Southeast Aceh Regency (Indonesian : Kabupaten Aceh Tenggara) is a regency in the Aceh province of Indonesia. It is located on the island of Sumatra. In 1974, the Southeast Aceh Regency was created by being separated from the Central Aceh Regency; [2] however in 2002 the northern part of this regency was itself split away to form the new Gayo Lues Regency. The regency now covers an area of 4,242.04 square kilometres and had a population of 179,010 at the 2010 census [3] and 220,860 at the 2020 Census; [4] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 229,368. [1] The seat of the regency government is at the town of Kutacane (which forms Babussalam district).
The main commodities produced in the regency are palm oil, cacao, coconut, coffee, nutmeg, walnut, and pachouli oil [5] The main rivers are the Alas River and the Butan River. It contains the Leuser Ecosystem.
The original inhabitants of this regency are the Alas people. They use the Alas language and live under the customs (adat) of those people. However, the population of the Southeast Aceh Regency has become very diverse due to migration from other regencies of Aceh and beyond. Although this Regency is part of Aceh province, the Aceh people (an eastern coastal grouping) do not dominate this place.
Here are some other peoples other than Alas inhabiting the regency:
There are other smaller ethnic groups that are still new to the Regency and do not constitute a majority population elsewhere, such as Palembang Malay people.
The regency is bordered by the following regencies:
