Moodulio – a settlement in Bone district, Bone Bolango regency, Gorontalo province
Moodulio is an Indonesian settlement located in Gorontalo province, which lies on the island of Celebes (Sulawesi), specifically within the Kabupaten Bone Bolango administrative unit and belonging to Kecamatan Bone district. Based on its coordinates (0.39° north latitude, 123.50° east longitude), it is situated in the inland territory of the province, on the side facing Tomini Bay. Moodulio itself does not have an independent, widely accessible encyclopedic source, so the following description relies on the settlement's broader administrative and regional context — primarily data available at the Gorontalo province level — with this always noted accordingly.
General overview
Moodulio belongs to the Kecamatan Bone administrative district, which forms part of Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Gorontalo province as a whole is a relatively young administrative unit: it separated from North Sulawesi province on December 5, 2000, and has held independent provincial status since then. The province's total area is 12,024.98 square kilometers, with a population of 1,171,681 according to the 2020 census, and an estimated figure of 1,242,240 projected for mid-2025. The province is characterized by communities built on Islamic cultural traditions; historically, the pre-colonial kingdoms of the region applied Islamic law in governance, society, and the administration of justice, from which the epithet "Vestibule of Medina" (in Indonesian: Bumi Serambi Madinah) derives. Another characteristic of the province is karawo embroidery, for which Gorontalo also bears the nickname "Karawo province." Moodulio itself is a smaller interior settlement not particularly visited by tourists; settlements of this type in Gorontalo province are generally characterized by agricultural and small-community character, though detailed, verifiable data about this particular village are not available.
Real estate and investment
The real estate market in Kabupaten Bone Bolango and the entire Gorontalo province is fundamentally aligned with the province's level of economic development. Gorontalo is one of the smaller and less industrialized Indonesian provinces, where real estate prices are generally much lower than in the more urbanized areas of Java, Bali, or North Sulawesi. In interior villages such as Moodulio, real estate transactions are typically limited, with the majority of transactions conducted between local buyers and sellers. From an investment perspective, it should be noted that in Indonesia, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over real estate; they typically have access to long-term use rights (Hak Pakai, Hak Sewa), which operate within the framework of Indonesian land law. This general regulation applies to Gorontalo province and within it to Kabupaten Bone Bolango. Specific real estate market data relating to Moodulio are not publicly available.
Safety and security
Separate, verifiable data on safety and security in Moodulio are not available. The broader region, Gorontalo province, generally exhibits the safety and security profile characteristic of medium and smaller cities and rural areas in Indonesia: serious violent crimes are relatively rare in interior, small-village districts, though the situation could be accurately assessed only from local sources and communications from the competent provincial police headquarters (Polda Gorontalo). In small-community villages, social control through neighborhood mechanisms is generally strong, which does not guarantee complete security but is a characteristic feature of rural life. It would not be appropriate to provide specific crime statistics relating to Moodulio, as there is no substantiated source available for this.
Tourist attractions
No publicly available data can be found regarding tourist attractions specific to Moodulio itself. Within the broader area of Kecamatan Bone district and Kabupaten Bone Bolango, however, Gorontalo province offers several well-known natural and cultural assets. Considering the province as a whole, the coastline of Tomini Bay and the mountainous landscape spreading throughout the province's interior form tourism attractions. In the capital of Gorontalo province, Gorontalo city (also known as Hulontalo in the Gorontalo language), there are cultural and historical sites, and it is also the province's most important transportation hub. Tourism in the province as a whole is less developed than in the neighboring North Sulawesi region. In the case of Moodulio, those seeking attractions in the broader region would do well to consider the offerings of Kabupaten Bone Bolango and Gorontalo city, though reliable, verified sources regarding specific distances and named lists of available attractions are not currently available based on the above.
Summary
Moodulio is a small interior settlement typical of Indonesian villages situated on Celebes, belonging to Kecamatan Bone in Kabupaten Bone Bolango in Gorontalo province. The province has been an independent provincial unit since 2000, with Islamic cultural traditions and a distinctive karawo embroidery tradition. Data specific to Moodulio — whether concerning the real estate market, public safety, or tourist attractions — are not publicly available, so the assessment relies primarily on general characteristics at the province and regency level. The settlement may be of interest primarily to those seeking the less frequently visited, rural character areas of the Gorontalo region.
