Reform of spatial structure and land use planning aims to reduce disaster risk and protect development outcomes. Ignoring spatial reform will increase the risk of more significant damage. A resilient city has the essential character to survive and to bounce back in no time. This decade, the development of global countries has focused on investing in resilience to protect development outcomes, including livelihoods. This study aims to determine the index of tsunami risk, vulnerability, and capacity and the proposed concept of spatial planning reform in the city of Banda Aceh. The research uses explanatory methods with geographic information systems and literature studies. The formula for calculating the vulnerability index was derived from Perka BNPB No. 2 of 2012. The high level of land use changing into settlements in coastal areas since the rehabilitation and reconstruction period until now, accompanied by a higher level of vulnerability (v), tsunami hazard (h), and low capacity (c) to reduce vulnerability exposure, indicates that it is necessary to reform the spatial plan of Banda Aceh City for mainstreaming the resilience infrastructure. Through investing in resilience infrastructure, the city’s capacity will increase and reduce the risk (r), and finally, the protection of development and citizens can be realized.
