Buket Teukuh – small Acehnese village in Idi Tunong district, Keast Aceh Regency
Buket Teukuh is an Indonesian village located in the eastern part of Aceh province on the island of Sumatra. Administratively, it belongs to Idi Tunong district (kecamatan), which forms part of Kabupaten Aceh Timur, or East Aceh Regency. Based on the settlement's coordinates (4.9227114° N, 97.7240183° E), it is situated near North Sumatra in the eastern belt of Aceh province. Currently, no independent, detailed source data is available for this specific village, so the description below is based primarily on verifiable data and correlations at the broader Kabupaten Aceh Timur level, with this consistently indicated throughout.
General overview
Buket Teukuh does not fall into the category of widely known or heavily touristed settlements; rather, it belongs to the category of rural Acehnese villages tied to local agricultural and community life. The settlement belongs to Idi Tunong kecamatan, whose precise territorial and population data are not currently available in independent sources. The broader administrative unit, Kabupaten Aceh Timur, lies in the eastern part of Aceh province, and by the end of 2023, the regency's total population was 449,796 inhabitants. The East Aceh region is historically a defining area in terms of Acehnese identity and local cultural traditions; the Acehnese language and Islamic lifestyle form an integral part of everyday life. Rural villages such as Buket Teukuh are typically built on agricultural activities — primarily palm oil plantations, coconut palm cultivation, and small-scale fishing — a phenomenon commonly observed in the East Aceh area. However, specific statistics or administrative descriptions relating to the village are currently not available.
Real estate and investment
No independent, detailed source data is available for Buket Teukuh's real estate market. In the broader context of Kabupaten Aceh Timur, it can be noted that the East Aceh region is traditionally a valuable area in terms of natural resources — particularly oil and gas extraction; the regency is among the oil-rich Acehnese districts, as noted in sources that Kabupaten Aceh Timur is one of the wealthier oil-producing districts alongside North Aceh and Aceh Tamiang. This mineral resource background influences the region's economic weight, though the real estate market in rural villages typically remains narrow and local in character. According to the general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations, foreigners cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over real estate in Indonesia; the legal structures available to them include Hak Pakai (usage rights) or longer-term rental agreements. Aceh province has a special autonomous status within Indonesia, which may also entail certain local regulatory variations, making consultation with a local legal advisor particularly recommended before undertaking any real estate transactions. Reliable data on plot prices at the village level or investment indicators is not available.
Safety and security
No concrete, village-level data are available regarding Buket Teukuh's public safety. Regarding the broader historical context of Kabupaten Aceh Timur region, it should be noted that before the military emergency status that went into effect in May 2003, the area was regarded as one of the base territories of Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (Free Aceh Movement), and certain districts of the regency — particularly Peureulak and its surroundings — were classified as zones of heightened conflict at that time. Following the 2005 Helsinki peace talks and the sustained ceasefire that followed, however, the security situation changed throughout Aceh province, and the province is now considered one of Indonesia's more stable regions with the cessation of the previously existing armed conflict. In the absence of current, specific local public safety statistics, those intending to travel or settle would be well advised to consult the local authorities or the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs travel advisories for up-to-date information.
Tourist attractions
Buket Teukuh does not appear as a tourist destination with named attractions, natural attractions, or cultural sites in independent sources. Within the broader Kabupaten Aceh Timur region, the city of Peureulak holds special historical significance — it is regarded as one of the earliest places where Islam arrived in Indonesia, which may hold cultural and religious-historical interest for those traveling in the region, though this location is not within walking distance of Buket Teukuh but is located elsewhere within the regency. The coastline of East Aceh and areas near the Malacca Strait are also known for their natural qualities in the region, though their level of tourism infrastructure development is moderate. Reliable data regarding a specific landmark, temple, natural attraction, or festival tied to the specific village is currently not available, so this article does not mention such specifics.
Summary
Buket Teukuh is a small rural Acehnese village belonging to Idi Tunong district and Kabupaten Aceh Timur in the eastern part of Aceh province on Sumatra. No independent, detailed source is available for the village, so the broader contextual information provided here is based on data verified at the level of East Aceh Regency. The region is an oil-rich area with a historically complex past, which has been on a stable development trajectory since the Acehnese peace process; for village life and local communities, the economic background is characterized primarily not by tourism but by agriculture and resource-based economy. For more detailed, village-level data, it would be appropriate to consult local administrative sources or undertake on-site inquiry.
