The Dynamics and Future of Qanun in the Welfare of the People of Aceh

After two decades of implementation of the special autonomy in Aceh, with Islamic Sharia becoming part of its legal system, some of Aceh's problems prevailed, especially those related to people's welfare. Whether the special autonomy granted to Aceh can improve the welfare of the people remains questionable. As a legal instrument in Aceh, the Qanun seemed to be unable to improve the people's welfare. Despite having enacted Qanun Number 11 of 2013 on Social Welfare, Aceh is still one of the ten poorest regions in Indonesia. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the Qanun in improving the welfare of the people. As such, this study is important to be carried out to find out the relevance of Qanun in improving the welfare of the people in Aceh. This study aimed to answer these questions: (1) What are the roles of Qanun in Aceh's special autonomy era? (2) What is the future of Qanun in creating welfare in Aceh? The purpose of this study was to (1) describe the role of Qanun in Aceh’s special autonomy era, and (2) predict the future of Qanun in creating welfare in Aceh, as well as provide recommendations to solve problems related to the ineffective implementation of Qanun. This study used a qualitative approach, and the type of this research was normative-juridical. The focus of the study was the special autonomy in Aceh and the role of Qanun in improving the people's welfare. Data were taken from primary and secondary legal materials using literature reviews. A triangulation was used to check the validity of the data, and the interactive model was used to analyze the data. This study found that Aceh already has several Qanuns regulating matters related to the welfare of the people. However, to attain a prosperous future for the people of Aceh, more Qanuns regulating various aspects of the economy are needed.

The Paradox of Plenty Challenges in Regional Development in Aceh After Two Decades of Special Autonomy

Aceh as a region rich in natural resources is still trapped in the paradox of plenty phenomenon. This is ironic if you look at Aceh, which is the poorest region on the island of Sumatra and the welfare of its people is low. This is of course a stark contrast that natural resource wealth should be able to make Aceh more prosperous from various sides. Law No. 18 of 2001 concerning special autonomy for Aceh was basically born as an attempt by the government to bring Aceh out of Aceh from the paradox of plenty. This means that none other than the goal of these efforts is welfare for Aceh. This type of research uses a qualitative approach with library research methods. Meanwhile, the stages of this research consist of problem identification, literature search, research aims and objectives, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, and research reporting. The results showed that special autonomy was not able to bring Aceh out of the paradox of plenty phenomenon. This means that the goals of welfare by creating low poverty, high HDI, high IDI, and low unemployment still seem to have not been completed. In addition, the presence of special autonomy arrangements for Aceh turned out to give birth to new challenges in the field of governance. So far, the disbursement of special autonomy funds has not been able to be managed evenly so economic and social inequalities still occur in Aceh. There is a tendency that the implementation of Aceh's special autonomy for the past two decades has been exploited by certain politically related groups. The DOKA disbursement, which began in 2008 from the central government, has not been felt by the people of Aceh to this day. This finding is certainly a critical reflection for the government to evaluate this asymmetric arrangement in a comprehensive and sustainable manner for the welfare of Aceh.

Efektifitas Pelaksanaan Itsbat Nikah Sebagai Upaya Perlindungan Terhadap Istri Di Kabupaten Aceh Utara

Itsbat nikah carried out by the Aceh Government are regulated in Aceh Governor Regulation Number 25 of 2017 which states that the Implementation of Marriage Legalization (Itsbat Nikah) is carried out with the aim of helping people in Aceh who marry during the conflict, tsunami disaster and poor communities in obtaining marriage certificates. However, the implementation of itsbat nikah carried out by the Government has not been carried out according to the target. Especially in North Aceh Regency, there are still many married couples who have not yet been married. So this will greatly affect the legal protection of the wife. Therefore, researcher is interested in examining how the procedure for implementing itsbat nikah in North Aceh Regency is, what are the inhibiting factors for the ineffectiveness of itsbat nikah in North Aceh Regency, and how the impact of implementing itsbat nikah as an effort to protect wives in North Aceh Regency is. The research method of this study used field research with an empirical juridical approach. The results of this study stated that the procedure for implementing an integrated itsbat nikah in North Aceh Regency started from registration at the District KUA, verifying files and then being tried by the Syar'iyah Court and after that the decision was issued. As for itsbat independent marriage, the procedure is the same as in other civil cases. Based on data on the itsbat nikah case in North Aceh Regency in 2015-2021 that the implementation of itsbat nikah in North Aceh Regency has not been effective, because it is not in accordance with the targets that have been determined at the beginning, there are still 24.82% who have not been certified for marriage. This is due to the limited budget from the Government and the Covid-19 that has occurred in Indonesia. So that the implementation of the itsbat nikah greatly impacts the legal protection of the wife, such as the wife's rights in terms of livelihood, inheritance, joint property, and so on.

