In the planning, pre-operational, and operational processes, Arun Lhoksumawe Special Economic Zone still faces several significant problems. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative research is to analyze the process of designing the governance of the Special Economic Zone. This analysis process is carried out through observation with secondary data from 2018 to 2019 as research support.
