Resettlement in the context of disaster
management is a policy that has a broad impact on the
affected community on legal, social and economic
aspects. This article focuses on problems in
implementing the resettlement policy for victims of the
tsunami in South Lampung which occurred in December
2018. By using the socio-legal approach, the results of the
study indicate that the resettlement policy for
communities affected by the tsunami in South Lampung
was carried out based on the Regent Decree No.
B/613.1/VI.02/HK/2019. This policy was carried out as
an effort to recover from the tsunami that occurred. In
its implementation, this policy has an impact on at least
three aspects of the life of the community concerned,
namely the legal impact, social impact and economic
impact both before, during the process, and after the
construction of new housing. With regard to the legal
impact, this resettlement causes legal relationships and
issues regarding the rights and obligations of the victim
to the building and land where he lives in the
resettlement area as well as the rights and obligations of
the victim to the land and building in his former place.
On the social and economic impacts, problems arise with
regard to access to education, employment, and the
adjustment of conditions to the new environment in
which they live. Therefore, resettlement cannot only be
seen as a policy of rebuilding housing in a new place, but
resettlement must also be seen as a holistic policy that
focuses on rebuilding the livelihoods of the people
involved in it, which in this context is a solution to the
consequences, which occurs in both the legal, social, and
economic aspects of resettlement
