When I was on my way to a some village in aceh for work, I found a bridge in a very poor condition. The wooden bridge connecting two villages in Aceh was beginning to break down, perhaps the bridge was completed in the past decades, so the bridge that became the main access used by the people of both villages has a very worrisome condition and dangerous to use due to the condition of the bridge floor that began to decay .
The condition of this bridge is not feasible to use, because the structure of the bridge began to crumble. Like the steel sling cable that holds the bridge load is rusty, so at the maximum load is feared the bridge will break. Then the wooden girders and floors that begin to decay this will be very dangerous to anyone who will cross the bridge.
When I talked to people about the condition of the bridge, they said that was a long time ago they hoped to get help from the local government for the renovation of the bridge, but it never happened, and the worrying fear of anyone who crossed the bridge due to the very poor condition , I propose to the bridge renovation process is done in mutual assistance or self-help from the local community.
After conducting a deliberation with the two villages, they agreed that the renovation of the bridge will be done together with the help of the entire community. With this conclusion people began to dismantle the rotted wooden structures, almost 90% of old structures are unusable, and begin to replace with new wood.
The sense of belonging and cohesiveness of the community in renovating the bridge has already gained results, the wooden bridge that stretches over the 25-meter river is feasible to be reused, so it will give comfort to every people who will cross over the bridge.
