Kedung Ringin – a small settlement in East Lampung on the eastern edge of Lampung Timur Regency
Kedung Ringin is an Indonesian village (desa) located in the eastern part of Lampung Province on the island of Sumatra, within Kabupaten Lampung Timur (East Lampung Regency), and belongs to Kecamatan Pasir Sakti (Pasir Sakti District). Based on its coordinates (approximately 5.56° south latitude, 105.76° east longitude), it is situated in a flat lowland landscape close to the coast of the Java Sea. Lampung Province is the southernmost province of Sumatra island, bordered on the south by the Sunda Strait, on the east by the Java Sea, on the west by the Indian Ocean, and on the north by South Sumatra and Bengkulu provinces. Regarding Kedung Ringin specifically, no publicly available detailed statistical or encyclopedic sources are accessible, so the following description of the village is based on verifiable characteristics of the broader context – the province and regency level.
General overview
Kedung Ringin is not among the well-known or frequently visited settlements of Lampung Province; it is a smaller desa, typically characterized by agriculture, located within Kecamatan Pasir Sakti. Kecamatan Pasir Sakti is situated in the eastern, coastal belt of Lampung Timur Regency, where the landscape is characterized by low-lying wet areas and fertile land suitable for fishing and rice cultivation. As of 2025, Lampung Province as a whole is home to approximately 9.27 million people, with a population density at the provincial level of approximately 280 people per km². No population or area data for Kedung Ringin itself is available in accessible sources, so the above provincial figures merely provide the broader context. The economic life of the small districts on the eastern coast of Lampung is largely built on agriculture – primarily rice, coffee, and rubber cultivation – and fishing, which may also characterize Pasir Sakti District based on its geographical conditions.
Real estate and investment
No verifiable settlement-level data is available regarding the real estate market in Kedung Ringin. In the broader Lampung Timur Regency area, property prices are generally significantly lower than the price levels in the provincial capital, Bandar Lampung, which is typical for rural areas far from larger transportation hubs throughout Indonesia. There is demand among local communities for agricultural land and smaller residential properties, while developer investments tend to target the region's larger cities and transportation corridors. It is important for foreign investors to know that in Indonesia, foreigners (WNA – Warga Negara Asing) cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over property; they have available primarily Hak Pakai (usufruct rights) and, under certain conditions, Hak Sewa (lease rights), which is the general regulatory framework applicable throughout the country. For properties near the eastern coastal, wet areas, it is advisable to pay attention to flood and inundation risks, which may be a relevant factor in low-lying kecamatan near the Java Sea, such as Pasir Sakti.
Safety and security
No publicly available concrete crime statistics or settlement-specific police reports are available regarding public safety in Kedung Ringin. Lampung Province presents a mixed picture in terms of public safety: in certain areas of the province – particularly in urbanized zones and along major roads – minor property crimes do occur, as they do in other similarly developed rural regions of Indonesia. In smaller, rural villages, informal community control and neighborhood solidarity are generally stronger than in large cities, though this does not necessarily guarantee complete freedom from minor incidents. For the province as a whole, it is recommended to inquire with current local authorities or the competent bodies of Kabupaten Lampung Timur regarding the specific security situation.
Tourist attractions
Kedung Ringin itself does not have any identifiable tourist attractions from available sources. Pasir Sakti District is located on the eastern coast of Lampung adjacent to the Java Sea, where the natural environment – mangrove forests, coastal waters – could provide a basis for ecotourism interest, but there are no verifiable sources confirming specific named attractions or direct connection to Kedung Ringin. The more widely known tourist destinations of Lampung Province – such as the Way Kambas National Park's elephant program, which is located in the territory of Lampung Timur Regency – are situated in the interior of the province, further inland from the eastern coast. The Krakatau volcanic chain located near the Sunda Strait in the southern part of the province is one of the region's most famous natural attractions, but it lies at a considerable distance from Pasir Sakti District, within the territory of other administrative units. Those visiting the Kedung Ringin area would be of interest primarily to those curious about Lampung rural life and eastern coastal landscapes, without developed tourist infrastructure.
Summary
Kedung Ringin is a small, rural settlement in the eastern part of Lampung Province, in Kecamatan Pasir Sakti within Kabupaten Lampung Timur. Detailed publicly available data on the village is not accessible, so the above primarily reflects context at the province and regency levels. The place is most notably situated within the eastern lowland agricultural landscape of Lampung, is not particularly significant from a tourism or investment perspective, though the broader province does possess several well-known natural and cultural attractions, for which Bandar Lampung represents the most important starting point of access.
