Abstract
The sustainable development becomes an inevitable paradigm today. It does not only concentrate on economic growth, but also pay attention to other issues on environmental sustainability such as justice, welfare, as well as the maintenance of social and cultural systems. The sustainable development has some indicators and should also proceed with a series of stages namely economic, ecological, political and social culture. Using qualitative data analysis, this study is written to identify whether or not the economic and ecological development in Aceh post-tsunami has met standards of sustainable development. Troubleshooting analysis is performed with statistical studies of a variety of documents compared to some facts and the evolving dynamics in the community that were recorded by media. Based on the central of statistics bureau, Aceh is one of the regions with the highest GDP in Indonesia and there are approximately 6 million hectares of forest and also rich in nature and marine resources. The result of this study shows Acehnese people actually trapped in poverty. It is very ironic because the majority of people are living in the location of natural resources such as forests and coastal areas, as well as natural gas industrial areas. Therefore, the Aceh Government should ensure the welfare of Acehnese people through an optimizing the utilization of the natural resources i.e. forest and coastal and also gas industry.
Highlights
The province of Aceh covers sixth million hectares of forest area and widespread of sea access
The economic growth indicator should correspond to social change, environmentally safe and ensure the sustainability of welfare for the generation
This is a result of poor development concept in Aceh, in the context of economic development and ecological sustainability which are not applying the sustainable development approach
Summary
The province of Aceh covers sixth million hectares of forest area and widespread of sea access. Aceh is blessed with fertile areas which are prospectively potential for agriculture industry such as palm oil, rubber, coffee, cacao, and clove, are some of the plantation features in Aceh. In such a given situation, Acehnese should be one of the most prosperous society in the country. In reality, the aids-based development failed in improving the Acehnese welfare This condition creates questions such as how the actual concept of development applies in Aceh. Is it using the pro-growth concept without considering welfare, justice, and social stability and is the government of Aceh applies the concept of sustainable development? Based on the previous discussion above, this study is written to investigate the development process implemented by the Aceh government, especially in term of economic development and ecology preservation are already within the sustainable development paradigm
