Culture Analysis in the Implementation Dynamics of Qanun No. 05 the Year 2011 Concerning the Location of Livestock (Peruweren) in Bener Meriah Regency

The government of Bener Meriah Regency has established a livestock area through Qanun No. 05 of 2011 regarding the location of livestock (peruweren) which aims to fulfill the community's animal protein needs and efforts to preserve traditional buffalo farming practices in the Gayo community. It has been ten years since it was enacted, the Qanun is still not optimal in its implementation to date. Many problems occur in the field, both cultural and structural. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the social and cultural factors that influence the implementation process of Qanun No. 05 of 2011. This type of research is exploratory, where the aspect of the study focuses on extracting information that can help identify obstacles in the implementation of Qanun. The approach used is ethnography based on a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques are through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, field surveys, FGDs, and document studies. The results of the study show that the determination of livestock areas in Uber-Uber and Blang Paku through Qanun 05 of 2011 carried out by the Bener Meriah Regency government is a form of effort to advance the livestock sector and efforts to preserve customs. In its implementation, there are many dynamics and problems so that the implementation of the qanun does not run optimally to date, including 1) The dissemination of the qanun is still very limited so that the information that reaches farmers is also very limited; 2) Overlapping occupations of land in the livestock area, and 3) The local wisdom contained in the Peruweren is not accommodated in the management of livestock areas according to Qanun 05 of 2011.
