Daya Cot – a small Acehnese settlement in the Tiro/Truseb district of Pidie Regency
Daya Cot is a small rural settlement in Aceh province, Indonesia, on the island of Sumatra. Administratively, it belongs to the Tiro/Truseb district (kecamatan), which is part of Pidie Regency (Kabupaten Pidie). Based on the settlement's coordinates (5.19° north latitude, 95.93° east longitude), it is located in the interior, hilly areas of Aceh province. The seat of Kabupaten Pidie is Sigli city (Kota Sigli), from which Daya Cot lies to the east-southeast based on the district's location. Currently, no direct, verified source for the settlement is available; therefore, the following description is based on available regency-level and broader Acehnese data, with this always clearly indicated.
General overview
Daya Cot is a small, likely primarily agricultural rural community situated within the Tiro/Truseb kecamatan. The Tiro/Truseb district is located in the eastern part of Pidie Regency, in a relatively little-known rural region. According to available data on Kabupaten Pidie, the regency had a population of approximately 444,900 people at the end of 2023, with a population density of around 181 people/km², making it one of Aceh province's most densely populated regencies — among the province's settlements, only Aceh Utara (North Aceh) Regency has a larger population. Pidie Regency is traditionally an important area of Acehnese culture and Islamic tradition, where village life is significantly shaped by agriculture — primarily rice fields and various plantation crops — as well as strong community and religious traditions. Daya Cot, as one of the small settlements of Tiro/Truseb district, almost certainly fits into these general regional characteristics; however, unique, verifiable data specific to the village are not currently available.
Real estate and investment
No real estate market or investment data specifically for Daya Cot is available. Looking at the broader context: the real estate market in Kabupaten Pidie exhibits the dynamics typical of rural Acehnese areas, where commerce and real estate development are fundamentally concentrated around the regency seat, Sigli. In rural, smaller villages such as Daya Cot likely is, real estate transactions are typically limited, and property prices are considerably lower than in the province's larger cities (such as Banda Aceh). Generally, in Aceh province, Indonesian property regulations impose strict restrictions on foreign nationals: foreign individuals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to property and can only enter into agreements under defined-term usage rights (such as Hak Pakai). This general Indonesian regulatory framework applies to Aceh province as well, where additionally the local adat (qanun) system also plays a determining role in regulating living conditions and economic activities. From an investment perspective, the rural Pidie region — including Daya Cot — is primarily agricultural in character, rather than a tourism or commercial investment destination.
Safety and security
No verified public safety statistics specific to Daya Cot are available. With regard to broader regional context, it is worth noting that Aceh province has been a stably developing region moving toward peace since the signing of the Helsinki Peace Agreement in 2005, where the previous armed conflict has ended. The province is generally considered a relatively safe region within Indonesia, particularly in smaller, closed rural communities, where strong local and religious community norms also contribute to social order. The rural settlements of Pidie Regency, including areas of Tiro/Truseb district, can generally be understood within the security conditions of Aceh province. As in all rural areas of Indonesia, it is advisable for travelers and residents to monitor current Indonesian government advisories and forecasts regarding potential natural disasters (such as earthquakes and flooding), since Sumatra is a geologically active region.
Tourist attractions
No verified source for named tourist attractions specifically regarding Daya Cot is available. The broader region of Tiro/Truseb district and Pidie Regency, however, has some natural and cultural assets known in the region, which generally characterize the Pidie area. The hilly interior areas of Kabupaten Pidie with their natural landscapes — rice fields, hills, and small rivers — could be attractive to those interested in ecological and cultural tourism; however, Tiro/Truseb district is not considered one of the province's major tourism destinations. The more tourism-active areas of the province (such as the coast around Banda Aceh, Sabang Island, or Lake Lut Tawar in Aceh Tengah Regency) are located farther from the Daya Cot area. For travelers visiting the village and its district, the primary appeal lies rather in authentic rural Acehnese community life and traditional agricultural landscape than in developed tourist infrastructure.
Summary
Daya Cot is a small, rural Acehnese settlement on the island of Sumatra, belonging to the Tiro/Truseb district of Kabupaten Pidie. Available data are accessible only at the regency level: at the end of 2023, Pidie Regency, with its population of approximately 444,900, is one of Aceh province's most populous regions. Unique statistics, real estate market data, and tourist information specific to the village are currently not verifiable from publicly accessible sources. Its region can be understood within the framework of traditional rural Acehnese life and agricultural culture, within the province's general security and regulatory conditions.
