Alur Tani Satu – a village on the border of Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang, near North Sumatra
Alur Tani Satu is a small settlement in Indonesia's Aceh Province, which belongs to the administrative district of Kecamatan Tamiang Hulu within Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang. Geographically, it is located in the northern part of Sumatra island, close to the border between Aceh Province and North Sumatra (Sumatera Utara) Province. Based on its coordinates (4.1344234, 97.9511137), it lies in the eastern, border-adjacent zone of the kabupaten. Since no independent encyclopedic sources are available specifically about this settlement, the following sections provide contextual information based on verified data at the broader Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang level.
General overview
Alur Tani Satu is one of the villages of Kecamatan Tamiang Hulu, which as part of Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang represents one of the less well-known rural municipalities in the border region between Aceh Province and Sumatera Utara Province. The kabupaten itself was administratively separated from Kabupaten Aceh Timur, and as of the end of 2023, the regency's total population was 308,102. The broader region lies along the eastern corridor of the Lintas Sumatra highway, which provides strategic positioning on the island's north-south transportation axis. The kabupaten's administrative center, Kota Kuala Simpang, is approximately 130 kilometers from Medan, Sumatra's major urban center. This infrastructural proximity generally ensures better commodity supply and relatively lower basic living costs across the entire Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang territory compared to more remote, western, or inland rural areas of Aceh. Verified data on the specific population, area, or local institutions of Alur Tani Satu is not available; the characteristics described above apply to the kabupaten as a whole, and the settlement cannot currently be characterized with statistics more precise than this framework level.
Real estate and investment
No publicly available, verifiable data exists specifically about the real estate market in Alur Tani Satu. Based on the broader context characteristic of Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang as a whole, it can be stated that the region has a rural character and real estate prices generally remain well below the level of major Indonesian cities. The region is positioned along the busy eastern Lintas Sumatra route, which represents a potential advantage for agricultural and commercial real estate. An important general point is that in Indonesia, the possibilities for land acquisition by foreign nationals are limited: under Indonesian law, foreigners cannot directly acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to real estate, but can participate in the real estate market at most through long-term usage rights (Hak Pakai) or other legal structures. Involvement of a local legal expert is recommended before any investment decision. The regency-level context suggests that the Aceh Tamiang real estate market has more favorable accessibility conditions on the province's southern border than in western or inland areas of Aceh, which may also influence smaller villages through supply and infrastructure conditions.
Safety and security
No direct, verifiable sources exist regarding the safety and security of Alur Tani Satu. Based on the known historical context of Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang, it may be noted that during the early 2000s GAM (Gerakan Aceh Merdeka) armed conflict, this region, particularly the urban area of Kota Kuala Simpang, functioned relatively stably compared to other areas of Aceh, and economic activity did not come to a complete halt even during strike calls. Since the long-standing Aceh peace agreement (in place since 2005), the province has generally been stable and the previous armed conflict has ended. Specific data on the current security situation in Alur Tani Satu village is not available; the broader regency situation can be estimated based on general characteristics of the kabupaten, but specific crime statistics cannot be provided due to the lack of reliable sources.
Tourist attractions
No verifiable sources mention named tourist attractions in Alur Tani Satu village. No specific, named attractions are available in the sources for this article regarding the broader area of Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang and Kecamatan Tamiang Hulu. The northern and eastern parts of the kabupaten are generally characterized by river systems and agricultural landscapes in line with Sumatra's natural characteristics, though only regency-level generalization can be made about this. The widely known natural and cultural heritage in Aceh Province, such as routes leading to national parks and coastal areas, are accessible along the Lintas Sumatra corridor; however, the distance of these from Alur Tani Satu cannot be specified precisely due to the lack of verified sources. For those interested, the kabupaten's administrative information offices, local tourism bodies, or direct on-site inquiries may be reliable sources.
Summary
Alur Tani Satu is a rural settlement of Kecamatan Tamiang Hulu in Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang on the border between Aceh Province and Sumatera Utara, in the northern part of Sumatra. Direct data about this settlement is only limitedly available from verified sources; however, based on the broader framework of the kabupaten, it can be said that the region is characterized by relatively favorable accessibility along Indonesia's eastern Sumatra main highway and lower price levels compared to other parts of the province. The known background relating to public safety reflects the stable period that has existed since the 2005 Aceh peace agreement. For those wishing to learn more about this village or its immediate surroundings, consultation with local or kabupaten-level administrative, tourism, and legal sources is recommended for more current and accurate information.
