Kayuboko – a small settlement in Parigi Barat District, Central Sulawesi
Kayuboko is an Indonesian settlement located in Parigi Barat District (kecamatan) of Parigi Moutong Regency (Kabupaten Parigi Moutong), which belongs to Central Sulawesi Province (Sulawesi Tengah). Based on its coordinates, the location lies roughly south of the Equator in the central part of Sulawesi, close to the eastern coast of Tomini Bay. Kabupaten Parigi Moutong itself is an administrative unit of Central Sulawesi Province, with its seat in Parigi kecamatan. Since no independent, settlement-level public sources on Kayuboko are currently available, the following overview presents verified regency-level data and general information about the broader region, with this distinction clearly indicated throughout.
General overview
Kayuboko is a little-known small settlement belonging to Parigi Barat kecamatan, for which detailed independent statistical or descriptive sources are not yet publicly available. The broader administrative unit, Kabupaten Parigi Moutong, covers an area of 6,231.85 km² and had a population of 443,170 according to 2021 data, comprising 227,196 men and 215,974 women. The regency encompasses a significant portion of the eastern coast of Central Sulawesi Province and the Tomini Bay region. The area is characterized by a tropical climate, agricultural activity—particularly the cultivation of cocoa, coconut, and other plantation crops—and fishing. In such a rural setting, Kayuboko is likely a relatively small, agrarian community operating within the administrative framework of Parigi Barat District, though specific data on this can only be reported based on authoritative local sources.
Real estate and investment
Local real estate market data for Kayuboko is not available. In the broader context of Parigi Moutong Regency, it can be said that in rural areas of Central Sulawesi Province, the real estate market is generally less developed and less liquid than in larger cities or tourism-oriented regions. Agricultural land and smaller residential properties typically move at lower price levels compared to Java or Bali regions, while market transparency and the legal infrastructure for property transactions offer different conditions. According to Indonesian property ownership regulations, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over real estate, but may only hold certain limited property rights—such as Hak Pakai—within legal frameworks. This general Indonesian legal framework applies throughout Kabupaten Parigi Moutong and thus to Kayuboko as well. From an investment perspective, the most characteristic economic basis in the broader Parigi Barat area consists of agricultural and plantation projects as well as fishing activities, though detailed market assessment of these would require up-to-date local-level data.
Safety and security
Specific, settlement-level statistical data on public safety in Kayuboko is not publicly available. For Central Sulawesi Province as a whole and within it the rural areas of Parigi Moutong Regency, it can be said generally that everyday public order in small, agrarian communities is typically stable, with strong local community ties. However, as in other less developed rural areas of Indonesia with limited infrastructure, police presence and availability of healthcare services may be more restricted than in urban areas. Based on broadly verifiable security-related information concerning the province as a whole, no particular recurring security risk that would be specifically localized to this district can be identified. Anyone visiting or staying in the area may obtain current information from local authorities and reliable local sources.
Tourist attractions
Kayuboko does not appear in available sources as a known tourist destination in Kabupaten Parigi Moutong, and no named attractions from Parigi Barat District are identified in verified materials. The natural assets of the broader Parigi Moutong Regency—including sections of the Tomini Bay coast, the tropical seashore, and the natural environment characteristic of Central Sulawesi—are generally known and may attract tourism interest in parts of the regency. Due to Kayuboko's location, the Tomini Bay area and regions around the city of Parigi may be within reach, though specific named attractions linked to them would require reliable local-level information, which this article does not possess. For interested visitors, the regency seat, the city of Parigi, represents the nearest administratively defined reference point.
Summary
Kayuboko is a small, poorly documented settlement in Central Sulawesi, located in Parigi Barat kecamatan of Kabupaten Parigi Moutong. Based on verified regency-level data, the broader region is agrarian in character, part of the Central Sulawesi region connected to the Tomini Bay coast, where rural life and agricultural activity are defining features. In the absence of settlement-level statistical and tourism data, only a general picture of Kayuboko can be formed based on the broader administrative context; for more detailed, location-specific information, it is advisable to consult local sources.
