Cempedak – a village in the Kecamatan Kotabumi area of North Lampung
Cempedak is an Indonesian settlement that belongs to the Kecamatan Kotabumi administrative district within Kabupaten Lampung Utara (North Lampung Regency), in Lampung Province, on the island of Sumatra. Based on its coordinates (-4.82° south latitude, 104.88° east longitude), it is situated in the inland, terrestrial areas of the regency. The seat of the regency is the city of Kotabumi itself, to whose administrative district Cempedak also belongs. North Lampung Regency lies entirely within the interior of Lampung Province and has no coastal areas.
General overview
Cempedak is a smaller settlement that remains relatively unknown to the broader public, and no separate, settlement-level public sources are available about it. Its location within the Kecamatan Kotabumi area means that it lies in the direct sphere of influence of the regency's administrative and economic center, since Kotabumi is also the seat of Kabupaten Lampung Utara. The area of Kabupaten Lampung Utara covers 2,667.21 square kilometers and, according to 2020 census data, was inhabited by 633,099 people; the official estimate for mid-2024 indicates 675,626 inhabitants. This inland regency lies in the northern part of Lampung Province and historically developed from a much more extensive administrative unit: it shrank to its current size as a result of territorial separations in 1991, 1997, and 1999. The economic activities characteristic of the region — such as agriculture, particularly plantation-based land use — are generally determining factors in the interior areas of Lampung Province, and this is likely also true for Cempedak's immediate surroundings, though settlement-level data on this is not available.
Real estate and investment
Direct, settlement-level real estate market data specific to Cempedak is not available. From the broader context of Kabupaten Lampung Utara, it can be said that this is an inland, rural regency where the real estate market is typically organized around small-town and agricultural uses. The regency seat, Kotabumi, is the region's primary commercial and service center, from whose proximity smaller villages at the kecamatan level can also benefit. Generally speaking, property prices in Sumatra's interior, non-tourist areas are considerably lower than in the island's more developed tourist or industrial regions. From an investment perspective, development potential is primarily linked to infrastructure development and regional economic growth, but no concrete data specific to Cempedak can be cited in this regard. It is important to note that in Indonesia, the property acquisition opportunities for foreign nationals are strictly regulated by Indonesian land ownership law: direct property ownership is generally not possible for foreign individuals, so professional legal advice is essential for investment purposes.
Safety and security
Independent, reliable statistics on Cempedak's public safety are not available. Based on the general characteristics of the broader region, Kabupaten Lampung Utara, it can be said that in rural, small-town administrative districts throughout Indonesia, public safety generally differs from that in larger cities: local community connections are closer, and urban-type crime patterns are less characteristic. However, this is a generalization and cannot replace up-to-date local information. Before traveling or settling, it is advisable to consult current travel advisories from Hungarian and Indonesian foreign ministry sources, as well as recommendations from local authorities.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions associated with Cempedak are listed in available sources. The sources used do not contain specific attractions for the Kecamatan Kotabumi and Kabupaten Lampung Utara areas either. Generally speaking, the interior areas of Lampung Province are primarily significant from agricultural and administrative perspectives; the province's more frequently visited tourist areas are found mainly in coastal zones and near the Krakatau volcano, which lie at considerable distances from Cempedak. The regency's inland, hilly, and forested natural environment could theoretically offer nature-based tourism opportunities, but no verified information on this is available. For those interested, local tourism and administrative services available in Kotabumi city can provide current and reliable information about any notable features in the surrounding area.
Summary
Cempedak is a smaller Indonesian settlement in the Kecamatan Kotabumi area, in the inland region of Kabupaten Lampung Utara, in Lampung Province, on the island of Sumatra. According to 2020 data, the regency's population exceeds 633,000 people, with its seat in Kotabumi, to whose administrative district the village in question also belongs. No independent, settlement-level public data is available about the locality, so administrative, economic, and public safety characteristics can only be presented within the framework of the broader regional context. Due to its nature, it cannot be counted among outstanding tourist destinations, but Kotabumi can serve as a starting point for getting to know the region.
