas). Therefore, this research aims at assessing the present condition of the new resettlement including infrastructures and facilities after the end of the project and at analyzing the inhabitants perception of the resettlement existing condition as well as their participation in improving the condition of the new resettlement. 1.1. Merapi Volcano With more than 1 million people living around Merapi Volcano and its high population growth rate (1.02% in Yogyakarta Special Province) (Mei, 2013), the probability of volcanic risk in Merapi s flanks is quite high. In addition, the collapses of the old lava dome Geger Boyo (which is a topographic barrier in the south-southeast part of the volcano) in 2006 resulted in pyroclastic flow paths which become more open to the south (Melchior, 2010) - to the sub urban areas of Yogyakarta City. The problem becomes more complicated because of the development trend of Yogyakarta is getting to the north (Sleman District or approaching Merapi). It means that the

364 Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 227 ( 2016 ) 361 369 volcanic risk is increasing and number of potential problems may arise. Among many volcanic hazards (tephra fall, lahar flow, etc.), pyroclastic flow seems one of the deadliest one since its temperature may reach up to more 200ºC and very small number of survivor due to this volcanic hazard. According to Baxter et al. (1998), there are two effective solutions that can be done in the areas prone to pyroclastic flows: (i) through land use planning (prohibiting development in the high risk area), and (ii) move the population either permanently (relocation or resettlement) or temporarily (evacuation). 1.2. Post disaster resettlement The history of resettlement occurred along with the development of mankind. However, resettlement began to be discussed since the era of agricultural economy (Shi, 2008). There are at least six major factors influencing the occurrence of resettlement according to Shi (2008): political and religious, economic benefit, eco-environment, engineering construction, warfare and natural disasters. According to Shaw et al. (2010), there are two types of post-disaster housing namely (i) construction in the affected area, and (ii) provision of new houses outside the affected areas. The first type is often considered to be easier (to be in its original location, the adaptation of the population is easier, community networks remain intact), while the second type is taken to avoid the threat of disaster in the future by moving to a safer areas (Cernea, 1999). The second type is considered as the complicated option to restore livelihoods after a disaster (Davis, 1978; Oliver-Smith, 1991; Quarantelli, 1984). However, Nolan (1979) in Dibben and Chester (1999) revealed that this kind of relocation can be successfully implemented if the population is included in the process. Relocation is a very complex process, not just necessarily move people, but also all aspects related thereto, structural, social, economic as well as political aspects and livelihoods (Aysan, et al., 1987; Cernea, 1999). To be able to rebuild the communities in the new relocation, it takes quite a long time. This is sometimes not in accordance with the expectations of people who want to get back to normal as soon as possible to their living before the disaster (Davis, 1978). Some of the constraints sometimes lead the recovery process after a disaster is not as expected (Oliver-Smith, 1991). Post disaster resettlement has been carried out in various parts of the world, for example the relocation after the eruption of 1941 Paricutin Volcano, Mexico (Nolan, 1979), after the eruption of 1990 Pinatubo Volcano, the Philippines (Gaillard, 2008), after the 2007 flood disaster in the Zambezi Delta, Mozambique (Artur, et al., 2014), and after the flood of 2011 in the Lockyer Valley, Queensland, Australia (Okada, et al., 2014). 2. Methods 2.1. Research location The research location is in the Huntap Plosokerep and Huntap Kuwang (Figure 2). Placed in the southern part of Merapi Volcano, both permanent housings are located not far from Gendol River, each about 4 km and 2 km from the river. Each location has its specific characteristic towards the 2010 Merapi eruption. Huntap Kuwang is located in Argomulyo Municipality, Cangkringan Sub-district. It is inhabited by villagers from Bakalan and Bronggang Suruh villages. Before the 2010 eruption, both villages (Bakalan and Bronggang) were not included in KRB III and it had never been damaged by volcanic disaster (pyroclastic flows) based on residents collective memory. However, since the 2010 eruption was bigger than predicted, houses in Bakalan and Bronggang Suruh villages were destroyed by pyroclastic flows. Huntap Plosokerep is located in Umbulharjo Municipality, Cangkringan Subdistrict. This resettlement is designated for inhabitants of Pangukrejo village (before the 2010 eruption, the Pangukrejo village is already located in KRB III). During the 2010 eruption, houses in Pangukrejo were also destroyed by pyroclastic flows. However, people in Pangukrejo village are already accustomed to volcanic environment and its hazards. 2.2. Data acquisition

Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 227 ( 2016 ) 361 369 365 There are three types of data acquisition used for this study: Field observation The field observation is carried out to determine the existing condition of permanent housing, its facilities and infrastructures. Questionnaire-based interview This technique was used to collect the population s perception towards the existing condition of permanent housing, its facilities and infrastructures. In addition, this method is also used to identify public participation in improving the quality of houses and its facilities and infrastructure. For this purpose, we interview the head of each household (n = 46). In-depth interview This method was performed with the involvement of key informants including head of village of Kuwang and Plosokerep to identify the related issues on resettlement. Secondary data collection This technique was done by collecting secondary data from various institutions, such as Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and Rekompak. In addition, various bibliographies including previous researches on post-disaster resettlement were used in this study. 2.3. Data analysis Data and information gathered from the field observations, questionnaire-based interviews, in-depth interviews and bibliographical study were analyzed descriptively to identify (i) the existing condition of housing and its infrastructures and facilities, (ii) the inhabitants perception towards the existing condition of their settlement; and (iii) the community participation in upgrading the condition of their settlement. 3. Result and Discussions Before settle in Huntap, all the victims of the 2010 Merapi eruption were accommodated in several internally displaced persons (IDP) camps around the volcano for more than five months. After that period, people were moved into temporary settlement (Hunian Sementara or Huntara in Indonesian) for more than one year. In 2012, Indonesian government under Rekompak scheme tried to upgrade the temporary settlements (Huntara) into permanent settlements (Huntap) (Figure 3). IDP(InternallyDisplacedPersons) camps HunianSementara(Temporary Housing) HunianTetap(Permanent Housing) Fig. 3. Phases of resettlement after the 2010 Merapi eruption 3.1. Existing condition of Plosokerep and Kuwang Resettlement Areas The socio characteristics of inhabitants and geographical setting of previous locations between two resettlements are dissimilar; therefore, it is interesting to analyze the differences, its causes and consequences. Huntap Kuwang Since all houses in Bakalan village are destroyed by pyroclastic flows, all inhabitants in Bakalan village decided to move collectively into Huntap Kuwang in early 2012. They return temporary to their previous village for agricultural activities (daily round trip), but there is no one choosing to stay in Bakalan. This favorable condition (people opt to stay in the Huntap) occurred because: a) the location of Huntap is near to their previous village; b) the whole community agree for relocation; c) the 2010 eruption caused a sense of traumatic because there was no volcanic disaster happened in the village before 2010, people did not aware of the volcanic hazard in their previous village; d) provision of infrastructure and facilities is adequate to the needs of inhabitants. This Huntap has a total area of 23,250 m 2 inhabited by 138 households.

366 Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 227 ( 2016 ) 361 369 Plosokerep Unlike the entire villagers from Bakalan who choose to live in Huntap Kuwang, only few inhabitants from Pangukrejo village want to be relocated to Huntap Plosokerep. Even the head of the village, heads of the sub village and some officials are still living in Pangukrejo. Those who are willing to be relocated are those living near to Gendol River. In addition, not all the family members from the relocated families are living in the Huntap Plosokerep. Several inhabitants only stay in Huntap Plosokerep during the night. During the day, they prefer to stay in their previous village since (i) they still have houses (even though it was damaged by the eruption) and (ii) they work on tourism sector in Merapi Volcano, i.e. lava tour guide, souvenir sellers, etc. 3.2. People s Perception towards The Resettlement People s perception towards the resettlement program Residents who currently occupy Huntap both in Kuwang and Plosokerep entirely agree with the resettlement program. According to the result of questionnaire, 48% of the residents in Huntap Kuwang are strongly agree with the resettlement, while the remaining 52% said they are agree. Meanwhile, only 33% of residents in Huntap Plosokerep strongly agree and 67% agree with the relocation. People in Huntap Kuwang have a better perception towards the resettlement. This is because their houses and all belongings were destroyed by the 2010 Merapi eruption. In addition, the expansion of KRB III zone into their previous village (Bakalan) after the 2010 eruption have altered their perception towards the Merapi volcanic hazards (now they understand that Bakalan village is located in the high volcanic hazard prone area). Hence, they prefer to migrate to Huntap in order to feel more safe and secure. Besides, people have a good perception of resettlement since they were involved in every process of relocation so that the entire community in Bakalan decides to move into their new housing in Huntap Kuwang. Similarly, people who already settle in Huntap Plosokerep agree with the relocation