Abstract

This paper examines the efforts to preserve cultural heritage in Aceh, Indonesia, with a specific focus on Gampong Pande, one of the oldest and most historically significant areas in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. As a site of early Islamic civilization in the region, Gampong Pande holds valuable tangible and intangible cultural assets, including ancient tombs, artifacts, oral traditions, and Islamic scholarly heritage. However, these cultural resources face increasing threats due to urban development, environmental degradation, and a lack of comprehensive preservation strategies. The study explores how the legal frameworks at the national and regional levels, particularly the implementation of Qanun (Acehnese regional regulations), are employed to protect and manage cultural heritage. These legal instruments provide a foundation for cultural governance, yet their effectiveness often depends on enforcement mechanisms and institutional coordination. In parallel, this study emphasizes the critical role of local communities in cultural preservation. It highlights how the residents of Gampong Pande have initiated grassroots movements to protect historical sites, resist commercial encroachment, and revive cultural practices. These initiatives demonstrate the importance of community participation, local wisdom, and intergenerational knowledge transfer in heritage conservation. This research underscores the need for a more integrated and participatory approach that combines top-down legal policies with bottom-up community action. It calls for stronger collaboration among government agencies, civil society, academic institutions, and local leaders to ensure the sustainable preservation of cultural heritage in Aceh. In conclusion, the preservation of Gampong Pande’s heritage means protecting physical structures and maintaining the region’s historical identity, spiritual legacy, and cultural continuity amid ongoing modernization and change. Keywords: Cultural Heritage, Aceh, Gampong Pande.

Abstract

Kasab or kasab cloth, is a traditional textile embroidered with various types of local motifs in Keude Blang Village, Seunagan Timur District, Nagan Raya Regency, Aceh. However, the cultural richness of this society has never been scientifically researched. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out the types of motifs and the preservation of objects by the community and local government in that area. This is qualitative research, data collection involved observation, interviewing, and documentation. The results showed that kasab is one of the traditions for embroidering motifs on traditional textile surfaces. The use of gold thread in the components of traditional ceremonies not only provides aesthetic value, but also complements the meaning conveyed through symbols as a medium of public communication. The kasab motifs that are always embroidered in the Keude Blang Ara Village community include the bungong uret, bungong meulu, bungong pucuk pakis, and pucuk rembong (bamboo flower) motifs. Kasab preservation in Keude Blang Ara Village continues to be carried out by the local community and supported by the government. Preserving local culture (kasab) involves creating dynamic expressions and adapting to changing developmental situations to preserve cultural, artistic, and traditional qualities. However, with the support of the government, kasab has become something interesting, so that nowadays the demand for producing kasab is increasing.

Abstract

Our study portrays burial rituals practiced by Aceh Province, Indonesia, as this ethnic group has distinctive traditions for burying deceased members of society due to the intertwining of cultures and religions in Aceh. The intertwining of the Islamic tenet with the local cultures has constructed the burial rituals in Aceh differently from any Islamic community in Indonesia. To discover the ritual’s distinction as this study’s focus, we explored three aspects of the rituals: processes, meanings, and implications. We integrated a qualitative approach through an ethnographic study by observing three burial rituals and interviewing 45 informants across the province. As a result, the processes covered initial meetings, grave cleansing, ceremonious announcement, feast, and pilgrimage. Regarding the ritual’s meanings, we revealed that the Acehnese people practiced the burial rituals to expect God’s blessing and forgiveness for the deceased, represent gratitude and homage toward the left family, affirm the local customs, and consolidate kinship relations. A for the implication, the series of rituals in burying a dead person in Aceh serves as a way to establish a vertical relationship from people to God, along with a horizontal relationship, from person to person, which contains local wisdom representing the identity of Aceh. The urgency of burial rituals reflects communities’ harmony and adherence to cultural and religious beliefs regardless of any condition.

Abstract

This study examines the Jalateh tradition as a medium of tulak bala (warding off misfortune) in the community of Sawang District, South Aceh Regency. The Jalateh tradition is a form of local wisdom carried out annually during the month of Safar, especially on the last Wednesday night (Rabu abeh), as a communal effort to seek protection from diseases and disasters. This research employs a qualitative method with an inductive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the Jalateh tradition is performed by walking around the village while reciting the Ya Latif prayer, shalawat, and verses of the Qur’an led by the teungku imum, followed by a communal prayer gathering near the river. This tradition not only functions as a religious practice to seek safety and protection from Allah SWT but also serves to strengthen social solidarity and preserve the cultural identity of the community. The existence of the Jalateh tradition reflects the integration of adat, culture, and Islamic values in the life of the South Acehnese society.

Abstract

The Aceh referendum discourse in 1999 emerged as a significant political movement that reflected the collective aspirations of the Acehnese people amid prolonged conflict and strained relations between Aceh and the Indonesian central government. The discourse gained momentum following widespread dissatisfaction with political marginalization, economic inequality, and allegations of human rights violations during the Military Operations Area (DOM) period. This study aims to analyze the historical development of the Aceh referendum discourse and identify the factors that contributed to its failure. This research employs a qualitative approach by integrating historical methods with oral history. Data was collected through interviews with individuals involved in the referendum movement and were supported by literature reviews, archival materials, and official documents. These sources were critically analyzed to reconstruct historical events and interpret the dynamics surrounding the referendum movement. The findings indicate that the referendum discourse was rooted in long-standing historical grievances and evolved into a broad social movement supported by students, civil society organizations, and sections of the Acehnese community. Despite gaining significant public support, the movement failed to achieve its objectives due to limited political preparedness, the absence of a clear constitutional and legal framework, concerns regarding national disintegration, and strong resistance from the central government. The study contributes to the fields of political history, democracy, and conflict resolution by providing a deeper understanding of how local political aspirations interact with state interests. It also offers insights into the challenges faced by self-determination movements within a unitary state system.
