| Summary: | An important issue in constructing t-shelter is on how it can be finished in
relatively short time. This is crucial due to the very saddening victims� condition
at the evacuation barrack, and the fact that it needs long time for rehabilitation and
reconstruction process. This research aims in: (1) exploring the planning and
implementation process of the post-Merapi disaster t-shelter in Sleman regency,
and (2) identifying some factors determining the process of planning for and
implementation of the post- Merapi disaster t-shelter in Sleman regency.
This research used deductive method with qualitative-explorative
approach to produce descriptive data on the construction process of t-shelter post-
Merapi disaster in Sleman regency. Data were collected using interviews,
observations, and document analysis. The unit under investigation was the
communal life of temporary housing organized by government and nongovernment
(ACT) with Kuwang t-shelter as the focus of the study.
The study showed that government and ACT had different approaches in
building t-shelter. The planning for t-shelter area set by D. I. Yogyakarta
government was comprehensive and involved the general public. Meanwhile, the
planning set by ACT was more likely to be strategic since t-shelter was
considered answer to fulfill a comfortable housing need of disaster victims. The tshelter
built by ACT could become a part of solution to meet the need of housing
at the stage of emergency assistance before the government t-shelter could be
inhabited. The implementation of the t-shelter project could generally be
conducted through three stages: area maturation, temporary housing building
construction activities, and equipping public facilities. The construction project
conducted by ACT was completed earlier than that done by the government.
Some factors contributing to the planning process for the t-shelter were also
found: the target of the t-shelter construction, data collection, site determination,
general public�s participation and readiness. Meanwhile, some factors determining
the implementation process were participation in funding, site condition, the
availability of the basic commodity, and the methods of the project
implementation.
