Summary
Dari hasil penelusuran di lapangan, terdapat delapan versi folklor asal usul Kota Langsa yang berkembang di masyarakat. Kata Langsa tersebut berasal dari penggabungan dua kata, yaitu elang dan sa (penyebutan angkat satu dalam bahasa Aceh) menjadi ELangsa. Versi kedua berasal dari mulut ke mulut bahwa pada masa lalu terdapat dua buah kerajaan. Pada versi kedua ini dapat dipahami bahwa folkor asal usul suatu wilayah memang seringkali memiliki muatan politis. Versi keempat diketahui bahwa pada masa lalu Kolonial Belanda telah merencanakan untuk membangun Langsa dengan menggunakan master plan seperti Kota Bogor, sehingga kota ini merupakan satu-satunya kota dengan bentuk tata ruang awal yang relatif sangat baik di wilayah Aceh. Versi ini menunjukan gejala bahwa pada tradisional folklor dapat terjadi perubahan ke urban folklor seperti halnya ditunjukan oleh Radzi (2016) terhadap folklor di Malaysia yang banyak berakar dari periode kolonial. Sebagian masyarakat langsa meyakini bahwa sarang burung tersebut berada di salah satu pohon yang terletak di Lapangan Merdeka Kota Langsa. Ia menyebut bahwa keberadaan lingkungan fisik, flora dan fauna dalam bahasa merupakan cerminan pengetahuan (kognisi) dan perasaan (afeksi) dan pengolahan masyarakat terhadap jenis pembentuk ekologi wilayahnya (Isnendes, 2015)
