Mount Merapi Residents To Be Relocated The Indonesian government looks set to relocate thousands of survivors of last year’s deadly Mount Merapi volcano to safer locations, officials say. Under a two-year project, Jakarta will provide land, housing, and money to more than 2,700 families whose villages were destroyed in the eruptions; build infrastructure and provide jobs, at an estimated cost of US$158 million, Syamsul Maarif, chairman of the country’s National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), told IRIN. More than 13,000 people will benefit from the scheme, including residents of five villages in badly affected Cangkringan sub-district and one in Klaten District. “With almost all the displaced having moved to temporary shelters, our focus now is how to rebuild communities affected by the disaster,” Maarif said, adding that each household would be entitled to 100 sqm of land and 30 million rupiah ($3,500) to build a house. Some residents, however, had objected to the relocation plan so they would be allowed to build houses near their previous neighbourhoods. full story http://www.irishweatheronline.com/news/earthquakesvolcanos/mount-merapi-residents-to-be-relocated/13625.html |
