Düsum

Düsum is a village located in the Lhokseumawe region of Aceh, Indonesia. It is situated in a low-lying coastal area, and like many communities in the region, it has been affected by coastal erosion and rising sea levels. The village's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with many residents cultivating rice and other crops. Fishing also plays a role in the local livelihood.

The community of Düsum consists of a relatively small population, and life in the village follows traditional patterns. Access to basic services, such as education and healthcare, can be a challenge in more remote areas like Düsum, though efforts are often made by local government and non-governmental organizations to improve these facilities. The cultural heritage of the Acehnese people is present in Düsum, influencing customs and daily life.

In recent years, Düsum, along with other coastal villages in Aceh, has been the focus of discussions and projects aimed at addressing environmental challenges. These initiatives often involve community participation in building resilience against natural disasters and adapting to climate change impacts. The village's connection to the sea and its agricultural landscape are defining features of its identity and the way of life for its inhabitants.
