Indonesia lies on the ring of fire. This has called for strengthened preparedness when faced with various disasters such as earthquake, volcanic eruptions, tsunami and other natural disasters. Numerous mitigation efforts, ranging from strengthening disaster preparedness, emergency response activities, to post- disaster recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction have been conducted.
Guidelines for Managing Post-Disaster Conservation of Heritage Buildings is a strategic reference to assist the community during implementation of rehabilitation and reconstruction of its heritage buildings. Padang experience provides a positive inspiration to those advocates and conservators of heritage buildings in other regions of Indonesia, and contributes a valuable insight for global heritage movement.

Indonesia lies on the ring of re. is has called for strengthened preparedness when faced with various disasters such as earthquake, volcanic eruptions,
tsunami and other natural disasters. Numerous mitigation eorts, ranging from strengthening disaster preparedness, emergency response activities, to Post- Disaster recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction have been conducted.
A comprehensive approach to implement such eorts is necessary. We hope that focus of activities will include rehabilitation of heritage assets such as heritage buildings, heritage characters and markers as well as rehabilitation of intangible cultural heritage activities such as practices of traditions, arts and indigenous culture.
ere is a tremendous threat to damaged heritage buildings when they undergo rehabilitation and transformation into new buildings without taking into consideration their heritage values. In this regard, guidelines for managing Post-Disaster conservation of heritage buildings serves as practical guide for implementing rehabilitation and integration of heritage buildings in harmony with the environment.
e City of Padang overcame several earthquakes of fairly high magnitudes on the Richter scale. e earthquake on 30 September 2009 destroyed many of heritage buildings in Padang. Damaged Heritage Rapid Assessment in Padang and Pariaman from 10 to
15 October 2009, conducted by BPPI and its partners and supported by Prince Claus Fund and International National Trusts Organisation, reported that out of 274 heritage buildings, 129 heavily damaged, 77 moderately damaged, 51 slightly damaged, and 17 in safe conditions (no damages). Due to the existing condition and concerns for any rehabilitation and reconstruction activities that may further harm the heritage buildings, we hope that this Guidelines for Managing Post-Disaster Conservation of Heritage Buildings, Case Study: Padang will be useful for managing conservation of heritage buildings in Padang Old Town quarters such as Batang Arau, Pasa Gadang and other heritage quarters.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to Prince Claus Fund’s Cultural Emergency Response programme for their support for the Damaged Heritage Rapid Assessment and for the publication of this Guidelines for Managing Post- Disaster Conservation of Heritage Buildings jointly supported by World Monument Fund.
We encourage and welcome any inputs on the content and writing of this guidelines to be considered for the improvement of the guidelines in the future.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CITY OF PADANG
A. Overview of the City of Padang
A.1. Development of the City of Padang A word Padang derives from ethnic Minang
word pedang (sword), also to show lapangan (eld) where the city is situated. e City of Padang is one of the cities lies on the west coast of Sumatra Island.
According to historical records before 17th century, the City of Padang was a shing village
inhabited by shermen, salt farmers and traders. Padang was not considered signicant at the time because the Minang mostly perform their trading via the east coast on big rivers crossing the interior of Sumatra. But when trading competition with foreign traders, wars and piracy increased in the Strait of Malacca, the route was not save anymore, so trading route started to shift to the west coast of Sumatra Island.

According to local genealogy (tambo), the old town quarter was a part of migrant settlement area established by Minangkabau migrants, indigenous to the highlands of West Sumatra (darek). First settlement was hamlets along the south bank of the Batang Arau (Arau River) which is now known as Seberang Padang.
Acehnese was the rst settlers after Malacca was conquered by Portuguese at the end of XVI century. Since then, Pantai Tiku (Tiku Beach), Pariaman and Inderapura under the young king of Pagaruyung Kingdom turned into important ports due to its close proximity to sources for commodities such as pepper, clove, nutmeg and gold.
A.2. The Arrival of Dutch e Dutch came after Padang due to its calm
and wide estuary and its cool air. Padang was under Dutch rule in 1660 after an agreement with the young King of Pagaruyung. Seven years later, the Dutch built a headquarter oce (known as Loji) which served as both a warehouse and a prison (tangsi). e Dutch started controlling neighbouring areas for security reasons.
Since the arrival of Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie (VOC) in 1663, the City of Padang started developing, attracting migration of the Minangkabau from luhak area. Aside from its wide and calm estuary, VOC was interested in building new port and settlement along the west coast of

Sumatra for easy trade access to the interior of Minangkabau.
In 1668, VOC has managed to repel the inuence of the Aceh Sultanate and conquered the west coast of Sumatra. e story is known from a letter of a regent Jacob Pits addressed to the Sultan of Pagaruyung. e regent requested reinstatement of trading relations and distribution of gold to the city. In 7 August 1669 Pauh and Koto Tangah people rebel against VOC monopoly, but the rebellion was suppressed by the VOC. e rebellion of the locals considered as the ocial birth year of the City of Padang.
It was estimated that Chinese settlers arrived immediately after the VOC built its post. Chinese in Padang is known as Padang Chinese, mostly assimilated and speak Minang language. Records in 1930 revealed at least three ethnic groups came to reside in Padang, they are Hokkian, Hakka and
Kwongfu. Later on, it was estimated that Tamil or Indian descent came when the English troops came. Area populated by Tamil people is called Kampung Keling and is a trade centre. Many of the Tamil diaspora living in the City of Padang have lost their Tamil culture/identity.
In 1784, VOC ocially proclaimed Padang as their central base of colony and trade in West Sumatra. Padang developed and quickly became a busy port after the construction of Teluk Bayur Port. But in 1795 after the English defeated Dutch in the Fourth Anglo-Dutch war, the English conquered the City of Padang. In 1819, after the Napoleonic War, the Dutch conquered the area and further legalised it after signing the Treaty of London in 17 March 1824.
In 1837, the Netherlands Indies government declared the City of Padang as its administrative centre for Gouvernement Sumatra’s Westkust

which covered West Sumatra and Tapanuli areas. At the time, new problems for the Netherland Indies government risen due to rapid growth of several areas under its rule. Although mechanism and activities of the government were in place, but spread out and separate islands could not eectively be governed and monitored. e condition made the colonial decided to follow the governing model of their home country, the Netherlands, where municipality/township is under the authority of a mayor who report to the City/Town Council.
Furthermore the town became gemeente since 1 April 1906 after the issuance of ordonance (STAL 1906 No.151) in 1 March 1906. e ordonance was signed by the Governor General J. B. van Heutsz. e decentralised system of government rst introduced in the Netherlands Indie, and since 1 April 1906 including the City of Padang under the gemeente (city) status, which followed by the establishment of City Council with primary duties to increase public health and transportation, provisions for building constructions, road and bridge maintenance as well as street lamps, sanitation control, sewer and garbage clean-up, management of clean water, market and butcher house, city and settlement area expansion, cemetery, and re ghter.