Analisis Indeks Kesesuaian Garam (IKG) Untuk Menentukan Kesesuaian Lokasi Produksi Garam di Provinsi Aceh

Salt for the people of Aceh is a very important commodity. Salt is not only used for household consumption, it is even used by industry as an additional raw material for production so that the level of demand for salt is now increasing as a result of a deficit in supply due to a shortage of stock. This situation has forced the government to import salt to meet domestic needs. One of the factors that determine the success of salt production is the land and location that is suitable. This study aims to obtain the Salt Suitability Index (IKG) which is used as a reference for analyzing the suitability of salt production locations so that there are no wrong targets in decision making. This research was conducted with a field survey in collecting primary data with a research period from March to December 2019. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with Conformity Index analysis. The results showed that eight districts in Aceh consisted of Aceh Besar, Pidie, Pidie Jaya, Bireuen, North Aceh, East Aceh, Abdya and South Aceh districts which were used as the leading areas for salt production in accordance with the total IKG value of each location> 85% or category (S1). This study reports the first IKG analysis of salt production locations and fields in Aceh that may be of use to policy makers and further study by other researchers.

Kriminalisasi Jarimah Liwath Melalui Qanun Jinayah Sebagai Upaya Mengendalikan Kebebasan Amoral Manusia

This study discusses the limitations of the freedom of will of every community, because everyone's freedom must be limited when dealing with the interests of state security, public order, the human rights of others with a balance of morals and religious values. The arrest of the perpetrators of jarimah liwath in Aceh indicates that these homosexuals still exist even though the Qanun Jinayah has been enacted. Prior to the enactment of this qanun, these people were supported by the Violet Gray institution which tried to promote the rights of homosexuals in Aceh, but in the end they were expelled from Aceh. The problem discussed is how to regulate the Qanun Jinayah regarding Homosexuals in terms of the aspect of moral freedom of the Acehnese people. This research is a literature study using a normative approach which is then explained descriptively. The results of this study explain that the regulation of the Qanun Jinayah against the criminalization of homosexual acts when viewed from the aspect of the moral freedom of the Acehnese people is very appropriate. This can be seen from the formulation of jarimah liwath in Qanun Jinayah with the aim of providing protection to morals. Morality and morality are very close. The people of Aceh are born into a Muslim majority. And Islam strongly rejects the immoral behavior of homosexuals, which is very dangerous for damage and not maintaining the dignity of humans and their descendants.

Politics of Law in Qanun Reformulation in Aceh: The Establishment of Wali Nanggroe Institution

The Wali Nanggroe Institution is an authoritative religious local institution in Aceh, Indonesia. This Institution was found as a mandate from the Helsinki MoU and it was stated into Law No. 11 of 2006 concerning Aceh Governance which was later translated into Qanun No. 8 of 2012 concerning the Wali Nanggroe Institution. The establishment of Wali Nanggroe Institution brought some controversial issues in constitutional law in Indonesia, one of which is the requirement to become the institutional leader of Wali Nanggroe as regulated in the Qanun of the Wali Nanggroe Institution. This article will focus on the reformulation of the Qanun of the Wali Nanggroe Institution in Aceh by looking at political and legal aspects. This article is qualitative research with a non-doctrinal legal approach. The finding of this article indicates that the Qanun of the Wali Nanggroe Institution has been renewed twice. Nevertheless, there has been no significant renewal in the field of requirements to become an institutional leader of Wali Nanggroe. Summing up, this article reveals that the subordinates of the reform have not touched on substantive matters relating to the public interest, resulting in the absence of legal certainty for the people of Aceh.

