Miruk Lam Reudep – a gampong in the Baitussalam subdistrict of Kabupaten Aceh Besar
Miruk Lam Reudep is a gampong, or village-level administrative unit, located in the Baitussalam subdistrict of Kabupaten Aceh Besar in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Based on its coordinates, the settlement lies in the northern tip of Sumatra, near coastal areas facing the Strait of Malacca. Miruk Lam Reudep belongs to the administrative subdivision called Mukim Klieng within the Baitussalam subdistrict. Baitussalam itself is a subdistrict (kecamatan) within Kabupaten Aceh Besar in Aceh Province. At the broader regency level, Kabupaten Aceh Besar is the birthplace of Cut Nyak Dhien, an Indonesian national hero who originated from an area named Lampadang.
General overview
No detailed, publicly available settlement-level description of Miruk Lam Reudep exists in accessible sources; therefore, the information below presents context at the subdistrict and regency levels. The gampong belongs to the Baitussalam subdistrict within the administrative system of Kabupaten Aceh Besar. The Baitussalam subdistrict consists of 13 desa/kelurahan in total, and all desa share the same postal code of 23373. The average elevation of the subdistrict's territory is approximately 5 meters above sea level. Regarding Kabupaten Aceh Besar as a whole: the regency is known as Indonesia's westernmost kabupaten, and its former capital was Banda Aceh; after Banda Aceh became an independent municipality (kotamadya), the regency capital was relocated to Jantho, in the Seulawah mountain range. In mid-2024, the total population of Kabupaten Aceh Besar was 439,048 inhabitants. Miruk Lam Reudep is itself a small-population, low-level administrative unit for which detailed statistical data is not publicly available in the examined sources.
Real estate and investment
No independent, verifiable source exists regarding the real estate market of Miruk Lam Reudep; the following presents context at the broader level of Kabupaten Aceh Besar and Aceh Province. Kabupaten Aceh Besar is a strategically positioned region: it lies in close proximity to Banda Aceh, the provincial capital and economic center of Aceh. This proximity generally supports real estate transactions in nearby gampongs, particularly those located close to the capital's agglomeration. As a general rule applicable throughout Indonesia, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to property in Indonesia; legally available titles for foreigners include, for example, Hak Pakai (use rights) or Hak Sewa (lease rights). This general Indonesian land ownership regulation is applicable to the territory of Aceh Besar. Aceh Province possesses special autonomy, the framework of which may influence local regulations; therefore, prior to any specific investment decision, consultation with local legal counsel and authorities is recommended. Investment potential may be strengthened by the fact that the regency capital is located in Jantho in the Seulawah mountain range, and the region is well-organized administratively.
Safety and security
No verifiable, settlement-level crime statistics pertaining to Miruk Lam Reudep or the Baitussalam subdistrict are available in the source materials provided. It may be generally stated that Aceh Province possesses special autonomy and its own system of sanctions, the foundation of which is the application of local customary law and Islamic law (syariat Islam). This legal framework generally influences the manner of maintaining public order throughout the province, including in the subdistricts of Kabupaten Aceh Besar, including Baitussalam. For assessments of individual safety situations, information from the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as well as from the relevant local office of the Indonesian National Police (Polri), is authoritative; specific public safety data for this particular gampong cannot be extracted from the available sources.
Tourist attractions
Miruk Lam Reudep itself does not appear in available literature with documented tourist attractions. The broader Kabupaten Aceh Besar, however, possesses numerous verifiable natural and cultural resources. Cut Nyak Dhien, one of Indonesia's national heroes, was born in the territory of the regency; her birthplace is an area named Lampadang. It is important to note that the regency formerly had administrative connections to the city of Banda Aceh, the current provincial capital, which itself is home to numerous memorial sites and museums related to the 2004 tsunami – these sites, however, are located in the city of Banda Aceh, not in Miruk Lam Reudep. With respect to the Baitussalam subdistrict, no specifically named tourist attractions appear in the examined sources. When visiting natural and cultural sites, it is advisable to seek information about other areas of Kabupaten Aceh Besar and the vicinity of Banda Aceh.
Summary
Miruk Lam Reudep is a small-sized gampong in the Baitussalam subdistrict of Kabupaten Aceh Besar in Aceh Province, in the northern part of Sumatra. The regency numbered close to 440,000 inhabitants in mid-2024 and, as the country's westernmost kabupaten, holds particular geographical significance. The gampong itself currently lacks an independent, publicly documented tourist or real estate market profile; relevant broader context can be understood at the subdistrict and regency levels. For any specific local matters – whether concerning property transactions, security, or attractions – consultation with local authorities and specialists is essential.
