RESULT AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Analysis of the Space Utilization of Ulee Lheue Waterfront Tourism Area.
4.1.1 Analysis of Delineation Recreation area
This analysis explains the restriction of the overall discussion of the region that can be described as a dense region with a center of trade and services. Spatial functions for waterfront area such as office, residential, mixed activities, open space and public space. Determination of the delineation of recreational area will be resulted in the region which will be grouped into two, the core zone and buffer zone. The criteria used to determine the zones are based on the considerations of the following criteria:
1. Distribution of the physical attractiveness 2. Existing activity condition in the area 3. The availability of facilities
4. Utilization of existing space
An explanation of the conditions can be seen on the stage of further analysis.
However, based on several criteria above considerations it can be determined spatial delineation of coastal areas for recreation areas as follows:
4.1.1.1The core areas of recreation areas
Core area is the zone of the main recreation area, the main zone as a venue for recreational activities supported by the existence of facilities and recreational facilities.
Characteristics of the core area as follows:
1. The existence of interesting places that serve as supporting recreational activities, recreational activities and venue.
2. Venue for recreational activities in coastal areas directly.
3. There are service facilities that are directly associated with leisure activities.
4. Utilization of existing space conditions tend to grow into public space.
39
5. The area grew into the center of activity of pleasure, entertainment and the effectiveness of tourism events.
This zone is located along the beach with two main points of growth zones, namely:
1. Zone I, along the road from the bridge to the port of Ulee Lheue.
Existing condition in the open spaces in this zone have been used as places of relaxing, hanging out, sports, public events and some tour events, such as motor racing, race walking competitions. In the afternoon and evening, this area turned into leisure activity and dinner that interesting because of the presence of Banda Seafood restaurants, and crowds of people selling roasted corn along this road.
Figure 4.1 Zone I of the recreation area 1. Zona II. Plaza
Existing conditions have been developed as places to relax and leisure area. The existence of this zone has been planned as a place of recreation and is currently

in the process of rebuilding several other recreational facilities such as supporting children's play area and sitting group.
Figure 4.2 Zone II of the recreation area 4.1.1.2 Supporting Zone of Recreation Area
Supporting zone is the recreational activity that serves as a support activity.
Supporting zone tends to function as services that are not directly on the recreational activities, but its presence is still needed to maintain the existence of the core zone. This can be seen from space utilization functions and activities of the zone.
ZONE. II
4.2.1 Analysis of Coastal Attraction
Tourism as an industry can only be realized if it is done with the preparation and planning that starts from assessing the potential of that can be sold and to invite investment and the ability to increase household incomes and growth spreading the surrounding region.
Conditions of the sea around the coast of Ulee Lheue consist of white sand and rocks. The locations in coastal areas that provide the appeal of the general appearance of recreational activity stretches along the coast of Ulee Lheue, but there are some places that become the main attraction of recreational physical activity and also tsunami tourism such as:

1. Ulee Lheue Mosque 2. Mass Grave
3. Port Area
4. Waterfront Restaurant 5. Beach area
4.2.2 Analysis of User Activity Area
4.2.2.1 Routine Activities of the Community
Community activities are daily activities that can be part of the appeal integration of waterfront recreation area. The daily activities include: fishing, shipping traffic passing by, jogging and hanging out.
This area has become a public space for citizens so that the area towards the development and management of recreation will provide income opportunities for the informal sector, entertainment and services in order of creation multiplier effect due to the growth of the waterfront area as a recreation area.
4.2.2.2 Visitor Activities
The visitor who comes to the beach area can be grouped into two: local people and tourists from abroad. The tourists have a high routine in visiting the Ulee Lheue beach area. Local visitor activities are activities that occur in public spaces like, chatting with friends and family, a place to play for the children, and look for freshness of mind or just look around and view the panorama. Thus we need a maintenance environment to maintain comfort and beauty of the environment.
Activities that undertaken by tourists from abroad are more directed to the city's tourist activity, such as: shopping, dining, recreation and some other activities that take place every weekend. The activities of visitors and tourists give a great opportunity for the development of service sectors and entertainment in the city of Banda Aceh and the coastal areas generally and Ulee Lheue beach in particular, to grow and evolve, to meet the needs of the emergence of activity that has been growing. Through the development of attraction and recreation area management that synergistic, it will display an activity that will generate a multiplier effect in the economy of the city.

