Enhancing Local Economy through Communal Intellectual Property Development in Aceh
Keywords:
Communal, Economic Development, Local WisdomAbstract
The local economy in Aceh remains dominated by natural resource–based sectors and informal activities with low economic value-added. On the other hand, Aceh possesses significant potential in the form of Communal Intellectual Property (CIP), such as traditional cultural expressions, traditional knowledge, genetic resources, and potential geographical indications and appellations of origin, all of which reflect the community’s identity and local wisdom. This article aims to analyze the role of CIP in enhancing Aceh’s local economy through conceptual and policy-based approaches. The analysis indicates that the development of CIP can serve as a driving force for an inclusive and sustainable culture-based economy, provided it is supported by proper systems of inventory, legal protection, institutional strengthening particularly of local customary bodies and community based commercialization strategies. Local governments should recognize CIP as a strategic asset in economic development planning through regulatory support, research, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Consequently, the development of CIP in Aceh not only strengthens the local economy but also reinforces cultural identity and economic self-reliance within the framework of Islamic values and Acehnese customary traditions.
