Abstract this research studied the distribution of bed sediment in the estuarial of krueng cut, banda aceh municipality. the purpose of this research is to determain the pattern of bed sediment distribution as well as its profile. the coring method was used in this study by using purposive random sampling for 15 points of taken sampling. the sediment sampling was proceeded by using a 2,5 cm diameter of pvc paralon at a depth of 25 cm from the base. sample was analyzed using sieve analysis method. the result showed that the dominant of bed sediment size are medium sand, fine sand, and very fine sand. inthe region of coastal dynamic, the sediment is dominated by medium sand size. meanwhile in the area of river dominated flour the sediment is subject to fine sand size. the fraction of very fine sand size sediment is found in the zona of transition. keywords: krueng cut, bed sediment, sediment fraction, sieve analysis.
