Communication Pattern between Regional Government and Local Government in Establishing Traditional Institution

Abstract

Poverty alleviation is the government's effort to ensure the survival of the nation and state. One effort to maintain food security is to increase agricultural productivity in various sectors. In terms of agricultural management, Keujruen Blang is really needed as a Gampong traditional figure and institution whose function is to regulate and manage all problems related to the agricultural sector. Unfortunately, in Blang Geunang village, West Aceh, there is no Keujruen Blang, which has resulted in agricultural productivity decreasing and the community being below the poverty line. The aim of this research is to see the pattern of organizational communication relationships between regional governments and village governments in responding to the Keujruen Blang traditional institution as Goal-18 in the SDGs. This research method uses qualitative with a descriptive approach and uses purposive sampling technique. The research informants consisted of the Head of the Agriculture Service, the Head of the DPMG Service, the Aceh Traditional Council, the Head of Kaway XVI District, and the Village Head. The results show that communication patterns between regional governments regarding rice farming governance have not been optimally organized. This problem is due to the existence of inappropriate communication patterns between the regional government and the local government, which has an impact on the difficulty in establishing the legality of the Keujruen Blang traditional institution.
