集団埋葬地のゲートにはコーランの一節がインドネシア語に訳されて書かれている

Everyone who has lifeWe will try youWith adversity and prosperityAs challenges.And only to usYou shall return.(The Prophets: 35)

　 命あるすべてのものたちよ 　我らはお前たちを試している 　よいことと悪いことにより 　試練として 　そして お前たちはいつか 　我らのいるところに戻されるのだ （預言者 :35 ）

Tsunami Mobile Museum

――津波の痕跡・遺物を一か所に集めて博物館を作るのではなく、社会に置いたまま変化していく様子を記録する

●The Aceh Tsunami Mobile Museum (ATMM) database shows on a map the damage and annual change due to reconstruction and rehabilitation after the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami of December 2004. About 165 thousand people were killed or went missing due to the disaster in the Aceh province of Indonesia, on the island of Sumatra.

●This database presents related photos and news articles from local media. It can be consulted from portable terminals such as smart phones, allowing records accessed in this way to supplement records onsite, in an attempt to make a whole town of Banda Aceh into a field museum through the use of mobile devices.

● The records available for consultation show how the reconstruction/rehabilitation process has unfolded and how the legacy of the disaster have played different roles in the everyday life of people. This database also serves to preserve experiences of the disaster can be accessed from anywhere.

Disaster Information Mapping

――オンライン情報を自動収集して地図上で表現する仕組み。災害以外の分野にも応用可能

●As a prototype, the system collects articles on natural disasters in Aceh and West Sumatra provinces from Indonesian online newspapers, based on relevant keywords. This database is expected to be useful for humanitarian aid efforts and to be generalizable to other investigations, for instance of social conflicts or political developments such as elections, by changing the keywords.

●This database gathers online information in local languages to show on a map the extent of damage and rescue activity following the outbreak of a disaster in the region. In disaster situations, reports from English-language and international media are useful to grasp the overall picture of the disaster; however, these sources do not clearly convey the situation on the ground from a local perspective. This system gathers information in local language from the local media and allows speedy visualization of damage in the disaster-stricken area to support rescue activities.
