This research discusses the rights of the community in geothermal energy management in BenarMeriah. Geothermal management with low cost and environmental friendliness to support the economic progress of the community. Article 4 (2) of Law Number 21 of 2014 concerning Geothermal states that the control of geothermal by the state as referred to in paragraph (1) is organized by the Government, provincial governments, and district/city governments in accordance with their authority and based on the principle of utilization. Opportunities for the community to manage and utilize geothermal energy in Benar Meriah are still open, but the reality has not been properly utilized. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the rights of the community, geothermal energy management to improve the economy of the community in Benar, Meriah, Central Aceh. This study uses a sociological juridical approach that aims to look more deeply at the community's rights to the management and utilization of geothermal energy in Benar.This research is supported by primary and secondary data. Primary data was obtained by conducting field research in Benar, Meriah, Central Aceh Regency. While secondary data was obtained by searching the literature and regulations related to the focus of the research, the data collection technique was carried out through structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with the parties involved in this research. Thus, the community's rights in the management of BenarMeriah have not been utilized because there are obstacles that hinder the use of geothermal energy in the form of hot water in the form of land ownership conflicts. In addition, the public has not been informed, socialization about geothermal energy can be used as electricity and for other business aspects. To overcome the obstacles, the local government and the gampong apparatus intervened to resolve internal conflicts over land ownership and educate the community on the use of the energy contained on their land on a simple scale and which limits they can use for the progress of the community's economy in general.
