Abstract

This study proposes a community-based evaluation framework to assess and improve the existing conditions of post-tsunami schools based on the occupants’ evaluations. Rapid, donor-driven reconstruction often defaults to ‘fit-for-all’ solutions that bypass community needs, resulting in facilities that are misaligned with local contexts. This project focused on Lampageu State Elementary School in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, which was reconstructed in 2009 by a German NGO after the 2004 tsunami. The project began by observing the school’s physical condition through the community engagement team, followed by a review and exploration of the school’s design needs with the school community. The community-based evaluation framework considers age as the basis for involvement, inviting 69 students to join the drawing workshops, 11 teachers, and 20 community members to join focus group discussion (FGD) sessions. Visual and narrative data from the community participation activities were analyzed thematically to reveal critical aspects to be improved. Based on the analysis, three essential design aspects for this evaluation framework are identified: physical enhancements, spatial experience, and functional safety, which were realized in a school redesign proposal. As a result, this study also provided a replicable framework through community participatory evaluation for improving the post-disaster design project. It expands the possibility of incorporating occupants’ perspective as a collective approach to translating community insights into design improvements.

Abstract

This article examines the negotiation of colonial memory and cosmopolitan intimacy through the gendered subjectivity of Lintang in the novel Negeri Van Oranje. Drawing on Debbie Lisle’s framework of travel writing as a politically saturated genre, the study argues that the narrative does not merely celebrate transnational mobility or intercultural romance. Instead, it demonstrates how these experiences are Uiltered through a hierarchy of value where Dutch spaces, white masculinity, and metropolitan institutions remain privileged signs of aspiration. Methodologically, the research employs a qualitative interpretive design combining close reading and discourse analysis of scenes involving desire, education, and romantic attachment. The Uindings reveal three signiUicant patterns: Uirst, colonial desire is internalized prior to departure through Lintang’s aspirations for a Dutch education and a foreign husband; second, the Dutch social world is consistently narrated as morally and institutionally superior; and third, while interactions with Uigures like Arbenita and Jeroen introduce a fragile cosmopolitan ethic, it remains partial and conditional. The study concludes that the novel stages a "pseudo-cosmopolitan" formation rather than an egalitarian one. In this framework, an apparent openness to difference coexists with the persistent reproduction of colonial hierarchies, positioning the European "Other" as a lingering site of authority.
