Abstract

This study discusses the expansion of the candidate for the New Autonomous Region of Panton Labu City, originating from the wishes of the people in the five sub-districts in the eastern tip of North Aceh Regency. This expansion occurred because the community felt that development in the area did not receive enough attention from the Government and was very lagging behind in the development of health, infrastructure, education, culture, and even public policy. In addition, the area is very far from the central Government, and the distance to the area takes a lot of time. The formulation of the problem in this study was the cause of the expansion in Panton Labu City and the political orientation of the expansion of the Candidate for the New Autonomous Region of Panton Labu City. The purpose of the study was to identify the problems that caused the expansion of Panton Labu City and determine the political orientation of the expansion of the New Autonomous Region of Panton Labu City. This expansion occurred because the community of five sub-districts in the eastern tip of North Aceh Regency saw a lack of attention from the Central Government in development (education, infrastructure, health services, and public services) and culture compared to the existing regions in the Central Government area of North Aceh Regency. Second, the political orientation of the expansion of Panton Labu City was only to improve the welfare of the people in the region to be more advanced. However, some move to politics because the expansion committee members were not only from ordinary people but also from the political elites. Data collection techniques used were interviews, Documentation, and data analysis. The results showed that the political orientation of the expansion of the Panton Labu City CDOB had two aspects, namely purely for the realization of public welfare and the opportunity to gain power in government by politicians from Panton Labu. The expansions formation and mechanism were determined at the ratification of Panton Labu City by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The obstacle of the expansion for the Panton Labu City CDOB area was due to differences in Political Orientation in the regional expansion realization.