but they still conduct their daily economic activities in their previous village (Pangukrejo). Even so, some families in Pangukrejo decide not to move to Huntap Plosokerep for various reasons, i.e. they managed to rebuilt their previous houses; there is no village official living in the Huntap; they want to be closer to their workplace (most of inhabitants are tourist guide, souvenir sellers, etc.). Sufficient number of facilities and infrastructures Good social network between neighbors Comfortable environmental condition Building condition is better than previous house Size of house is sufficient Located in safe and secure area from volcanic hazards Distance from house to workplace is not too far 0.00 20.00 40.00 60.00 80.00 100.00 Plosokerep Kuwang Fig. 4. Community perception towards the existing condition of resettlement (%) In this study, we try to identify people s perception towards the existing condition of resettlement by using seven indicators: distance from house to workplace, security from volcanic hazards, size of house, building condition, environmental condition, communality/social networks between neighbors, existence of facilities and infrastructures. Based on the figure 4, in general, residents in Huntap Kuwang have a better perception and acceptance towards the existing condition of resettlement than Huntap Plosokerep in every indicator we used. a) People s perception towards the location of resettlement: distance from house to workplace, security from volcanic hazards According to the dwellers, the location both Huntap Kuwang and Plosokerep is safer from the danger of Merapi eruption than their previous village. Since the location of Huntap is rather far from Gendol River, people feel safer and more secure from the danger of pyroclastic flows and lahars.

Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 227 ( 2016 ) 361 369 367 People from Huntap Kuwang and Plosokerep are still doing daily round trip from their resettlement to their previous village since their workplaces are mostly located in their previous village (i.e. farmers, tourist guides, souvenir sellers, etc.). As the location of resettlement is not far from their previous village, people can access their habitual daily facilities or facilities located not too far from their resettlement. Children in Huntap Kuwang can attend school in the same schools before the 2010 took place. The elementary school located in Pangukrejo is closed and children from Huntap Plosokerep have to move to other school which is not located in KRB III. In addition, in Huntap Plosokerep, a kindergarten is opened to accommodate children in this area. b) People s perception towards physical condition of resettlement: size of house, building condition Each house in the resettlement has a 100m 2 area and has neither frontyard nor backyard as their previous house in the KRB III zone. However, people are content with the new house since it is equipped with good public facilities, such as public hall, communal cages for livestock, children s playroom, mosque, etc. These public facilities ease people to gather and to conduct collective social activities. The size and the number of rooms in the new hous are relatively smaller and less than their previous house in the previous village. However, people admit that the quality and physical condition of the present house are better than their previous one. It is because the government obliged the involvement of civil engineer and architects during the construction in order to attend the seismic resistant standards for house construction. However, people are also involved during the construction for example for choosing the design of house, paint, etc. Afterwards, people may also modify the interior and exterior of the house. c) People s perception towards the resettlement: environmental condition, communality between neighbors People s perception in Huntap Kuwang towards the environmental condition is good. The inhabitants of Huntap Kuwang feel comfortable with the current dwelling because of its good infrastructures and facilities as well as the social linkage between neighbors which is so favorable. The security of the resettlement is maintained collectively by youth and gentlemen of this area by doing night shift surveillance. A communality/social network between residents in Huntap Kuwang is more harmonious and solid. The physical distance between each house (closer than in the previous village) seems strengthen the relation between families. Meanwhile, people s perception in Huntap Plosokerep towards the environmental condition is lower than people s perception in Huntap Kuwang. This is because the social linkage in Plosokerep is not as tight as Kuwang since many of them, even the village officials, prefer to stay in Pangukrejo and not moving to Plosokerep. The social linkage in Huntap Plosokerep is not as harmonious as the one in Huntap Kuwang. The fact that many people living in the previous (Pangukrejo) village makes people living in huntap difficult to have a solid social-collective life. d) People s perception towards the existing infrastructures and facilities Both communities in Huntap Kuwang and Plosokerep stated that infrastructures and facilities provided in Huntap are sufficient to meet their needs for daily activities, i.e roads, irrigation, water sewage, electricity and fresh water