Lampineung – a small settlement in Baitussalam District, Aceh Besar Regency
Lampineung is an Indonesian rural community (desa or kampung) situated in Baitussalam Kecamatan, part of Aceh Besar Kabupaten in Aceh Province on Sumatra. Based on its coordinates (5.6124° N, 95.3972° E), it falls within the area surrounding Banda Aceh city, located in Indonesia's westernmost region at the northern tip of Sumatra. Aceh Besar Kabupaten is one of the country's most significant and historically rich districts, with its administrative seat in Jantho city, situated in the Seulawah mountain range. No independent settlement-level Wikipedia source exists for Lampineung; the context of the place is presented below based on verified data concerning the regency and the broader region.
General overview
Lampineung belongs to Baitussalam Kecamatan, which is one of the administrative units of Aceh Besar Kabupaten. According to data available in mid-2024 regarding the kabupaten as a whole, the total population of Aceh Besar was 439,048 inhabitants, representing a relatively populous yet geographically extensive district. Aceh Besar Kabupaten itself is geographically surrounded by Banda Aceh Kotamadya, such that the settlements of the district – likely including Lampineung – are closely connected to the sphere of influence of the provincial capital. This proximity influences local economic and social conditions on one hand, and shapes the daily commuting and employment habits of residents on the other. Aceh Province possesses special autonomy within Indonesia, and the local regulations applied here – including norms based on customary law and Islamic legal systems – have an impact on everyday life. Lampineung itself does not appear as a known tourism or economic destination in publicly available sources; rather, it seems to be a quieter residential community that benefits from its proximity to the provincial capital.
Real estate and investment
Settlement-level real estate market data specific to Lampineung is not available, so the general characteristics of the broader Aceh Besar Kabupaten and Banda Aceh area are presented below. In areas near the Banda Aceh agglomeration – which includes Baitussalam Kecamatan – gradual real estate development activity has been observed over the past decade, partly due to the post-2004 tsunami reconstruction wave. The region's long-term development has involved numerous infrastructure investments, which indirectly may have influenced local property values. Generally speaking, foreign nationals cannot acquire full land ownership rights (Hak Milik) in Indonesia, though other title forms are available, such as Hak Pakai (use rights) or Hak Guna Bangunan (building rights), which are accessible to foreigners under certain conditions. The real estate market in Aceh Province operates within a unique local regulatory environment, so it is advisable to consult local legal experts and relevant authority regulations before making any investment decision. Proximity to Banda Aceh is generally a positive factor regarding property accessibility and value stability, although specific price data for Lampineung cannot be verified.
Safety and security
Publicly available crime statistics or specific security data for Lampineung are not accessible. Regarding the security situation in the broader Aceh Province, it can generally be stated that the province has stabilized since the end of the armed conflict lasting from the 1970s to 2005, and following the Helsinki Agreement (2005), the region has been on a peaceful development trajectory. Aceh's special autonomy status and the local legal norms applied here generally create a stricter public order environment than in other provinces of Indonesia. In areas within the direct sphere of influence of Banda Aceh – where Baitussalam Kecamatan is located – the general level of urban security typical of Indonesian cities generally prevails. As everywhere, it is recommended to follow customary travel and safety precautions and to stay informed of current official guidance from local authorities.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions specifically associated with Lampineung settlement are known from available sources. However, the broader Aceh Besar Kabupaten and the directly adjacent Banda Aceh contain numerous attractions documented in verified sources, which are relatively easily accessible from Baitussalam Kecamatan. Aceh Besar Kabupaten is historically significant as the birthplace of Cut Nyak Dhien, an Indonesian national hero who came from a place called Lampadang – this information is verifiable from the kabupaten's Wikipedia entry. The memory of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which affected the coastal areas, is also a defining element of the region's cultural and historical identity, with numerous memorials and museums (including the Tsunami Museum in the adjacent city of Banda Aceh) connected to this tragedy. Within the territory of Aceh Besar Kabupaten, the Seulawah mountain range forms the natural backdrop of the interior areas. In coastal regions, which Baitussalam Kecamatan may be close to, traditional Acehnese culture and architecture characteristic of the Aceh region are observable. However, no specific attraction directly associated with Lampineung can be named based on available sources.
Summary
Lampineung is a small community belonging to Aceh Besar Kabupaten, situated in Baitussalam Kecamatan in Aceh Province, Indonesia, in the northern part of Sumatra. No independent, detailed database exists publicly for the settlement, so its characteristics are understood primarily through the context of the broader kabupaten and the Banda Aceh agglomeration. According to 2024 data, Aceh Besar Kabupaten has a population of approximately 440,000 inhabitants and is one of the districts situated at Indonesia's westernmost point. Lampineung's location near the provincial capital determines the area's economic and transportation conditions; however, for more precise, locally specific information, on-site inquiry or consultation of Indonesian administrative records is recommended.
