The Characteristics Of Creative Industries In Banda Aceh, Indonesia: An Overview

Abstrak

This paper provides an overview of the current situation of the characteristics of the creative industries in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. To illustrate the situation, we used a dataset in 2016 from the official publication of the Indonesian Agency for Creative Economy (BEKRAF). Based on the results of the analysis, we conclude that the majority of creative industries do not have legal status, internet media, business networks while managing their businesses. Therefore, we recommend that stakeholders, especially the government, universities, and entrepreneurs, develop it so that they can create jobs and increase regional income through local taxes.
