Daya Baroh – a small settlement in the Kabupaten Pidie Tiro/Truseb district in northern Sumatra
Daya Baroh is a small settlement located in Kabupaten Pidie within Aceh Province, belonging to the Tiro/Truseb district (kecamatan). Based on its coordinates (5.2053° north latitude, 95.9370° east longitude), it is situated in the northern part of Sumatra, in the interior of Aceh Province. The nearest urban center is Sigli, the regency capital, located in Kota Sigli kecamatan. Since independent statistical or encyclopedic sources for the settlement are not available, the following description is based primarily on data at the Kabupaten Pidie level and generally verifiable characteristics of Aceh Province, which is indicated in all relevant places.
General overview
Daya Baroh is a relatively small rural community belonging to the Tiro/Truseb kecamatan, for which direct, settlement-level demographic or administrative data are not available. The broader administrative unit, Kabupaten Pidie, had a total population of 444,898 people at the end of 2023, with a population density of 181 people per square kilometer – making it the second most populous regency in Aceh Province after North Aceh Regency. The Pidie region is characterized by rural kecamatan that are predominantly agricultural in nature, with rice cultivation and small-scale trade activities forming the backbone of the local economy. The Tiro/Truseb district itself exhibits a traditional Acehnese rural character: villages (desa/gampong) are typically located several kilometers apart and possess strong local community networks. In Aceh Province, Islamic traditions play a prominent role in local administration, education, and daily life, which applies generally to Kabupaten Pidie and thus to villages belonging to the Tiro/Truseb district as well.
Real estate and investment
No independent, verifiable real estate market data are available for Daya Baroh; therefore, the following discussion addresses more general relationships at the Kabupaten Pidie and Aceh Province level. In rural areas of Aceh Province, the real estate market is substantially less developed than in Indonesia's tourism-frequented regions, such as Bali or the Yogyakarta area. In rural, agriculturally oriented districts, such as the Tiro/Truseb district in general, land prices are typically determined by local supply and demand, with investment-driven demand remaining limited. In areas around Sigli in Kabupaten Pidie, infrastructure development has progressed significantly over the past decade, and this may gradually extend to neighboring districts, though specific impacts on the particular kecamatan cannot be determined. It is important to note as a general legal framework the Indonesian land law: foreigners in Indonesia cannot hold direct ownership rights (Hak Milik) over agricultural land or residential property, but may only access land through certain limited legal titles – such as Hak Pakai (usage right) or Hak Sewa (lease right). This general regulation applies throughout the country, including in Aceh Province and Kabupaten Pidie.
Safety and security
No concrete, verifiable data on public safety are available for Daya Baroh; therefore, the following observations are based on generally known relationships regarding the region, primarily Aceh Province. Since the 2005 peace agreement – concluded with the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) – Aceh Province has become stable, with civil order generally well-maintained. In rural districts, such as the Tiro/Truseb area of Kabupaten Pidie, community life is relatively tightly woven, which generally has a favorable influence on local public safety. Aceh Province is characterized by Islamic-based provincial laws (syariat) that prescribe certain behavioral norms, which form part of everyday public order. Nevertheless, specific crime data, incident statistics, or security assessments for the particular village cannot be reliably reported due to lack of sources.
Tourist attractions
Available sources do not contain named tourist attractions for Daya Baroh or directly within the Tiro/Truseb kecamatan. Kabupaten Pidie in general is not among Aceh Province's most sought-after tourist destinations, although the region's natural and cultural assets – mountainous landscapes, traditional Acehnese villages, and historical sites – are in principle potentially attractive to those wishing to explore lesser-known areas of the province. More well-known tourist attractions in Aceh Province, such as the sights of Banda Aceh or Sabang Island, are accessible distances from Sigli, the capital of Kabupaten Pidie. However, since verifiable data are not available regarding the specific distances between these attractions and Daya Baroh, it is not appropriate to provide exact kilometer figures. The name of Tiro/Truseb kecamatan is connected to the Tiro River, which forms part of the physical geography of the Pidie region, though detailed sources establishing tourism-relevant significance for the river are not available.
Summary
Daya Baroh is a small rural settlement in Kabupaten Pidie, Aceh Province, belonging to the Tiro/Truseb kecamatan. Kabupaten Pidie is the second most populous regency in Aceh Province, with nearly 445 thousand inhabitants and a predominantly agricultural, traditional Acehnese rural character. No direct, detailed sources are available for the settlement itself, and thus it cannot be characterized with more concrete data from demographic, real estate market, or tourism perspectives. Based on the broader regency and provincial context, Daya Baroh is a rural community that primarily fits into the local agricultural economy and is not currently considered a particularly active location from investment or tourism standpoints.
