Gampong and Local Reform in Aceh
Abstract: The passage of Act
No. 18, 2001 on regional autonomy and followed up with the issuance of Qanun
No. 4, 2003 on mukim, and Qanun No. 5, 2003 on gampong and reinforced by UUPA
No. 11, 2006 on Acehnese government is a history of social identity of Acehnese
society, which has been neglected during the conflict. The regional government
has made some breakthroughs and one of the breakthroughs was gampong
revitalization through a program called “back to gampong”. The study aims to
answer the dynamic of revitalization of gampong institution in the middle of
special autonomy implementation and the implementation of Qanun gampong in the
administration of gampong institution. The study shows that the implementation
of program “back to gampong” encourages the strengthening process of gampong
institution as well as weakens the institution itself. The development of
gampong that focuses on physical aspect has created coordination gap among
officials of gampong institution in planning system and financial management.
The tug in the mechanism of financial development and management at gampong has
created a space for the involvement and influence from gampong elite in gampong
governance. Nonuniform honorary allocation for gampong governmental apparatus
is one of indicators of weak role and function of gampong cultural institution
because the previous inherent communal values have been calculated
economically.
