Negara Bumi Ilir – a small settlement in the central part of Lampung Province, Sumatra
Negara Bumi Ilir is an Indonesian village (desa) located in Lampung Province on the southern part of Sumatra island. Administratively, it belongs to Kecamatan Anak Tuha, which functions as part of Kabupaten Lampung Tengah, or Central Lampung regency. Based on the settlement's coordinates (-4.9997° southern latitude, 105.0820° eastern longitude), the village is situated in Lampung Province's interior, inland areas, not near the coast. Lampung Province as a whole extends across the southern tip of Sumatra and borders Java across the Sunda Strait.
General overview
Negara Bumi Ilir is not among the well-known or tourist-visited Indonesian settlements; it is a relatively small rural community within Kecamatan Anak Tuha. Since detailed Wikipedia sources are unavailable at both the kecamatan and desa levels, information about the settlement's distinctive characteristics can only be provided within the broader administrative and geographical framework. Kabupaten Lampung Tengah is one of the largest regencies by area in Lampung Province, with its territory being primarily agricultural in nature: rice cultivation, sugarcane production, and oil-bearing crops (palm plantations) are the dominant economic activities in the region. Kecamatan Anak Tuha itself is primarily known for its agrarian character within the province. The place name "Negara Bumi Ilir" reflects a typically Lampungi naming tradition: the word "ilir" in Indonesian and local languages refers to "downriver" or "lower" direction, which may also allude to hydrographical positioning. According to 2025 data, Lampung Province has a population of approximately 9.27 million and is counted as one of Indonesia's most populous provinces on Sumatra; population density at the provincial level is 280 per km².
Real estate and investment
Settlement-level real estate market data for Negara Bumi Ilir is not available; therefore, the following presents context at the broader Lampung Province and Kabupaten Lampung Tengah levels. Lampung Province serves as the southern gateway to Sumatra with an important transportation role: through the Bakauheni port, direct ferry connections to Java can be established, which influences the economic attractiveness of the province as a whole. In the province's interior, rural areas – such as Kecamatan Anak Tuha – property prices typically represent a fraction of price levels in areas surrounding the capital Bandar Lampung or coastal regions. In agricultural land cases, investor interest is primarily linked to plantation-based farming. It is general knowledge that in Indonesia, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to property; for them, Hak Pakai (usage rights) or rental arrangements are available, with legal expert involvement. This general regulation applies to the territory of Kabupaten Lampung Tengah, including Negara Bumi Ilir village.
Safety and security
Specific, verifiable public safety statistics or crime data for Negara Bumi Ilir are not available. Regarding public safety in the broader Lampung Province, it can be generally noted that in certain rural areas of the province – particularly in villages far from major highways – local community norms and the organizing force of informal social control are significant. Lampung Province has been an economic migration destination in recent decades, which has also involved changes in social composition. As in most rural regions of Indonesia, public safety primarily falls under the jurisdiction of the local police station (Polsek). For travelers, it is generally recommended to respect local customs and to obtain advance information about the area's current situation from the authorities of Kecamatan Anak Tuha or Kabupaten Lampung Tengah.
Tourist attractions
No documented notable tourist attractions for Negara Bumi Ilir are recorded in available sources; therefore, the following paragraph presents Lampung Province's more widely known assets for informational purposes, not as a description of the village's direct tourist appeal. In the southern part of Lampung Province, in the Sunda Strait region, lies the area surrounding the Krakatau volcano, which is one of the province's most famous natural landmarks, though this is geographically far from Kecamatan Anak Tuha located in the interior. In interior rural districts that are similarly at significant distance from the provincial capital Bandar Lampung, the natural environment – rivers, plantation landscapes – characterizes the landscape. Based on available data, no specific attraction directly connected to Negara Bumi Ilir can be named.
Summary
Negara Bumi Ilir is a small Lampungi village in Kecamatan Anak Tuha, within the administrative unit of Kabupaten Lampung Tengah, in the interior, agriculture-oriented area of Lampung Province. As part of Lampung Province, which has nearly 9.27 million inhabitants, this rural-character settlement does not count among known tourist or investment destinations; its detailed information is not documented in publicly available sources. Those interested in the broader region should inquire with authorities at the Kabupaten Lampung Tengah level or with local real estate specialists to learn about the current situation and opportunities.
