“…(Khairullah & Kesuma, 2022) With the earthquake and tsunami disaster in 2004, the government of the Republic of Indonesia through Presidential Decree No.30 of 2005 stipulated the establishment of the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency (BRR). This agency was formed in order to accelerate the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam area after the tsunami, BRR played an active role in development in several areas affected by the 2004 earthquake and tsunami, one of which was in Sinabang City, although the 2004 tsunami disaster did not have much impact on infrastructure destruction in Sinabang City, but there was damage due to the impact of the earthquake before and after the 2004 tsunami disaster, With the establishment of BRR, the Simeulue Regency government and its community strongly support the rehabilitation and reconstruction program because it is a good opportunity for various infrastructure reconstructions in Sinabang City which were previously still very simple, this opportunity was utilized by providing support, planning and sincere strategies in regional development (Munadia & Umar, 2022).…”
