Muda – small village settlement in Kelubagolit district of Flores Timur Regency
Muda is a settlement in East Indonesia, located in Kabupaten Flores Timur Regency, which belongs to Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Nusa Tenggara) province, within the administrative district of Kecamatan Kelubagolit. Based on its coordinates, the point defined by southern latitude and eastern longitude marks the eastern part of Flores island, within the broader Lesser Sunda Islands macroregion. No settlement-level data is available about this area from Wikipedia or other publicly accessible, verifiable sources; therefore, the description below relies exclusively on reliably known administrative data and the generally known, verifiable characteristics of Flores Timur Regency and Nusa Tenggara Timur province, clearly indicating the validity level of individual statements.
General overview
Muda belongs to Kecamatan Kelubagolit district, which forms part of Kabupaten Flores Timur administrative unit. Flores Timur Regency encompasses the eastern tip of Flores island and administratively considers Larantuka city as its regional center, which serves as the regency capital. No publicly available, detailed database is known about Muda itself or Kelubagolit district in broad sources, so precise statements cannot be made about the settlement's size, population, and local infrastructure. The eastern region of Flores is generally characterized by small villages and communities typically based on agriculture and fishing, where settlements often number several hundred inhabitants. Nusa Tenggara Timur province is one of Indonesia's less developed but naturally rich provinces, where strong Catholic Christian presence and intricate systems of traditional local cultures are characteristic – this general context applies to Flores Timur Regency as well, though the local details of this cannot be verified from sources regarding Muda village.
Real estate and investment
No detailed, publicly verifiable real estate market data is available for Muda or Kelubagolit district. In the context of Flores Timur Regency and the broader Nusa Tenggara Timur province, the real estate market is considerably smaller in volume and less liquid compared to Bali or Java, investment activity is lower, and the development of infrastructure and institutional real estate trading is more modest. The regulatory framework applicable to the entire territory of Indonesia stipulates that foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of real estate in Indonesia, but rather have access to various time-limited legal titles – such as building rights (Hak Guna Bangunan) or long-term lease arrangements. This general legal framework applies to properties located in Muda and Flores Timur Regency. In rural areas of eastern Flores, properties typically circulate at low market prices, to the extent that they are formally traded at all, and property registration is less unified than in the more urbanized parts of the country – this context can be generally stated about Flores Timur Regency, but reliable statements cannot be made about Muda's specific circumstances due to lack of sources.
Safety and security
No publicly available, systematic criminal or public security statistics exist for Muda or Kecamatan Kelubagolit district, so precise statements cannot be made in this regard. The broader Nusa Tenggara Timur province generally does not rank among Indonesia's prominent conflict zones or high-crime regions. Flores island and its eastern region are typically considered quieter, lower-traffic areas compared to more frequently visited tourism destinations (such as Bali, Lombok), where community-based social organization is traditionally strong. Nevertheless, these statements concern the general assessment of the province and island, and cannot substitute for on-site, current information, which is advisable to obtain when planning a stay.
Tourist attractions
No verifiable source is available for tourist attractions directly linked to and named after Muda village. However, the Kabupaten Flores Timur Regency's eastern Flores area is known for several landmarks that form the broader region's appeal. Larantuka, the regency's capital, is an identifiable, real settlement known for its deep Catholic heritage stemming from Portuguese colonization and its Semana Santa Easter procession traditions. The eastern and central parts of Flores island are generally known for mountainous landscapes, traditional village culture, and marine biodiversity appeal, but reliable data cannot be provided about specific distances or accessibility from Muda due to lack of sources. For those interested, travel from Larantuka through the Flores Timur Regency would provide access to local natural and cultural values that constitute the primary attractions in the region.
Summary
Muda is a small settlement found in Kecamatan Kelubagolit district, belonging to Kabupaten Flores Timur Regency in Nusa Tenggara Timur province, on the eastern part of Flores island. Detailed, verifiable information about the place is not publicly available; therefore, the above description relies on reliably known administrative classification and the generally characteristic context of Flores Timur Regency and Nusa Tenggara Timur province. The regional center of Larantuka and the broader eastern Flores area provide the relevant framework regarding the real estate market, public security situation, and tourism offerings within which Muda is situated.
