Meuria Bluek – gampong in Kecamatan Meurah Mulia, Kabupaten Aceh Utara
Meuria Bluek is a small Indonesian gampong (village administrative unit) located in Kecamatan Meurah Mulia, Kabupaten Aceh Utara, in Aceh Province on the northern part of the island of Sumatra. Based on its coordinates (5.1008673 north latitude, 97.2052966 east longitude), it is situated in the inland area of the kabupaten, not on the coast. Its postal code is 24372, which applies to the entire Kecamatan Meurah Mulia. The kabupaten capital is Lhoksukon, which functions as the region's administrative and commercial center. In the case of Meuria Bluek, neither Wikipedia nor other publicly available sources publish detailed settlement-level demographic or infrastructural data, so the description below is framed within the context of district and regency level information.
General overview
Kecamatan Meurah Mulia is one of the administrative sub-districts of Kabupaten Aceh Utara. The kecamatan comprises a total of 50 gampongs, one of which is Meuria Bluek. Kecamatan Meurah Mulia is bordered to the north by Kecamatan Tanah Luas and Gerpas, to the south by Kecamatan Syamtalira Bayu and Samudera, to the west by Kecamatan Syamtalira Bayu and Gerpas, and to the east by Kecamatan Nibong and Tanah Luas. The kecamatan thus lies among several neighboring districts, characteristically as an inland Sumatran agricultural and rural area. Viewed as a whole, the region of Aceh Utara is a fundamentally rural kabupaten whose economy is determined primarily by agriculture and fishing, and to a lesser extent by trade. Meuria Bluek itself is not known from a tourist perspective, and no named local attractions, special economic activities, or notable institutions are documented in the available sources. Publicly available sources do not contain exact population or area data for the gampong; according to district-level data, the total population of Kecamatan Meurah Mulia is 26,301 inhabitants based on published figures. Meuria Bluek would be a medium-sized rural community within this population, though the available documentation does not contain more precise data than this.
Real estate and investment
No separate real estate market or investment data is available for Meuria Bluek. At the broader level of Kabupaten Aceh Utara, however, some activity can be observed in the real estate sector. Kabupaten Aceh Utara is increasingly attracting the attention of homebuyers, and subsidized residential properties accessible in the region through the Sikumbang system are available at prices below 200 million rupiah. This indicates that real estate prices in the region are generally lower compared to more developed Indonesian areas, which primarily presents an opportunity for local buyers. In the case of rural gampongs such as Meuria Bluek, the real estate market typically operates informally: the majority of transactions take place between local actors without developer projects. The framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations is generally well known: foreign nationals in Indonesia cannot, as a general rule, acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of real estate but may only hold property under limited titles (such as Hak Pakai, or usage rights). This regulatory framework applies throughout the country, including in Aceh Province and Kabupaten Aceh Utara. Aceh Province's investment strategy concentrates on four main sectors: agrarian economy, energy and infrastructure, tourism, and Aceh Economic Development Zones. From the perspective of Meuria Bluek and its surrounding area, the agricultural character predominates; industrial development and tourism investment potential are greater in other, more favorably situated parts of the kabupaten.
Safety and security
Detailed, verifiable public safety statistics are not available for Meuria Bluek. Regarding the broader region of Aceh Province, it is worth noting that the province has consolidated stably from both political and security perspectives since the Helsinki Peace Agreement of 2005, following the conclusion of decades of armed conflict. The investment climate in Aceh is favorable, and security conditions increasingly make the province attractive for investments from outside the island of Java. In rural districts, such as Kecamatan Meurah Mulia, public safety is generally of a rural character: the forms of crime characteristic of major cities are less present, however the specific situation cannot be described in detail without more precise data from local authorities. Aceh Province furthermore applies shariah-based local regulations (qanun) that determine community norms and regulations; this applies to the entire province, including Kabupaten Aceh Utara.
Tourist attractions
No documented named tourist attraction can be identified in Meuria Bluek gampong supported by sources. Kecamatan Meurah Mulia as a whole does not have documented tourist infrastructure based on publicly available data. However, numerous attractions can be found in the broader Kabupaten Aceh Utara area. By virtue of Aceh Province's geographical position, it faces directly onto the Strait of Malacca, and its natural beauty contributes to the local economy through the tourism sector. Islamic cultural heritage plays a prominent role in Aceh's overall tourism offering: traces of mosques, local traditions, and historical monuments can be found throughout the kabupaten. Domestic or foreign tourism rarely organizes visits to the area of Kabupaten Aceh Utara; the more well-known tourist destinations in the province (such as Banda Aceh and its surroundings, or Sabang Island) are located in other districts. Meuria Bluek and its immediate surroundings function primarily as a local agricultural community, not as a tourist destination.
Summary
Meuria Bluek is a small gampong in the northern part of Sumatra, in Kecamatan Meurah Mulia, Kabupaten Aceh Utara, in Aceh Province. At the kabupaten level, Aceh Utara is increasingly attracting the interest of homebuyers, and subsidized residential properties available in the region are accessible at relatively low prices. Detailed, verifiable data about Meuria Bluek itself — population figures, infrastructure, attractions — is not publicly available; the gampong is rural and agricultural in character, and exhibits the typical features of the region's rural communities. For any more specific information, local administrative bodies (kecamatan office, kabupaten administration) or the Badan Pusat Statistik Aceh Utara databases can provide reliable sources.
