A spokesman of the agency overseeing reconstruction in the wake of the tsunami, says 138 houses were symbolically handed over to residents of one of the villages worst hit by the tsunami.
The catastrophe claimed 168,000 Indonesian lives.
Reconstruction of a targeted 120,000 houses is expected to be complete by April.
However official say some of the rebuilt houses have remained unoccupied or are of poor quality, while others still lack essentials such as drainage or electricity.
