RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PEACE ZONE IN INDRAPURI, GREAT ACEH:

1. Considering that the area is very vast, 2 TMTs should initially cover the strict implementation of the guidelines for the peace zone. The need for such number of TMTs should gradually adjust depending on the necessity of the situation.

2. Critical to the success of a peace zone is having a defined and accurate boundary for establishment of billboards/signs, and patrols; hence, exact boundaries especially near adjacent Kecamatans should be properly identified and marked through GPS (global positioning system).

3. Random helicopter patrols (if available) should be undertaken to have ocular check on areas not accessible to foot patrols.
