Latukan – a village in Karanggeneng district, Lamongan region, East Java
Latukan is a small settlement in Indonesia, located in East Java province (Jawa Timur), in Lamongan region (Kabupaten Lamongan), in Karanggeneng district (Kecamatan Karanggeneng). Based on its coordinates, the village is situated in terrain characteristic of the Javan plains, approximately at latitude -7.02 and longitude 112.33. East Java is one of Indonesia's most populous provinces, with its capital being Surabaya, the country's second largest city. The available source material does not contain detailed information about the specific settlement, therefore the following description primarily presents the broader context – the general characteristics of the province and region, clearly indicating when reference is made to the broader context.
General overview
Latukan belongs to the Kecamatan Karanggeneng administrative unit, which is part of Kabupaten Lamongan. Lamongan region is located near the northern coast of East Java, and is characterised by predominantly agricultural areas. In the region, as in much of East Java, Islam plays a defining role in the life of local communities, with approximately 94 percent of the province's population being Muslim. According to the 2020 census, the total population of the province exceeded 40.6 million, making East Java the second most populous province in Indonesia. Villages, including those belonging to Karanggeneng district, are typically closely connected to local agricultural traditions, and community life is organised around local customs, religious celebrations and economic relations maintained with neighbouring towns. No independent, detailed district or settlement-level statistics about Latukan are available in the accessible sources.
Real estate and investment
Settlement-level, verifiable data on the real estate market in Latukan is not available. Considering the broader context, Kabupaten Lamongan is a characteristically rural, agriculturally oriented region in East Java, where real estate prices are generally lower than in the larger cities of the province, such as Surabaya. In East Java province, over recent decades, economic development and infrastructure investments have brought about gradual changes in the real estate market of rural areas; however, in small villages, the volume of transactions and the pace of price increases generally remain moderate. It is important to note that in Indonesia, regulations on real estate acquisition impose strict restrictions on foreign citizens: full ownership (Hak Milik) is exclusively reserved for Indonesian citizens, while foreigners can only hold real estate on certain legally defined title bases – for example, through long-term rental agreements or special ownership forms. These general rules apply throughout the country, and thus also apply to Latukan and Lamongan region. Before any investment decision, it is advisable to seek local legal counsel.
Safety and security
The available sources contain no specific, verifiable data on public safety in Latukan, crime statistics or police records. In general terms, it can be said that in rural areas of East Java province – which include Karanggeneng district and the villages within it – public safety generally reflects the overall picture applicable to the province's rural zones. Indonesian rural communities have strong neighbourhood bonds, which generally have a favourable influence on the sense of daily security. However, all travellers and those considering settling should make an effort to inform themselves about current local conditions, as province and region-level pictures cannot necessarily be directly projected onto specific villages. For authentic and up-to-date public safety information, consultation with Indonesian authorities or the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is recommended.
Tourist attractions
The available source material does not mention any specific, named tourist attractions for Latukan settlement. The broader region, East Java province, however, offers numerous natural and cultural attractions that are known nationally and internationally. The province's most renowned natural attractions include the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, which extends across the areas of Malang, Pasuruan, Lumajang and Probolinggo, the Ijen volcano near Banyuwangi with its sulfuric acid crater, and the Baluran National Park near Situbondo. These attractions, however, are located at considerable distances from Latukan, and cover other parts of the province rather than Karanggeneng district. The available sources contain no details about Kabupaten Lamongan's own tourist offerings – into which Latukan might potentially fit – therefore no such claim can be made. For those interested, local, district-level information sources, such as the Kabupaten Lamongan tourism office, represent more reliable and current sources of information.
Summary
Latukan is a small settlement in East Java, belonging to the Kecamatan Karanggeneng administrative unit as part of Kabupaten Lamongan, in Jawa Timur province. Detailed, verifiable data about the village are not yet publicly available, therefore the description presented the broader context of the province and region. East Java itself is an extraordinarily diverse, populous province with a rich natural heritage, whose rural areas – including the villages of Lamongan region – are living embodiments of Javan agricultural and community traditions. For more detailed information about Latukan, the local Indonesian administrative bodies and on-site information sources are the authoritative references.
