Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengisolasi dan menghitung kelimpahan koloni bakteri Vibrio sp. dari air tambak udang dengan 5 lokasi yang berbeda di Kecamatan Simpang Kabupaten Pidie, Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksploratif dan pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampling. Isolasi bakteri menggunakan media selektif TCBSA. Perhitungan kelimpahan koloni Vibrio sp. menggunakan metode Total Plate Count. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelimpahan bakteri Vibrio sp. di Kecamatan Kembang Tanjong untuk kelima kategori lokasi tambak tergolong aman (104 cfu/ml) yaitu 6,2 x 102 – 2,6 x 103 cfu/ml. Berbeda halnya dengan tambak di Simpang Tiga yang masih dapat dikatakan aman hanya tambak K2T2 (2,9 x 103 cfu/ml), K4T2 (2,2 x 104 cfu/ml, K2T1; K5T; K5T2 (2,3 x 104 cfu/ml) karena kelimpahannya 8,34 x 104 cfu/ml, sedangkan bakteri Vibrio lainnya sudah bersifat patogen (105 cfu/ml). Hasil pengukuran kualitas air tambak menunjukkan rata-rata nilai salinitas 10,67-30,33 ppt, suhu 27,9-33,8 oC, pH air 7,65-8,45, DO 5,35-8,42 dan kecerahan 20-55 cm.

Based on Article 5 paragraph (1) of Qanun Number 7 of 2010 concerning Fees for Acquisition of Land and Building Rights, in the inclusion of a sale and purchase deed made by PPAT, it must be following the actual transaction price. But in practice, PPAT was still found which decreased the value of land and building sale and purchase transactions.

This study uses a type of empirical legal research. The results of the study indicate that the notary / PPAT is responsible for the incompatibility of transaction values ??contained in the deed of sale and purchase which do not match the actual price. The notary / PPAT reason in determining the value of the sale and purchase transaction of land and buildings is not following the actual price due to unfair competition between fellow notaries / PPAT, constraints related to taxpayers, and a sense of solidarity among notaries. PPAT merupakan pejabat yang diangkat oleh Negara dalam menjalankan tugas jabatan yang diantaranya berkaitan dengan fungsi pelayanan publik dalam bidang hukum. Hal ini berkaitan dengan kewenangannya dalam pembuatan akta jual beli. Berdasarkan Pasal 5 ayat (1) Qanun Nomor 7 Tahun 2010 Tentang Bea Perolehan Hak Atas Tanah dan Bangunan, dalam pencantuman akta jual beli yang dibuat oleh PPAT haruslah sesuai dengan harga transaksi yang sebenarnya. Namun dalam praktiknya masih ditemukan PPAT yang melakukan penurunan nilai transaksi jual beli tanah dan bangunan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan tanggung jawab notaris selaku PPAT dalam penetapan nilai transaksi jual beli tanah dan bangunan, dan alasan notaris selaku PPAT dalam penetapan nilai transaksi jual beli tanah  dan bangunan tidak sesuai dengan harga sebenarnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian hukum empiris. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa notaris/PPAT bertanggung jawab terhadap ketidaksesuaian nilai transaksi yang terdapat dalam akta jual beli yang tidak sesuai dengan yang harga yang sebenarnya. Alasan notaris/PPAT dalam penetapan nilai transaksi jual beli tanah dan bangunan tidak sesuai dengan harga sebenarnya adalah karena adanya persaingan tidak sehat antara sesama rekan notaris/PPAT, adanya kendala yang berhubungan dengan wajib pajak, dan adanya rasa kesetiakawanan antara sesama notaris.