pipe, etc. The existing housing, infrastructures and facilities in Huntap Kuwang is still in a good condition and still able to meet the needs of the community. This good condition is caused by the active participation of community in the settlement maintenance and renovation, i.e. working collectively with other inhabitants (gotong royong scheme) and giving an amount of contribution for renovation. The inadequate infrastructure is children s playroom. Despite the variety of toys provided over time, children have no longer interest on it. They tend to play in outdoor area, but the open play space is not widely adequate since they have to share with adults. People in Huntap Kuwang stated that the public spaces provided in the resettlement are very helpful to gather all the residents in order to create a warmer state of social linkage between all residents including children. However, people in Huntap Plosokerep do not feel the benefits of public spaces as people in Huntap Kuwang. It is because many of them opted to stay in their previous village (Pangukrejo). 3.3. Community Participation on Housing Quality Improvement

368 Estuning Tyas Wulan Mei et al. / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 227 ( 2016 ) 361 369 People started to move to Huntap in 2012 during the post disaster reconstruction process. For this process, government gives a land of 100 m 2 and a development fund of 30 million rupiah for each family in order to build a modest but seismic resistant structured house with size of 36 m 2. The permanent housing (Huntap) is given to each family in the form of a house with reinforced concrete structure using brick infill walls without coating, rough cement floor and a tiled roof with no ceiling. The Huntap is equipped with infrastructures such as roads, water supply, electricity, drainage, solid waste disposal as well as public facilities such as mosques, meeting hall, children s playroom and collective cages for livestock. However, in order to create a livable and more comfortable environment, it is necessary to improve the quality of housing involving the active participation of community residents themselves. Resident s participation in improving house The new house provided by Rekompak is different from the dwelling previously occupied by the inhabitants. The gap between their previous and the actual house condition has created occupants responses or adjustments to improve the physical condition of the house up to the level of their satisfaction. For example, people in Kuwang and Plosokerep adding the number of room, upgrading the toilettes, changing doors or windows, repainting house, adding ceiling, coating walls, etc. The constructions are mostly done individually by each family. According to the questionnaires result, there are 47% of respondents who upgrade their houses in Huntap Kuwang and 56% of respondents who improve their houses in Huntap Plosokerep. Most respondents want to improve their houses since they want to make it more beautiful and comfortable to stay. Economic constraint is the major reason for those who do not upgrade their houses. Community participation in upgrading the quality of infrastructure and facilities Since the infrastructures and facilities in Huntap Kuwang and Plosokerep built by Rekompak are still considered by community in a good condition, until today there is no upgrading activity on infrastructures and facilities. However, people try to collectively maintain the infrastructure, i.e. by cleaning up the water sewage/drainage, children s playroom, mosques and solid waste disposal. Related to solid waste disposal, people in Huntap Kuwang and Plosokerep had been trained by Department of Public Works on environmentally friendly waste management program called Bank Sampah. However, this program is not sustainable because of lack of community participation. Since the use of infrastructures in Huntap Kuwang is more intensive compared to Huntap Plosokerep, further infrastructure maintenance is needed in this area. However, for Huntap Plosokerep, since the settlements are not inhabited by all villagers, the existing infrastructures and facilities are no longer in a very good condition. Lack of maintenance and renovation has caused physical degradation of the buildings. 4. Conclusions The existing housing, infrastructures and facilities in Huntap Kuwang and Plosokerep are still in a goodmoderate condition. However, lack of maintenance and renovation conducted by community in Huntap Plosokerep has caused physical degradation of the buildings since only few inhabitants living in the resettlement area. People s perception toward the existing condition of the housing, infrastructures and facilities both in Huntap Kuwang and Plosokerep are good since the existing infrastructures are mostly in a good condition and until now it still meets the need of local community. Residents participation in Huntap Kuwang in improving the quality of housing, infrastructures and facilities is higher than the residents s participation in Huntap Plosokerep. We encourage further comprehensive studies on Merapi resettlement related topics, not only in Kuwang and Plosokerep areas, but in all resettlement sites in order to have a better understanding of post-volcanic disaster resettlement and to share the lessons learned in Merapi to other volcanic prone areas around the world.
