Abstract

Post-disaster rehabilitation in Aceh has generally been assessed through physical outputs and budget absorption, leaving its contribution to multidimensional human welfare insufficiently examined. This study evaluates the effectiveness of government rehabilitation and reconstruction programs through the five essential protections of Maqashid Shariah: religion, life, intellect, wealth, and progeny. It applies directed qualitative content analysis and descriptive quantitative analysis to 13 official recovery documents updated on 27 July 2026. Program targets, implementation progress, service continuity, and constraints were mapped to the five protections and compared across administrative, functional, and structural recovery. The findings reveal markedly uneven effectiveness. Transitional and distributive interventions performed strongly: realization of livelihood, household-content, and economic-stimulus assistance reached 98.96–99.15%; 99.60% of temporary shelters were constructed; and death compensation was fully transferred. However, permanent and productive recovery lagged. Only 401 of 34,727 permanent housing units were explicitly reported as completed, while physical rice-field recovery reached 23.33%, land preparation 4.54%, and planting 1.19%. Education, health, religious, and economic facilities also remained structurally damaged despite partial service continuity, alongside regional transfer absorption of only 2.67%. The study concludes that recovery was administratively responsive but not yet structurally comprehensive, requiring integrated, equitable, and outcome-based governance to fulfil Maqashid Shariah.
