JAKARTA - The West Bandung Regency Government (Pemkab) in West Java (Jabar), has started to conduct an initial data collection, as well as preparing the basis for determining new safe housing as part of the relocation process for residents affected by the landslide disaster in Pasirlangu Village, Cisarua District.
The Regent of West Bandung Jeje Ritchie Ismail said that the data collection was carried out in detail by sorting houses by house based on affected, threatened, and safe zones, especially for those whose houses were lost or entered the red zone of disaster risk.
"We are conducting data collection in the area based on red zones and yellow zones. Today, some residents have been allowed to return home and we will conduct a re-data collection," said Jeje Regent in Bandung, Friday, quoted by Antara.
He explained that the relocation process would be accompanied by the provision of temporary housing (huntara) for residents whose houses were not allowed to be occupied again due to being directly affected by the disaster.
For the plan to provide permanent housing (huntap), the West Bandung Regency Government is currently checking the village land that has the potential to be used as a relocation site for affected residents.
Meanwhile, the Regional Secretary (Sekda) of West Bandung Regency Ade Zakir said that the local government had received preliminary data related to the zoning of residents' houses that were categorized as affected, threatened, and safe.
"So, yesterday we got data on the zoning of people's houses that were affected, threatened, and safe. Currently we are sorting out the houses house by house. For those outside the zone, we also urge them to return to their respective homes," he said.
However, he admitted that the local government still faced a number of administrative obstacles in the relocation determination process, including the calculation and determination of the red zone which is still in the internal evaluation stage.
He emphasized that careful and accurate data collection was crucial so that the relocation process was truly targeted and did not put residents at risk of similar disasters in the future.
On the same occasion, the West Bandung Regency Government also initiated the construction of boreholes around six points needed by residents as a step to overcome the disruption of clean water supply that is still experienced by some refugees who have returned to their homes.
