Ie Alang Lamghui – a small Acehnese village in Kuta Cot Glie District
Ie Alang Lamghui is an Indonesian village (desa) that belongs to Kuta Cot Glie kecamatan within the administrative unit of Kabupaten Aceh Besar. The kabupaten is located in Aceh Province in the northern part of the island of Sumatra. Based on the settlement's coordinates (5.451° north latitude, 95.542° east longitude), it is situated in the inland areas of the kabupaten. Direct settlement-level documentation on Ie Alang Lamghui is not available in the examined sources, so the description below relies primarily on kabupaten-level data and generally known regional contexts.
General overview
Ie Alang Lamghui is a small administrative unit belonging to Kuta Cot Glie kecamatan. Kabupaten Aceh Besar is one of Indonesia's westernmost kabupatens and is administratively closely connected to the city of Banda Aceh, with which it previously formed a single administrative unit. Following the territorial reorganization carried out in the late 1970s, Banda Aceh became an independent kotamadya, and the kabupaten seat was moved to Jantho, which is located in the Seulawah mountain range. The kabupaten's population measured in mid-2024 was approximately 439,048 inhabitants according to Indonesian Wikipedia data. Ie Alang Lamghui itself is a relatively small settlement that is not widely known in broader public awareness, serving primarily as home to the local community living there. Kuta Cot Glie district is predominantly a rural area where agriculture and related activities play a defining role in the local economy. The area's natural characteristics are defined by the topography and tropical vegetation typical of Aceh's inland areas.
Real estate and investment
Settlement-level, publicly available data on Ie Alang Lamghui's real estate market is not available. In the broader context, the real estate market of Kabupaten Aceh Besar is directly linked to the economic appeal of the neighboring city of Banda Aceh, as many areas of the kabupaten fall within the capital's suburbanization zone. In villages near Banda Aceh, demand for real estate has increased over the past decades due to the expansion of the urban agglomeration, while in more distant, inland areas — to which Ie Alang Lamghui belongs — land prices and real estate turnover typically remain more moderate. Generally speaking, the real estate market in rural areas of Aceh Province is less liquid than in larger cities or coastal areas visited by tourists. According to the generally applicable framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik); for foreign investors, Hak Pakai (use rights) or other indirect structures are typically available, the terms of which should in all cases be clarified with a local legal expert.
Safety and security
Independent settlement-level crime or security statistics for Ie Alang Lamghui are not available. Regarding the broader region of Aceh Province, it can be said in general terms that the post-2004 tsunami reconstruction process and the 2005 peace agreement — which closed the prolonged conflict — substantially contributed to the province's stabilization. Aceh is today considered a relatively consolidated province within Indonesia, where daily public safety in rural areas is generally at an adequate level. However, without specific crime or security data pertaining to Ie Alang Lamghui or Kuta Cot Glie district, a well-founded local assessment cannot be provided; those present in the affected area are advised to rely on information from local authorities and Indonesian consular services.
Tourist attractions
No data on named tourist attractions directly linked to Ie Alang Lamghui are found in the available sources. At the kabupaten level, however, several well-known attractions can be identified. Kabupaten Aceh Besar takes pride in being the birthplace of Cut Nyak Dhien, one of Indonesia's national heroes, who came from the village of Lampadang — this is also noted in the kabupaten's Wikipedia article. Jantho, the kabupaten seat, is located near the Seulawah mountain range, which is among the region's natural attractions. The city of Banda Aceh, which directly borders the kabupaten, offers numerous historical and cultural sites, including the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque complex and memorials dedicated to the 2004 tsunami. All these attractions are located at varying distances from Ie Alang Lamghui and are typically accessible via Banda Aceh or along the kabupaten's main routes.
Summary
Ie Alang Lamghui is a small Indonesian village belonging to Kabupaten Aceh Besar, located in Kuta Cot Glie kecamatan in Aceh Province. As independent, detailed source material on the settlement is not available, its characterization is based on kabupaten-level data and the region's general contexts. Kabupaten Aceh Besar is one of Indonesia's westernmost kabupatens, with a population of nearly 440,000 in 2024, and is administratively closely linked to the city of Banda Aceh. The area's rural character, Aceh's natural and cultural heritage, and the region's stabilization over the past decades form the broader framework into which Ie Alang Lamghui fits.