This analysis has given the idea that each user group has different characteristics in the use of the waterfront area. Activities undertaken could give an indication about the strategies that would be done to enhance the attractiveness of the region or to maintain the attraction region.
The characteristics of each group of users, activities and development of compliance strategies recreational attraction for each group can be seen in the following table:

4. Maintenance Problem
Aspect of maintenance is an important aspect for the sustainability of the recreational appeal and the environment where the location is not managed in an integrated manner both government and private parties. Maintenance of the area is still lacking, especially it can be seen in some coastal locations as seen from the presence of plants that are less neglected, unavailability of the bins provided and the lack of user awareness of the region. The use of the dense region for trading activities, services, entertainment and tourist attractions give the very significant impact in the environmental degradation that will directly impact negatively on the appeal of recreational waterfront area in the long term. To avoid the negative impacts of growth in activity in the region it will require an integrated plan to manage cleanliness and beauty of the area along the waterfront.
5. Problem of Area Management
The Government has made several programs for the construction of infrastructure facilities and other fittings in the region, but the role of investors in supporting the utilization of the area as a place of recreation is needed. Coordination between the construction sectors is needed to achieve integrated management.
4.4 Internal Factor Analysis of the Utilization of Ulee Lheue Waterfront area Internal factor analysis aims to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the area to be used as a recreation area. These elements are described as follows:

Table 4.2 Internal Factor Analysis
No. Internal Factor Information
1 Strengths 1. The beauty of the beach owned by the Waterfront City in Banda Aceh become alternative leisure tourism coupled with the tsunami tourism as well.
2. Easy access becomes a factor supporting to the development of waterfront recreation area, especially the completeness of water and land transportation.
3. Intensity and the routine use of area as a place for held the local events, religious events and international events support development of recreation areas.
4. Growth supporting activity in the region supports the growth of leisure activities.
2 Weakness 1. Human Resources in the field of services is still less.
2. Standard of accommodation and restaurant facilities are still needed to increase.
3. Street vendors has not been organized and managed.
4. Parking area is still not well planned and well ordered.
5. Problems of waste that can not be handled optimally so disturbing view of the area.
6. Lack of community involvement in tourism management.
7. Awareness and the level of public awareness of waste and environmental hygiene are lacking.
4.4.1 The strength factor that owned by the waterfront area
Strength of the waterfront area shows the uniqueness of a local attraction, among other things: the beauty of the view, landscape and alternative attractions to support the use of physical attractiveness as a regional recreation area. Other supporting factors are the ease of access and the growth of activity in this region as recreation area.
Other supporting factors are the ease of access and the growth of citizen activity in this region.
previous identification process, it can be formulated a strategy of utilization of the Ulee
48
Lheue waterfront recreation area based on tsunami mitigation as a supporter of the concept of waterfront city.
Regional spatial strategy for the waterfront recreation area based on tsunami mitigation can be grouped into three main groups, namely: strategic planning of the area, open space utilization strategies and tsunami mitigation strategies to control the open space, as follows:
Table 4.4 Strategies Analysis
External Factor Internal Factor
Strengths Weaknesses
Opportunities S-O Strategy
1. The need of government policy on the master plan of cultural areas,
recreational and tourism tsunami. Create attraction programs in the waterfront, such as entertainment, folk games, performing arts to promote the traditional arts to tourists, and other interesting attractions to make the area more alive.
2. Management of waterfront attraction and environment to preserve the preservation and hygiene of the area.
3. Improvement of service facilities that affect the smooth access to the region.
W-O Strategy
1. Promotion to the investor to improve services and quality of human resources.

