Heritage Update
February 2007
Following the Aceh Heritage Post-Tsunami
Alert launched on the Lestari Heritage Network website, the
Aceh Heritage Community
Foundation was formed by Yenny Rahmayati. Lestari Heritage
Network contacted the Nara Machizukuri Centre and the Seikatsu
Consumer Club, both of Japan, to support the inventory. The pilot
stage of the inventory has been completed and can be downloaded
from the Inventory of Heritage
Sites and Buildings in Aceh webpage.
The
task of Documenting The Heritage
of Aceh needs to be continued. The Aceh Heritage Community
Foundation is seeking further funding to continue this important
work and to publish the results.
Meanwhile, the Aceh Heritage Community Foundation has organised
several event. Its main project, the Renovation
of the Ex MULO School SMA Negeri 1 Banda Aceh is well under
way, with substantial sponsorship from the Swiss Solidarity Fund
('Fondation Chaine du Bonheur') and through the support of the
International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC).
 Post-Tsunami Alert
In the Indian Ocean tsunami
of 26 December 2004, coastal Aceh was the worst hit, being closest to the
quake's epicentre. Aceh suffered massive losses in terms of life and property,
infrastructure and natural environment. Entire settlements were swept away,
and a large part of the capital Banda Aceh was destroyed.
 Although the humanitarian cause
is the now the most urgent and vital, we should not forget the long-term
importance of heritage to Aceh's recovery and future development.
The heritage
of Aceh contributes to the psychological well-being, social pride
and identity of the Acehnese. Heritage plays a role in cross-cultural
exchange within Indonesia and abroad. Identification, rescue,
safeguarding and conservation efforts must begin now, during the
rebuilding process.
