Abstract

The Aceh conflict, one of the longest separatist struggles in Indonesia, lasted for nearly three decades and caused severe social, political, and economic consequences. The turning point occurred after the 2004 tsunami, which opened the door for peace negotiations between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). This study aims to analyze the political transformation of GAM following the signing of the 2005 Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), focusing on the dynamics of demobilization, reintegration, and democratization in Aceh. Using a historical approach and library research, data were collected from primary sources such as official documents and archival records, as well as secondary sources including books, journals, and reports. The findings show that the MoU Helsinki not only ended armed conflict but also initiated significant political transformation by allowing the establishment of local political parties and expanding Aceh’s autonomy. However, challenges persist in reintegration programs, governance of special autonomy funds, and center local relations. While GAM successfully transitioned from armed resistance to formal politics, issues of social justice, economic inequality, and elite dominance continue to hinder sustainable peace. This study highlights that Aceh’s experience offers important lessons for conflict transformation and peacebuilding in post-conflict societies.

Abstract

The Integrated DigiWisata Program aims to encourage institutional strengthening and digital transformation of Peunaga Pasi Village in West Aceh Regency as a coastal tourism village based on education, culture, and the environment. This village has a unique geographic character with a combination of beaches, swamps, and a strong tsunami history, as well as a number of local attractions such as a mini waterboom, traditional salt tourism, and educational rides. However, this potential has not been managed in an integrated and professional manner. The main problems faced include the weak institutional structure of the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMG) and Tourism Awareness Groups (Pokdarwis), the absence of a digital management and financial system, low digital promotion capacity, the lack of integration of tourist attractions into one visit package, and the lack of a waste management system in the tourist area. This has led to low tourist visits and a suboptimal contribution to the local creative economy. Through a collaborative and research-based approach, this empowerment program carries out a series of strategic interventions, ranging from the preparation of institutional documents and BUMG Standard Operating Procedures, training in digital financial recording systems, activating tourism village websites and social media, to building educational showrooms and procuring waste shredders. All activities are designed to strengthen the community's capacity to manage local potential sustainably and independently. This program supports the achievement of the SDGs, the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) of Higher Education, and RIRN's focus on social innovation and strengthening community-based economies. The community empowerment program is designed to run for three years, with the first year being the foundational stage for institutional and technological strengthening, followed by business diversification and digital promotion development, and the third year ending with the independence and model replication phase.

Abstract

This study examines social conflicts arising from the poverty alleviation program through the provision of livable housing assistance for fishermen families in East Simeulue District, Simeulue Regency. The research aims to identify the sources of social conflict among fishermen receiving and not receiving housing assistance and to analyze the mechanisms used to resolve these conflicts. Grounded in Ralf Dahrendorf’s conflict theory, this study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving fishermen, community leaders, and local government representatives. The findings reveal that social conflicts emerged due to feelings of exclusion and unequal treatment experienced by fishermen who did not receive assistance, scarcity of resources, inadequate communication regarding program rules and eligibility criteria, and ineffective leadership characterized by unfair decision-making. Additionally, social jealousy and the presence of provocateurs within the fishing community intensified tensions. Conflict resolution was conducted through deliberative processes emphasizing communication facilitation between conflicting parties, primarily through arbitration and mediation as third-party interventions. Furthermore, local wisdom known as “salah manyamba” gawai mangisi” played a significant role in resolving disputes by involving respected community figures and prioritizing family-based deliberation. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of transparent governance, effective communication, and the integration of local wisdom in minimizing social conflict and ensuring the equitable implementation of poverty alleviation programs in coastal communities.
