Disasters as social phenomena that occur when a community suffers from disruption and loss due to natural processes or technological accidents. Based on this definition, earthquake, tsunami and other disasters are not limited to natural disasters, it can also be a social disaster if the natural disaster is directly in contact with humans and causes material and immaterial losses. Indonesia as a country with the largest Muslim population in the world cannot be separated from Islam in various aspects of life, including the issue of disaster mitigation. for Indonesian Muslims, religious entities are perceived to be bigger than state entities. Therefore, the mitigation approach of science must be harmonized with religious teachings. With the result that natural disaster mitigation is widely accepted by the community. Contemporary Islamic scholars, especially those who have been involved in statistics and other related sciences, will dare to state that future estimates based on honest and correct statistical calculations can be regarded as reality, because according to scientific calculations it is relatively certain to occur. Therefore Fiqh anticipation as one of the mitigation management in Islam can take the form in the following three steps; (1) Reducing or avoiding the impact of losses from natural disaster hazards; (2) Ensure fast arrival of assistance to victims; (3) Achieve a quick and effective recovery of society.

The implementation of caning law in Aceh Province is still sporadic due to a lack of coordination among the government institutions involved in caning law. Then, the prison infrastructure to impose the canning law is also not ade-quate, and socialization has also not been fully carried out. Besides, in deter-mining the location of the caning, Islamic law requires the fulfillment of two principles namely “open space” and “visible” to the public. Furthermore, the law that guides the implementation of sharia in Aceh does not regulate detail of where the caning can be executed. Hence, the issues that need to be scruti-nized in this study are about shifting the norm from “open space" to “prison space” and why there is a disparity in determining the place of caning sentenc-es. This study uses a normative legal method by relying on secondary data. All collected data were analyzed by using qualitative analysis. The results show that there has been a shifting norm from "open space" to “prison space” in the application of the caning sentences in Aceh. This shift starts from the open area in the courtyard of the mosque to the prison area as a place to execute a caning sentence. This shifting also allows the people who meet certain criteria to wit-ness the execution of a caning sentence. In addition, there is also a disparity among the sharia courts due to the lack of facilities available in certain the sha-ria courts in Aceh.  Hence, the Aceh government needs to improve the facilities of the sharia courts to be able to execute caning sentences.

This paper aims to learn how the Qanun of Aceh, particularly Qanun No. 4 on Mukim and Qanun No. 5 on Gampong Government enforce Gampong as a government body. It further compares the hierarchical relationship between the qanun and the higher regulations in Indonesia such as Village Government Act No. 32 of 2004, Privileges of Aceh Act No. 44 of 1999, Special Autonomy No. 18 of 2001 and Aceh Government Act No. 11 of 2006. The study found that the Qanun integrates Acehnese identity coupled with the Islamic values into the Gampong institution. The Qanun on Gampong Government, in fact, does not negate any higher regulations in the Indonesian constitution. The principle of decentralization implemented post-Orde Baru requires a massive change in the government system in Indonesia from the centralized system of local state government, to local self-government and finally the decentralized system of the local community. The Qanun on Gampong government is in line with the local community spirit due to greater public participation channeled through Reusam Gampong. Reusam Gampong is the public aspiration, and its application shall not conflict with the higher regulation. In its cultural manifest, Resuam Gampong is an instrument that promotes the marriage between culture and religion into a single government body.

Purpose of the study:This study aims to determine the potential for economic growth of the parent and split regions after the implementation of the territorial split policy. It specifically looks at the economic position of parent and new regions in the Aceh province, identifies the superior sectors, the structure of regional economies, and interregional differences in economic performance in Aceh after the territorial splits. Methodology:This study used secondary data from BPS Aceh which will be further analyzed using the Klassen Typology, Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share (SS). Main Findings:Klassen typology analysis shows that there are three districts in the fast-progressing and fast-growing category, Central Aceh, West Aceh, and Nagan Raya. Nagan Raya is the only newly established district, formerly part of West Aceh. All parent and new regions have superior sector which should be put into priority by their regents/mayors. According to the findings, it can be concluded that the parent and split regions have financially benefited from the territorial split. Applications of this study:This study provide information to government stakeholders in Aceh and Indonesia in developing their annual state budget and development plan. Novelty:Aceh is one of the provinces in Indonesia who has many split regions. However, there are no studies examining the economic development of the split regions. This topic is very significant to be further studied in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the territorial split policy in Indonesia.

Paya Rebol protected forest serves as the buffer system of water springs source for the communities in several sub-districts around the forest, such as Bener Kelipah, Bandar and Syah main sub-districts. Unfortunately, illegal activity of converting the protected forest to horticultural agriculture (plant cultivation) still occurs to date. The research used was a descriptive-analytical method with an empirical juridical approach, aimed to examine the law in the real sense and investigate how the law performs in the community. The results showed that supervision conducted by the Aceh Department of Environment and Forestry has not been effective. Hence, illegal logging still occurs due to the economic needs, the lack of forest supervisory personnel, the customs of indigenous peoples, and the unclear boundaries of forest areas. Suggestions for the related authorities are to combine and maximize the preventive and repressive efforts, and early detection, to suppress the cases of encroachment and destruction in the Paya Rebol protected forest area. Abstrak: Hutan lindung Paya Rebol merupakan kawasan hutan yang menjadi sistem penyangga sumber mata air bagi masyarakat di beberapa kecamatan yang berada di sekitar kawasan hutan, seperti kecamatan Bener Kelipah, Bandar dan Syah utama, kegiatan perambahan dan pengrusakan hutan (illegal logging) dengan merubah dan mengalihfungsikan hutan lindung menjadi lahan pertanian hortikultura (budidaya tanaman) secara tidak sah, sampai saat ini masih marak terjadi di kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol walaupun sebelumnya Dinas lingkungan Hidup dan kehutanan Aceh bekerja sama dengan pihak kepolisian telah menindak lanjuti kasus perambahan di hutan lindung tersebut, yang terbukti melanggar ketentuan Undang-undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2013 tentang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Perusakan Hutan.Yang menjadi fokus permasalahan adalah apa faktor penyebab, masih maraknya kegiatan illegal logging yang mengalih fungsikan hutan lindung, bagaimana modus operandi dan vevendi terjadinya kegiatan  illegal logging, bagaimana sistem penerapan sanksi tindak pidana illegal logging yang terjadi di kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol, bagaimanakah upaya pencegahan dan penanggulangan terjadinya tindak pidana illegal logging di kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Metode Diskriptif analitis dengan pendekatan Yuridis empiris, yang bertujuan untuk melihat hukum dalam arti nyata dan meneliti bagaimana bekerjanya hukum dalam lingkungan masyarakat serta mengetahui bagaimana penerapan sanksi pidana terhadap kasus illegal logging tersebut. Hasil penelitian menujukan bahwa pengawasan yang dilakukan oleh Dinas lingkungan Hidup dan kehutanan Aceh belum efektif sehingga tindak pidana illegal logging masih terjadi yang disebabkan oleh kebutuhan ekonomi, kurangnya Personel aparat pengawas hutan, kebiasaan masyarakat adat, ketidak jelasan tapal batas kawasan hutan. Saran yang direkomendasikan hendakanya pihak pejabat terkait dapat mengkombinasikan dan memaksimalkan upaya-upaya preventif,upaya represif dan deteksi dini, yang diharapkan dapat terus menekan terjadinya kasus perambahan dan perusakan pada kawasan hutan lindung Paya Rebol.   Kata kunci: Tindak pidana,  Illegal logging, Hutan lindung,  Paya Rebol
