Jemparing – small Bornean settlement in the Long Ikis District of Paser Regency
Jemparing is a small settlement in East Kalimantan (Kalimantan Timur) province in Indonesia, located in the Long Ikis kecamatan (district) of Paser Regency (Kabupaten Paser). Based on its coordinates (−1.5421054 latitude, 116.2836124 longitude), the area is situated in the southeastern part of Borneo. Paser Regency is the southernmost regency of East Kalimantan, with its administrative seat in the city of Tana Paser (also known as Tanah Grogot). Available source material is primarily accessible at the regency level, so factual statements about Jemparing itself can only be made within the broader administrative and geographical framework.
General overview
Jemparing belongs to the Long Ikis kecamatan, which is one of the administrative units of Paser Regency. Paser Regency was established on 26 June 1959 from the northern parts of Kotabaru Regency, and was known as Pasir Regency until 22 August 2007. The regency's current area is 11,603.94 km², after its eastern and northeastern districts became the independent Penajam North Paser Regency on 10 April 2002. The region's total population was 230,316 in the 2010 census and 275,452 according to 2020 data; the official estimate for mid-2025 indicates 315,033 residents, of which 49.1 percent are male and 50.9 percent are female. Jemparing itself is a minor settlement noted at the local level, for which no independent statistical or descriptive sources are available. The Long Ikis district, like other interior areas of Paser Regency, is characteristically a rural area with relatively low population density focused on agricultural and forestry activities, framed by Bornean rainforests and river valleys.
Real estate and investment
No independent, verifiable sources are available regarding Jemparing's real estate market. In the broader context of Paser Regency, it can be said that the economic and real estate investment dynamics of East Kalimantan province have been strongly influenced in recent decades by the presence of the oil and gas industry, coal mining, and plantation agriculture (particularly palm oil production) in the region. In interior, rural districts – such as Long Ikis – property prices are generally lower and market turnover and investment activity are more moderate than in the province's urban centers. Under Indonesia's general land ownership regulations, foreign private individuals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to property; Hak Pakai (use rights) and certain lease arrangements are available to them. These regulatory frameworks apply throughout the country, including in East Kalimantan. With regard to specific market conditions and land prices, on-site and regency-level research is essential.
Safety and security
No independent, verifiable data are available regarding the public safety situation in Jemparing and Long Ikis kecamatan. Paser Regency, as a southern district of East Kalimantan, generally belongs to the rural, less urbanized areas of the province. For rural interior districts in Indonesia in general, it can be said that crime statistics and public safety situations differ significantly from those of major cities, and in smaller villages community-level social control tends to be stronger. In the absence of reliable data on specific public safety matters, no more detailed statement can be made; those intending to travel should gather information from local authorities or reliable local sources.
Tourist attractions
Available source material contains no named tourist attractions directly associated with Jemparing. Paser Regency as a whole is located in the naturally rich southern part of East Kalimantan province, where Bornean rainforests, river systems, and their associated ecosystems form the broader natural background. The regency's administrative center, Tana Paser (Tanah Grogot), is the cultural and commercial hub of the district, to which residents of smaller villages in the area and passersby regularly travel. Since no source-verified information is available for Jemparing regarding temples, natural attractions, or local events, those interested are advised to research the tourist and cultural offerings at the Long Ikis district and Paser Regency level through local sources.
Summary
Jemparing is a minor, rural settlement in East Kalimantan, located in the Long Ikis kecamatan of Paser Regency, in the southeastern part of Borneo. Paser Regency itself is the southernmost regency of East Kalimantan, with a combined population of approximately 315,000 and Tana Paser as its administrative seat. No independent statistical or tourist source material is available for the settlement, so the broader regency and provincial framework provides guidance to local conditions. Those arriving here are advised to seek on-site and local-level information regarding real estate market, public safety, and tourist aspects alike.