INTEGRASI ANTARA PEMERINTAH DAN ULAMA DALAM PENANGANAN COVID-19 DI ACEH

This paper will discuss the integration between the government and the ulama in handling Covid-19 in Aceh. Integration becomes a complete unity if it is involved by multi stakeholders, especially the ulama. Ulama are the most important unifying factor in overcoming differences in public understanding of the Covid-19 in Aceh. This research method uses a description of qualitative analysis, which in this paper aims to find the relationship between the ulama actor network and the government in forming social constructions as an effort to deal with Covid-19 in a preventive, educational and repressive. The findings show that the ulama are considered important because they have charisma and are able to carry fatwas of truth according to the Quran and have a large mass. Characteristically, the people of Aceh have a close relationship with the ulama so that the religious approach is easier to rationalize than the normative, regulatory, and budget-based government approach. For this reason, the ulama are considered to be more capable of controlling the situation in influencing the community to ward off various phenomena so far, such as the Acehnese people do not believe in Covid-19 and still ignore the recommended health protocol from the government.

Exploration of Aceh traditional food: Chemical quality characterization of asam sunti in Banda Aceh

As a result of its diverse culture and nature, Indonesia is rich in traditional cuisine. In Aceh province, located in the western part of Indonesia, there is a special condiment known as asam sunti, made of fermented bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi L.). Asam sunti is used as a spice to give a sour taste and specific aroma in Acehnese cuisine. Although asam sunti is widely used by the people in Aceh, but until now there is no standard quality that shows the quality of asam sunti. The quality of a sam sunti products that existing on the market is very diverse, especially in colour and texture. This study aims to analyse the chemical quality of asam sunti obtained from several markets in the city of Banda Aceh. Samples were obtained from 5 markets, namely Gampong Baroe, Peunayong, Seutui, Ulee Kareng and Gampong Peuniti Market. Chemical parameters analysed were moisture content, ash content, salt content and titrated acid content. The result shows that asam sunti in Banda Aceh city market has diverse chemical characteristic with moisture content range 21.38%-33.8% with average 29.48%, ash content 0.13%-0.45% with average 0.27%, salt content 6.11%-18.34% with average 8.15% and titrated acid content 7.5%-14.5% with average 11%. This chemical data needs to be correlated in further research with the level of consumer preference through descriptive and hedonic sensory tests so that later a complete asam sunti quality character can be obtained and can be made into a standard that is practically and scientifically acceptable.

Disaster education through the adaptation of the werewolf game and acehnese local wisdom

Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia that is vulnerable to several disasters caused by natural hazards. The earthquake and tsunami in 2004 have given considerable losses to the people of Aceh and impacted people’s lives and education process. Some of the impacts include the deaths of tens of thousands of students and teachers and 1,488 schools damaged, which disrupted the education process of 150,000 students. In addition, the people of Aceh are also faced with disasters caused by non-natural hazards, namely is the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Aceh has local wisdom, such as Rumoh Aceh, patchouli, jamblang, and Nandong Smong, which has been known from ancient times across generations and has been proved by research for their benefits in disaster mitigation. This study had developed a game to introduce disaster mitigation combined with local wisdom in Aceh called Serigala Siaga Bencana (SERGANA), adopted and modified from the werewolf game. The validity test of this game involved 15 students from Dayah Darul Hikmah, who were then fostered as a team of students for disaster preparedness with knowledge, understanding, and practice of preparedness in dealing with disasters. The results showed an increase in the score from pre-test to post-test after playing the game SERGANA.

The Utilization of Wuluh Starfruit for Making Facial Cleansing Solid Soap

Belimbing wuluh is one of the species in the family (Averrhoa). It is estimated that this plant comes from tropical America, this plant grows well in its country of origin, while Indonesia is mostly kept in the yard and sometimes grows wild in the fields or forest edges. In general, wuluh starfruit for the people of Aceh is used as a spice called sunti acid. Starfruit can also be used as a raw material for making soap which has properties to inhibit premature aging and overcome acne problems because starfruit contains vitamins A and C.Belimbing wuluh is also known as a plant that grows in the yards of Acehnese houses, which every time it bears fruit it will produce quite a lot of fruit, if it is not used for making processed products, the fruit will rot on the tree or fall on the ground. Based on the abundant raw materials, this research will focus on "Utilization of Starfruit for Making Facial Cleansing Solid Soap". The purpose of this research is to make solid soap with additional ingredients of starfruit, and produce solid facial soap from starfruit in the form of face wash sticks so that it is easy to use. The research method used is an experimental method which produces three samples that meet the 2016 SNI standard with a moisture content of 10% and a degree of acidity (pH) 10. From the three samples, the first sample had a hardness that matches the characteristics of solid soap.
