Gedung Wani – village in Marga Tiga district, East Lampung Regency
Gedung Wani is an Indonesian village (desa) located in the eastern part of Lampung Province in Sumatra, within the territory of Kabupaten Lampung Timur (East Lampung Regency), specifically in Kecamatan Marga Tiga district. Based on its coordinates, the village is situated at approximately 5.2 degrees south latitude and 105.5 degrees east longitude, indicating a location in the southern half of Sumatra, toward the island's interior. According to the Indonesian Wikipedia article on Lampung Province, Lampung is the southernmost province of Sumatra Island, bordered to the south by the Sunda Strait, to the west by the Indian Ocean, to the east by the Java Sea, and to the north by South Sumatra and Bengkulu provinces. Since the available sources contain only provincial-level data, certain statements concerning Gedung Wani necessarily derive from the broader Lampung context.
General overview
Gedung Wani does not appear independently in widely accessible encyclopedic sources, indicating that it is a relatively small settlement of local significance. It forms part of Kecamatan Marga Tiga district, which belongs to the administrative unit of Kabupaten Lampung Timur. East Lampung Regency itself is situated in the eastern territories of Lampung Province, and its agricultural character is defining: the province as a whole is characterized by rice cultivation, coffee and corn production, and the presence of oil palm plantations. Since the interior regions of Lampung are largely agrarian in nature, it is reasonable to assume that Gedung Wani is situated primarily in an agricultural environment, though this could be established directly and with certainty only from local, primary sources. According to 2025 data for Lampung Province, it has a population of approximately 9.27 million people, with a population density of 280 people per km², making it a province of moderate density by Sumatran standards. In character and size, Gedung Wani resembles many of the province's small villages: it is primarily understood within the framework of the local community that shapes the daily lives of its inhabitants.
Real estate and investment
No publicly accessible, verifiable data is available regarding Gedung Wani's real estate market at either regency or district level. In the broader Lampung context, it can be noted that Lampung Province's real estate market is fundamentally determined by the development axis around the capital Bandar Lampung and the corridor formed along the Bakauheni–Terbanggi Besar highway, which affect the more urbanized regions of the province. For rural, interior small villages – as Gedung Wani likely is – real estate market turnover is typically low, prices are more moderate, and transactions mainly occur between local actors. Generally speaking, in Indonesia, foreign nationals' property purchase options are legally restricted: as a rule, foreigners cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over Indonesian land property, and under current regulations, access to property is available only within specific legal frameworks – such as long-term lease rights (Hak Sewa) or usage rights (Hak Pakai). This regulatory framework applies throughout Indonesia, including Lampung Province and Kabupaten Lampung Timur. From an investment perspective, the region is primarily receptive to agricultural and agribusiness investments; for smaller villages, the level of infrastructure development, road network condition, and distance from urban centers are all determining factors.
Safety and security
Specific public safety statistics for Gedung Wani or Kecamatan Marga Tiga do not appear in available sources. Regarding Lampung Province as a whole, it can be said that – as one of Indonesia's densely populated provinces with mixed economic characteristics – its public safety situation presents a varied picture: the provincial capital, Bandar Lampung, and its agglomeration present more complex security management tasks, while for smaller villages, social control at the community level is generally strong. In rural, agriculturally-oriented areas, crime rates are generally lower than in urban centers, but this cannot be reliably applied to Gedung Wani's case in the absence of specific data. To obtain reliable, up-to-date information regarding the province's public safety situation, it is recommended to contact local authorities or consular services.
Tourist attractions
In the available source material, no named tourist attraction, cultural site, or natural feature is associated with Gedung Wani. Since only provincial-level sources are available, the generally known tourist attractions linked to Lampung Province can be mentioned in context, though these refer to locations at different, typically greater distances from Gedung Wani. Considering Lampung Province as a whole, Way Kambas National Park is one of the most well-known natural areas, also notable for its Sumatran elephant rehabilitation program, and is situated within East Lampung Regency's territory – thus it may theoretically be among the closest major tourist destinations in the broader region, though its precise distance from Gedung Wani cannot be determined from sources. The coastlines of the Sunda Strait and the western and southern seashores of the province are also known natural areas within Lampung, though these are located in other directions from Gedung Wani within the province. In the absence of reliable data on local or district-level attractions, further inquiry from local sources is recommended.
Summary
Gedung Wani is a small-sized Indonesian village recorded at district level, situated in Kecamatan Marga Tiga district, within Kabupaten Lampung Timur, in the Sumatran territories of Lampung Province. Publicly accessible, verifiable sources were available only at the provincial level, so the findings concerning the settlement derive predominantly from the Lampung and East Lampung context. The province is an agriculturally-oriented, moderately dense region at the southern tip of Sumatra, its real estate and tourism characteristics determined primarily by the urban centers and the areas surrounding national parks. As a rural community, Gedung Wani almost certainly shares the characteristics of the province's quieter, agriculturally-oriented interior regions.
