Data Cut – small settlement in Kota Jantho district, Kabupaten Aceh Besar, in the northern tip of Sumatra
Data Cut is a minor settlement in Aceh Province, Indonesia, more specifically located within Kabupaten Aceh Besar, belonging to Kota Jantho district (kecamatan). Based on its coordinates (5.2820119° N, 95.6484141° E), it is situated in the hilly inland area of northern Sumatra. Kabupaten Aceh Besar is Indonesia's westernmost kabupaten and surrounds the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, without being administratively part of it. No direct, settlement-level source material is available; therefore, the following characterization is based on verifiable information at the regency and district levels, clearly indicating where this broader context applies.
General overview
Data Cut as a distinct place name does not appear in the publicly accessible, detailed processing of broader Indonesian administrative records, suggesting that it is a relatively small population settlement of local significance—a desa or dusun. Kota Jantho district itself encompasses Jantho, the regency seat, which lies at the foot of the Seulawah mountain range. This inland, hilly location defines the character of the area: the landscape is undulating, the vegetation tropical, and accessibility is primarily ensured by road from Banda Aceh. Kabupaten Aceh Besar, according to 2024 data, has a population of approximately 440,000, though this figure applies to the entire kabupaten, not to a single village. The regency is administratively divided into several kecamatan; Kota Jantho is the district housing the kabupaten's administrative center. Data Cut is a smaller unit within this, and verifiable sources are not available regarding its exact population and territorial data.
Real estate and investment
Settlement-level real estate market data for Data Cut is not available from publicly verifiable sources; therefore, the following remarks concern the broader real estate market context of Kabupaten Aceh Besar and Aceh Province. Due to the regency's proximity to Banda Aceh, it partly falls within the provincial capital's sphere of influence, resulting in more active property turnover in agglomeration zones compared to the more interior, hilly areas. In the hilly interior regions, such as those in Kota Jantho district, the real estate market is generally far less liquid, prices are lower, and development activity is limited. In Indonesia, land ownership by foreign nationals is legally restricted: Hak Milik (full ownership rights) is reserved exclusively for Indonesian citizens. For foreigners, Hak Pakai (use rights) or Hak Sewa (lease rights) constructions are available, as well as longer-term lease agreements executed with notarial involvement. These general frameworks represent the applicable legal background throughout Aceh Province, including in Kabupaten Aceh Besar.
Safety and security
Settlement-level statistics or police reports regarding the safety and security of Data Cut are not available in verifiable form. Generally speaking, Aceh Province occupies a unique legal position among Indonesian regions: it is the only province where a partially Sharia-based legal system is also valid in local regulations, resulting in certain differences regarding public order and local norms compared to other parts of the province and other regions of Indonesia. In hilly interior villages, the crime rate is generally low and community life remains tightly woven; however, these are general observations, not Data Cut-specific data. Travelers and potential investors are advised to seek current information from local authorities or from the Indonesian Embassy in Hungary.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attraction in the immediate vicinity of Data Cut can be identified from verifiable sources. Regarding the broader Kabupaten Aceh Besar and Kota Jantho district context, it is important to note that Lampadang, the birthplace of Cut Nyak Dhien—an Indonesian national hero—is connected to the kabupaten's territory. The regency also lies close to Banda Aceh, where numerous historical and cultural monuments, as well as memorial sites related to the 2004 great Sumatran earthquake and tsunami, can be found—these, however, are located in the provincial capital's area, not directly in the Data Cut region. The Seulawah mountain range, at whose foot Jantho lies, may offer natural attractions; however, verifiable sources do not mention specific, named sites in Data Cut's immediate surroundings. Attractions within the regency are typically accessed from Banda Aceh by road.
Summary
Data Cut is a small, interior settlement in Kabupaten Aceh Besar in Aceh Province, belonging to Kota Jantho district. It is located in the hilly northern part of Sumatra, within the regency surrounding the provincial capital. No independent, settlement-level source material is available; the character of the place, its administrative context, and its broader environment can be approached primarily based on regency- and district-level data. From the perspective of the real estate market and tourism, the broader Kabupaten Aceh Besar and Banda Aceh region provides the relevant reference frame, within which Data Cut can be identified as a small, quiet hilly settlement.
