Jarommah Me – a small settlement in Kuta Blang District, Kabupaten Bireuen, Aceh Province
Jarommah Me is a small Indonesian settlement located in the Kabupaten Bireuen region of Aceh Province (Sumatra), specifically within the Kuta Blang district (kecamatan). Based on its coordinates (5.2294741° N, 96.8156735° E), it falls within the wider area of the Banda Aceh–Medan main road, which is one of the most important transportation axes in the Aceh region. According to kabupaten-level sources, Bireuen was created from the division of Kabupaten Aceh Utara on October 12, 1999, and has functioned as an independent administrative unit since then. Settlement-level data for Jarommah Me are not currently available in public sources, so the following presentation of the location is based on verifiable information about the wider district and Kabupaten Bireuen, with this being clearly indicated throughout.
General overview
Jarommah Me belongs to the Kuta Blang kecamatan, which is one of the administrative units of Kabupaten Bireuen. The kabupaten itself lies along the route between Banda Aceh and Medan, bordering three adjacent kabupatens: Kabupaten Bener Meriah, Kabupaten Pidie Jaya, and Kabupaten Aceh Utara form its immediate neighbors. This transit role – which is also indicated in kabupaten-level sources – determines the economic and social character of the region: Bireuen functions as a kind of busy transit area between the northern and southern parts of Aceh Province. Smaller villages, presumably including Jarommah Me, are situated within this rural-agricultural environment. No data on the settlement itself regarding population or area are available from publicly accessible sources, so more detailed description on this matter cannot be provided.
Real estate and investment
Independent real estate market data for Jarommah Me are not available in publicly accessible sources. Regarding the wider region, Kabupaten Bireuen, it can be stated that the kabupaten belongs to areas that have gradually stabilized following the 2003 military emergency and the subsequent Helsinki Agreement (2005), which may benefit investor confidence in the long term. Aceh Province as a whole went through significant development processes during the post-2004 tsunami reconstruction period, which also affected certain segments of infrastructure and the real estate market – however, this was more characteristic of the more developed urban areas of the province. In Indonesia, strict legal restrictions apply to property acquisition by foreigners: direct ownership (Hak Milik) is not possible for foreigners, and instead, typically long-term lease arrangements (Hak Sewa, Hak Pakai) are used. In rural, small village areas such as the Jarommah Me district, the real estate market is generally less active and less transparent than in larger cities.
Safety and security
Independent, credible statistics on public safety in Jarommah Me are not found in publicly accessible sources. At the Kabupaten Bireuen level, based on available information, it can be noted that the kabupaten was one of the former base areas of the Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM) movement, where a military emergency was declared in 2003. Since the conclusion of the 2005 Helsinki Agreement, the situation has gradually normalized throughout Aceh, and the province has generally moved toward stability. For travelers and prospective investors, it is recommended to consult the briefings of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or other reliable government sources regarding the current situation, as local conditions may change over time, and real-time monitoring of these exceeds the scope of the regency-level summary presented here.
Tourist attractions
The available source material does not contain any specific, named tourist attractions associated with Jarommah Me. At the Kabupaten Bireuen level, however, it may be noted that the kabupaten played a historically significant role in Indonesia's independence struggle: on June 18, 1948, during the second Dutch military aggression (1947–1948), Bireuen was declared the second capital of the Republic of Indonesia, and the PDRI (Pemerintah Darurat Republik Indonesia – the republic's emergency government) moved there from Bukittinggi. This historical legacy plays a defining role in the cultural identity of the kabupaten as a whole and provides relevant context for visitors interested in the region. The Kuta Blang district itself, to which Jarommah Me belongs, is closer to the coast than the kabupaten's interior highland areas; however, based on available source material, factual data about specific named attractions – beaches, temples, natural areas – in the immediate vicinity of Jarommah Me cannot be provided.
Summary
Jarommah Me is a small, poorly documented settlement in the Kabupaten Bireuen region of Aceh Province, within the Kuta Blang kecamatan. Based on kabupaten-level information, the wider area is located along the Banda Aceh–Medan transit route, representing an area of historical significance that has stabilized since the 2005 peace agreement. No detailed data specific to Jarommah Me are available regarding the real estate market, tourist offerings, or public safety; the above description therefore relies on regency-level context and the general regulatory framework applicable to Indonesia as a whole.
