Lhok Timon – small settlement in Setia Bakti District, Aceh Jaya Regency
Lhok Timon is a small Indonesian settlement belonging to Aceh Jaya Regency (Kabupaten Aceh Jaya) in Aceh Province (Provinsi Aceh), classified within Kecamatan Setia Bakti District. Geographically, it is located on the western side of Sumatra island at approximately 4.71 degrees north latitude and 95.55 degrees east longitude. The broader region, Aceh Jaya Regency, was established on April 10, 2002, through the separation of the northern portions of the former West Aceh Regency. Publicly accessible statistical sources specific to this settlement are not currently available.
General overview
Lhok Timon is a sparsely documented, relatively small population settlement whose detailed data — such as exact population figures or built-up area size — do not appear in publicly accessible, verifiable sources. The locality belongs to Kecamatan Setia Bakti, which is one district within Aceh Jaya Regency. The regency itself covers an area of 3,872.23 square kilometers and, according to 2020 census data, had a total of 93,159 residents, including 47,264 males and 45,895 females; the official estimate for mid-2024 recorded 101,407 inhabitants. This indicates that the regency as a whole is considered a relatively sparsely populated rural region. Economic life traditionally relies on agriculture: rice, rambutan and durian fruits, oranges, and watermelons are cultivated in the region, while rubber, palm oil, and coconut oil production are also characteristic activities. This suggests that Lhok Timon itself is likely an agricultural community, as Setia Bakti District is among the rural areas within Aceh Jaya Regency. Based on the settlement's name, it may be inferred that a coastal or river-adjacent location could play a role in local livelihood, though this can only be concluded from the coordinates and the general regional picture.
Real estate and investment
Specific real estate market data for Lhok Timon are not currently available in verifiable sources; therefore, the following reflects the general context of Aceh Jaya Regency and the broader Aceh region. Aceh Jaya Regency is a young administrative unit established in 2002, which has shown continuous population growth over the past two decades; between 2010 and 2024, the regency's population nearly doubled. In rural, agricultural areas, property prices are generally considerably lower than in more developed urban districts of Aceh Province. Agricultural land and more basic residential properties dominate the supply. Regarding the general legal framework: in Indonesia, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of property; certain forms of long-term lease (Hak Sewa) or building rights (Hak Guna Bangunan) may be available to them under specific conditions. From an investment perspective, such less-developed rural districts carry greater risk, as infrastructure provision and market liquidity may lag behind more developed regions.
Safety and security
Independent, verifiable data on security conditions in Lhok Timon are not available. Regarding the broader region, Aceh Province, it can be generally stated that the Indonesian province has become politically consolidated since the 2005 Helsinki Peace Agreement, which ended decades of armed conflict. In the time since, Aceh Province has generally stabilized, though development disparities are noticeable in certain rural areas. In rural, small-population Acehnese communities, strong community bonds have traditionally been among the factors contributing to local order maintenance. However, in the absence of specific crime statistics, no data-supported generalizations can be made regarding the security situation specific to Lhok Timon.
Tourist attractions
Lhok Timon does not feature as an independent tourist destination in available, verifiable sources. Regarding the broader Aceh Jaya Regency environment, only limited specifically named attractions are available in the accessible source material. It can be stated with certainty that the regency capital is Calang, located in Kecamatan Krueng Sabee District. The regency stretches along the coast of the Indian Ocean, so the region is characterized by coastal landscapes which may offer natural points of interest in neighboring areas. Aceh Jaya Regency was among the areas affected by the 2004 tsunami, which in some places has been a defining factor regarding local memory and reconstruction. Before visiting any possible local attractions — whether natural or cultural sites — it is recommended to consult local sources, such as the kabupaten tourism office, as verifiable, current data on these are not available in this source material.
Summary
Lhok Timon is a small Indonesian settlement in Kecamatan Setia Bakti District of Kabupaten Aceh Jaya in Aceh Province, in the western part of Sumatra. Detailed, independent statistical or tourism data specific to the settlement are not publicly documented; information available at the broader regency level depicts a predominantly rural, agricultural region with moderate population density, which has experienced continuous population growth over the past two decades. The best sources for learning about Lhok Timon and obtaining reliable local information are the relevant administrative bodies of Kabupaten Aceh Jaya and direct local inquiry.
