Abstrak: Mahasiswa perantauan seringkali menghadapi tantangan unik terkait keamanan di lingkungan baru, seperti adaptasi dengan dinamika keamanan setempat, ancaman kejahatan jalanan, dan kekhawatiran tentang keamanan pribadi. Melihat fenomena kriminalitas di Banda Aceh dan dampaknya terhadap persepsi keamanan, penting untuk memahami bagaimana mahasiswa perantauan menginterpretasikan persepsi keamanan mereka di kota tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pengalaman mahasiswa perantauan dalam menghadapi kriminalitas di lingkungan baru mereka dan bagaimana mereka menafsirkan keamanan di Banda Aceh. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode naratif. Prosedur pengambilan responden menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan jumlah partisipan lima orang. Data penelitian dikumpulkan melalui wawancara (indepth interview) kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis naratif oleh Creswell (2023). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat variasi dalam pengalaman dan persepsi keamanan terhadap kriminalitas di Banda Aceh. Terdapat perbedaan dalam pengalaman tinggal sendiri di antara narasumber, namun penilaian risiko mereka cenderung sama, yaitu menganggap Banda Aceh lebih aman dibandingkan wilayah lain yang pernah mereka kunjungi. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan informasi mengenai persepsi keamanan mahasiswa terhadap kriminalitas di Banda Aceh dan menjadi bahan evaluasi bagi aparat setempat untuk mempertahankan serta meningkatkan jaminan keamanan kota Banda Aceh.

Abstract: Overseas students often face unique security-related challenges in a new environment, such as adaptation to local security dynamics, the threat of street crime, and concerns about personal safety. Given the phenomenon of criminality in Banda Aceh and its impact on perceptions of security, it is important to understand how overseas students interpret their perceptions of security in the city. This study aims to explore the experiences of overseas students in dealing with criminality in their new environment and how they interpret security in Banda Aceh. This research used a qualitative approach with a narrative method. The procedure for selecting respondents used a purposive sampling technique with a total of five participants. The research data were collected through interviews (in depth interviews) and then analyzed using narrative analysis techniques by Creswell (2023). The results showed that there were variations in experiences and perceptions of security against crime in Banda Aceh. There were differences in the experience of living alone among the interviewees, but their risk assessment tended to be the same, which considered Banda Aceh safer than other areas they had visited. The results of this study are expected to provide information about student security perceptions of crime in Banda Aceh and become an evaluation material for local officials to maintain and improve the security guarantee of the city of Banda Aceh.
