Campur Sari – a small settlement in Talisayan district, Berau regency, East Kalimantan
Campur Sari is an Indonesian settlement located in East Kalimantan (Kalimantan Timur) province, within Berau regency, and belongs to Talisayan district (kecamatan). Geographically, it is situated on the island of Borneo, at approximately 1.52° north latitude and 118.29° east longitude. The provincial capital, Samarinda, is at a considerable distance from Campur Sari, which lies in the eastern part of the island. Settlement-level statistical or encyclopedic sources for this village are not currently available; therefore, the description below relies on generally known data and relationships pertaining to the broader region—Berau regency, Talisayan district, and Kalimantan Timur province—and indicates this clearly throughout.
General overview
Campur Sari is a small rural settlement belonging to Talisayan kecamatan, and detailed statistical records of the village are not found in publicly available sources. Talisayan district itself, as part of Berau regency, lies in the central-eastern band of East Kalimantan. Berau regency is one of the most extensive administrative units in the province, characterized by dense tropical forest cover, river networks, and relatively low population density—the latter being true for the entire province: according to 2020 data, Kalimantan Timur counted approximately 3.94 million inhabitants over nearly 127,347 km², making it Indonesia's fourth least densely populated province. Villages similar to Campur Sari on Borneo subsist primarily on agriculture and forestry, with fishing playing a smaller role; this economic structure is generally characteristic of the Talisayan area as well, although specific local data for Campur Sari is not contained in available sources. The province's economic structure as a whole is dominated by coal mining, timber extraction, and oil palm plantations, the effects of which are felt as far as the most remote districts.
Real estate and investment
No independent, authenticated source exists for Campur Sari's real estate market; therefore, the following reflects the broader context of Berau regency and Kalimantan Timur province. The province has experienced noticeable development activity over the past decade, partly due to regional interest generated by the Nusantara project—intended as Indonesia's new capital—in a neighboring province (owing to proximity to Kalimantan Utara), and partly as a result of expanding mining and energy infrastructure. In rural, small settlements such as Campur Sari presumably is, property prices are generally significantly lower than in the province's larger cities, though real estate market liquidity is limited, and development potential depends primarily on local agricultural and forestry uses. As a general Indonesian regulatory framework, it should be noted that foreign nationals cannot hold full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over property in Indonesia; the most common forms available to them are limited-term use rights (Hak Pakai) and solutions based on nominal ownership, which may carry legal risks. Consultation with an Indonesian legal expert is recommended before any investment decisions.
Safety and security
No specific, reliable statistics exist regarding public safety in Campur Sari. Considering East Kalimantan province as a whole, rural villages with small populations can generally be characterized by relatively low crime levels, which relates to small-community social organization and local social control. In rural areas of Berau regency, the presence of organized crime is not documented in publicly available sources. The greatest everyday risks in the region are generally posed by the condition of transportation infrastructure, limited access to healthcare, and natural hazards—including floods and forest fires—which periodically affect Borneo's interior and coastal areas. These general regional factors may affect Campur Sari as well, but in the absence of local data, this conclusion rests only on the known circumstances of the broader environment.
Tourist attractions
No source exists regarding named tourist attractions in Campur Sari or its immediate vicinity. The broader Berau regency, however, is counted among East Kalimantan's most touristically mapped regions: the Derawan island group (Kepulauan Derawan) near the regency's coastline is known both within Indonesia and internationally for its unspoiled coral reefs and sea turtle nesting sites, though the precise distance from Campur Sari cannot be reliably stated based on available data. The interior areas of the regency contain extensive tropical forests and river systems of ecological value. At the Talisayan district level, detailed information on tourist infrastructure is also not available; thus, it cannot be ruled out that the area is more an informally traversed region for transit or nature-oriented visitors rather than a developed tourist destination. Regarding possible natural features of Campur Sari—such as nearby rivers or forests—this description cannot comment authoritatively in the absence of reliable specifics.
Summary
Campur Sari is a small settlement on Borneo that administratively belongs to Talisayan district in Berau regency, East Kalimantan province. No independent, authenticated source material for the village is currently available; therefore, the description typically relies on general data at the province and regency level. Kalimantan Timur is one of Indonesia's least densely populated provinces, where rural life is closely tied to natural resources. Tourist infrastructure is more developed in the broader region—particularly in the sphere of the Derawan islands—while smaller villages, presumably including Campur Sari, represent quieter, less urban-influenced rural environments.
