Kisam Gabungan – village in Lawe Sumur District, Aceh Tenggara Regency
Kisam Gabungan is a settlement on Sumatra that belongs to the Lawe Sumur kecamatan (district) within Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara (Southeast Aceh) Regency in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Geographically, it is located at 3.47° north latitude and 97.83° east longitude, in the inland, mountainous region of Sumatra. The broader Aceh Tenggara Regency lies in the eastern part of Aceh Province, and based on available source material, reliable information about Kisam Gabungan can be provided at the regency level, since no independent, settlement-level database is available for the village.
General overview
Kisam Gabungan is a relatively little-known rural settlement belonging to Lawe Sumur kecamatan, primarily characterized by agriculture. According to data available at the regency level, Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara has a total area of 4,179.12 square kilometers, with a population of 220,860 at the time of the 2020 census, and an official estimate of 237,910 for mid-2025. The regency's administrative center is Kutacane city, located in Babussalam District. Kisam Gabungan belongs to Lawe Sumur, one of the regency's interior districts farther from the capital. Agriculture plays a defining role in the regency: major products include palm oil, cocoa, coconut, coffee, nutmeg, nuts, and patchouli oil. These sectors form the basic livelihood sources for rural communities in Aceh Tenggara, including villages in Lawe Sumur District. No independent, detailed description is available for Kisam Gabungan, so the above context relies on broader regency and district-level knowledge.
Real estate and investment
No independent, village-level real estate market data is available for Kisam Gabungan. The broader Aceh Tenggara Regency is one of Sumatra's rural, agriculture-based areas, where the real estate market typically adapts to local needs: the scale of commercial real estate development and investment-oriented property purchases significantly lags behind more developed areas of Aceh Province, such as the provincial capital, Banda Aceh. In the regency, economic activity organized around agricultural production (palm oil, coffee, cocoa) dominates, providing a form of stability but differing from urban-level commercial development dynamics. Under Indonesian law, foreign nationals do not hold full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over property in the country; long-term use or rental arrangements are available to them (such as Hak Pakai or Hak Sewa). This general Indonesian legal framework also applies to Aceh Tenggara Regency. From an investment perspective, the region is more relevant to domestic, agriculturally-interested buyers than primarily to the international real estate market.
Safety and security
No publicly available, verifiable crime statistics or security situation report specifically characterizing this village is accessible for Kisam Gabungan. Generally speaking, Aceh Province – to which Aceh Tenggara Regency belongs – has undergone significant transformation following the 2005 peace agreement, and public safety has improved across the province compared to the conflict-ridden periods of previous decades. In the interior, rural areas of Aceh Tenggara, including Lawe Sumur kecamatan, daily life is typically organized around agricultural activities, and neither the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor other relevant authorities have issued special security warnings regarding the area. Nevertheless, to properly assess the precise, current situation, it is advisable to consult current information from relevant authorities, as local conditions may change over time.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions directly associated with Kisam Gabungan are listed in available sources. In the broader Aceh Tenggara Regency, however, verifiable data on numerous natural values is available. The Alas River and the Butan River flow through the regency's territory, representing defining elements of the region's water system. The regency is part of the Leuser Ecosystem, one of Sumatra's most significant natural areas, serving as habitat for numerous protected species, including Sumatran tigers, elephants, and orangutans. This natural heritage theoretically represents an attraction for those interested in ecological tourism, though concrete information about tourist infrastructure and individual visitor entry points can only be stated on the basis of Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara-level sources, not specifically regarding Kisam Gabungan. No separate, verifiable source is available for local attractions in Lawe Sumur District.
Summary
Kisam Gabungan is a rural, agriculture-based settlement on the island of Sumatra, located in Lawe Sumur kecamatan of Aceh Tenggara Regency, part of Aceh Province. No independent, detailed data about the village is publicly accessible; what can be reliably established at the broader regency level includes agricultural production (palm oil, coffee, cocoa), proximity to the Leuser Ecosystem, and the role of the Alas River and Butan River in the area. Assessments relating to the real estate market, public safety, and tourist appeal can therefore be primarily interpreted within the context of Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara level, not exclusively as they apply to Kisam Gabungan.