4. Arrangement of the street vendors in accordance with the space utilization of waterfront area.
5. Increased active role of public in maintaining the hygiene of public environment.
6. Improve tourist services and facilities services better.
7. Maintain the existence of rich culture and local heritage.
Threats S-T Strategy
Control and improvement of environmental hygiene by include the community in environmental activities, as well as information about the importance of public environmental hygiene to the society. Creation of cooperation and partnership between government, private sector and communities in the management area.
W-T Strategy
To take advantage of the coastal city of Banda Aceh as a recreation area that supports the concept of waterfront city it required cooperation by all parties.
49
Based on the SWOT analysis above, it is known spatial strategy for the recreational beach area as follows:
1. Planning Strategy, planning master plan for recreation area, planning performance in the seaside attractions, such as entertainment, folk games, art and culture and other attractions to turn over the area, improved service and quality of human resources, and maintain the existence and richness of local cultural heritage.
2. Strategy of Land Use, arrangement of informal activities that may support recreational activities in coastal areas, provision of sufficient bins along the Ulee Lheue waterfront area, parking arrangement to maintain the security and comfort of visitors, arrangement of the street vendors in accordance with the use of space of the waterfront area, and increase better tourism services, such as food service, public facility, souvenir shop, etc.
4.6 Identification of the Quality of Physical Arrangement Elements and Environmental
4.6.1 Conditions of the arrangement of physical elements and the environment
To assess the extent of the physical arrangement of the elements of vulnerability and environmental conditions required data on the arrangement of elements according to aspects of the review. The data required is the physical condition of these elements that can be analyzed with the vulnerability of existing parameters. In addition it also collected secondary data relating to other aspects of the arrangement and mitigation.
Conditions of the physical arrangement of elements and the environment are obtained from direct observations in the field, gathering the information that needed by recorded and documented visually. The general concept of spatial planning areas contained in the Planning of Urban Open Space (RDTRK Meuraxa, 2007).

4.6.2 Quality Identification of Open Space as Barrier and Escape Function
In order to determine the level of vulnerability the physical elements and environmental arrangement it required data on the condition of the elements of the arrangement that is appropriate with aspects of review. The data required is the physical condition of these elements that can be analyzed with the vulnerability of existing parameters. In addition it also collected secondary data relating to other aspects of the arrangement and mitigation. Conditions of the elements of physical arrangement and the environment are obtained from direct observations in the field; gather the information that need to record and visually documentation.
Natural disasters such as tsunami waves are unavoidable, but the negative impact should be minimized, by the way of mitigation. Definition of mitigation is the process of seeking a variety of preventive measures to minimize the negative impact of the disaster that would happen. Mitigation is also a long-term investment for the welfare of the community. The easiest way to avoid disaster in the coastal areas is to not stay around the coastal area. However, it is very difficult to avoid the construction on the coast itself, especially in the city of Banda Aceh, where there are many strong reasons for choosing to live in the community despite the disaster-prone region. The strategy of disaster mitigation and tsunami tidal waves can be done in three ways: First, muffled the waves. Second, the creation of early warning systems (early warning system) that is reliable. And third, is learning about the disaster as well as how to avoid them (Aprizal, 2007). Wave muffled can be either natural or artificial. Naturally is to provide barriers such as mangrove forest crops. The large size of muffled is depending on the thickness of the forest, the type, density, and height of the plantations. Artificially is to create a breakwater or sea wall and breakwaters or water break. Vulnerability of the physical and environmental aspects affected, strongly influenced by the quality of the arrangement. The quality of good mitigation environmental arrangement can be seen from the product planning and design that consider mitigation efforts in it.
Identification of open spatial quality is done by analyzing the technical terms derived from a review of previous literature. For open space element aspect under review is a function of the quality of open space as a function of protection or rescue functions. From the collection of data obtained two functions that have been earmarked
51
for land protection function the mangrove area, green museum area and a land that is not designated for protective functions, but meet the criteria of protection function (land pool).
Figure 4.4 Map of open space land in the Meuraxa District Area (Source: RDTRK Meuraxa, 2007)
Development of green open space in the District Meuraxa especially in Ulee Lheue area is in addition an attempt to add to the aesthetics and beauty of space, as well as an effort to keep the ecosystem biological environment as well as to improve the microclimate Meuraxa undergoing changes since the post-tsunami in the absence of green vegetation in this area, so hopefully with the development of green spaces can create a beautiful atmosphere and comfortable and can be used as public space for people in the District Meuraxa (RDTRK Meuraxa, 2007).
