Abstract

The 2004 Aceh tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in modern history, creating extreme environmental conditions that were predicted to trigger major disease outbreaks. However, despite concerns from the World Health Organization (WHO) about waterborne and infectious diseases, no widespread epidemic occurred. This study explores the community-driven health strategies that contributed to disease prevention in the aftermath of the disaster. Using a qualitative exploratory approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with community members and local leaders across three sub-districts in Banda Aceh, each representing different levels of tsunami impact. Findings reveal that traditional knowledge, religious practices, and collective community actions played a crucial role in maintaining health and sanitation under crisis conditions. Behavioral adaptations included prioritizing clean water sources, boiling drinking water, filtering water through cloth, maintaining food hygiene, ensuring adequate nutrition, and emphasizing personal hygiene and sanitation. The study also highlights barriers to healthcare access, including infrastructure damage, medical staff shortages, and psychological distress, which affected post-disaster health-seeking behaviors. Despite these challenges, community resilience and social cohesion were instrumental in mitigating public health risks. The findings suggest that integrating local knowledge, religious teachings, and structured public health interventions can enhance disaster preparedness and disease prevention strategies in future crises. These insights provide valuable lessons for policymakers, humanitarian agencies, and public health professionals in designing culturally adaptive and community-based health resilience programs for post-disaster environments.

Abstract

Cultural understanding between 2 countries will be able to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between 2 related countries, Indonesia and Malaysia. This community service aims to increase the role of the community in cultural understanding between 2 related countries. This International Community Service Lecture (KPM) was held for 14 days in four villages in Negeri Kedah, Malaysia: Taman Permatang Katong, Keda Tepi Sungai Village, Kampung Kuala Dulang Kecil, and Taman Permai Utama. With several activities carried out including; psychoeducation for the elderly, teenagers and children, mutual cooperation and joint activities between KPM International participants and communities in 4 villages. The main findings identified the role of the community in cultural understanding, there are three key elements, namely: (1) preservation and application of local traditions in welcoming newcomers, (2) active involvement of community leaders in facilitating integration, and (3) consistent culture of hospitality. Consistency in honoring guests, including the welcoming tradition to leaving, has a significant impact on the positive experiences of participants and the effectiveness of the program. Challenges such as language and cultural differences can be overcome through creativity and openness. This community service concludes that the strength of the community and local wisdom, especially in the tradition of honoring guests, is key in creating a sense of togetherness and facilitating effective integration in understanding the cultures of the people of the 2 countries. These findings provide important insights for designing future community service programs, highlighting the importance of collaboration with local communities and utilizing traditions in facing integration challenges in the era of globalization.Pemahaman budaya antar 2 negara akan mampu mengeratkan tali persaudaraan antara 2 negara serumpun Indonesia dan Malaysia.
