Abstract

Street children remain a critical social issue in Indonesia, particularly in Aceh Province, where cultural, economic, and institutional factors shape their vulnerability. This study explores the lived experiences of street children in Aceh and identifies the underlying factors that perpetuate their street involvement. A qualitative embedded case study was conducted using semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis. A total of 41 participants were involved, consisting of street children, caregivers, and family members. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted in shelters, community centers, and street locations to capture diverse lived experiences and perspectives. Non-participant observations were carried out to explore daily routines, interactions, and coping strategies in natural settings. Additionally, relevant institutional and community documents were analyzed to provide contextual understanding and triangulate the data. All interviews were audio-recorded with participants’ consent and transcribed verbatim for thematic analysis. Data were analysed thematically and triangulated across sources.  Five interrelated factors emerged: family dysfunction, the culture of giving, poverty, criminal exploitation, and weak institutional support. Street children often transition from unsafe family environments to street life, which provides temporary survival but exposes them to exploitation and trauma. Placement in childcare institution orphanages offers safety but presents challenges of adjustment, lack of family support, and insufficient psychosocial services. Reintegration into society remains fragile due to the absence of structured follow-up support. The phenomenon of street children in Aceh is sustained by cultural, economic, and systemic factors. A holistic intervention is required, integrating family strengthening, culturally sensitive community engagement, and trauma-informed institutional care.

Abstract

Anak jalanan merupakan kelompok rentan yang menghadapi berbagai permasalahan sosial, ekonomi, dan keluarga. Di Aceh, fenomena anak jalanan masih ditemukan meskipun terdapat regulasi yang melarang aktivitas mengemis dan eksploitasi anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman hidup anak jalanan di Aceh serta faktor-faktor yang mendorong mereka hidup di jalanan. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi. Partisipan terdiri dari anak jalanan, orang tua, pengasuh, dan staf panti asuhan yang dipilih secara purposive. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi lapangan. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan metode Colaizzi. Ditemukan tiga tema utama, yaitu: (1) pengalaman anak hidup di jalanan, (2) fenomena anak jalanan di Aceh, dan (3) dinamika dukungan sosial dan adaptasi. Faktor utama yang melatarbelakangi kehidupan anak di jalanan meliputi kemiskinan, kekerasan dalam keluarga, perceraian orang tua, eksploitasi, serta minimnya perlindungan sosial. Anak-anak membangun solidaritas kelompok sebagai mekanisme bertahan hidup. Pengalaman anak jalanan di Aceh bersifat kompleks dan multidimensional.
