Kedamaian – a small settlement in Kota Agung District, Lampung Province
Kedamaian is an Indonesian settlement that belongs to Kota Agung kecamatan (district), within Kabupaten Tanggamus administrative unit, in Lampung Province on the island of Sumatra. Based on its coordinates (–5.4659 south latitude, 104.6500 east longitude), it is situated near Teluk Semangko (Semangka Bay) in a region lying at the foot of Gunung Tanggamus (Tanggamus Mountain). Direct, settlement-level statistical sources for Kedamaian are not currently available; in what follows, it is noted throughout that given information refers to the broader district or regency level.
General overview
Kedamaian forms part of Kota Agung kecamatan, which also serves as the administrative and economic center of Kabupaten Tanggamus. Kota Agung district — which is not identical to an independent urban administrative unit (kota madya), but rather a kecamatan-level territorial unit — according to 2021 data, had a population of approximately 47,147 inhabitants, with a population density of roughly 613 people per square kilometer. The district is situated at the foot of Gunung Tanggamus (Tanggamus Mountain), on the coast of Teluk Semangko, which determines the natural character of the region: foothill and coastal attributes are simultaneously present in the landscape. According to colonial records, the Dutch visited the area regularly from 1889 onwards, indicating that Kota Agung has a relatively early colonization and commercial history within the region. Kedamaian itself is a smaller, locally characterized settlement within this territory, and its precise population and economic data are not available in this source.
Real estate and investment
No independent, settlement-level data are available regarding Kedamaian's real estate market. Considering the broader context, Kabupaten Tanggamus is one of Lampung Province's rural regencies, where property prices and investment activity generally operate at considerably lower levels than in the province's capital, Bandar Lampung. Lampung Province as a whole is characterized by development potential primarily determined by agriculture (particularly coffee, cocoa, and rubber) as well as infrastructure investments. The proximity of the Sumatra–Java connection (via the Bakauheni–Merak ferry crossing) increases the logistics and economic weight of the province as a whole, which can have indirect effects on the rural real estate market, but specific price levels and trends relating to Kedamaian cannot be established from available sources. It may be stated generally that in Indonesia, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) to property; for them, title rights designated as Hak Pakai (use rights) or Hak Sewa (lease rights) are available, and all interested parties are advised to engage local legal expertise regarding the legal frameworks governing these rights.
Safety and security
No concrete, settlement-level data or statistics regarding Kedamaian's public security situation are available in the examined sources. It may be stated generally that rural areas of Lampung Province — including Kabupaten Tanggamus — are characteristically less densely populated areas with limited urban infrastructure by Indonesian standards, where the public security picture differs from that of larger urban centers. Reliable crime statistics for the province as a whole cannot be applied to Kedamaian; interested parties should obtain current and accurate information from local authorities (administrative bodies of Kabupaten Tanggamus). Standard precautions for travelers — safeguarding valuables, respecting local customs, and acquiring local information — are generally applicable in rural areas of Sumatra as well.
Tourist attractions
No tourist attractions bearing a specific name and directly linked to Kedamaian are listed in available sources. However, the natural attributes of the broader Kota Agung district merit attention: the area is situated near Gunung Tanggamus (Tanggamus Mountain) and along the coast of Teluk Semangko, which are defining natural elements of the district. The volcanic character of Tanggamus Mountain and the coastline of Semangka Bay may offer opportunities for hiking and water activities in the region, though source-based data regarding their organized tourist infrastructure and accessibility in relation to Kedamaian is not available. Within Lampung Province as a whole, such visited locations as Way Kambas National Park (habitat of elephants and rhinoceroses) or the Krakatau volcanic island group in the Sunda Strait are known, but these are located at considerable distance from the Kota Agung area and cannot be considered part of the settlement's immediate sphere of influence.
Summary
Kedamaian is a small Indonesian settlement belonging to Kota Agung kecamatan in the territory of Kabupaten Tanggamus, Lampung Province, on the island of Sumatra. The attributes of the district, situated at the foot of Gunung Tanggamus and near Teluk Semangko, determine the natural and administrative character of the broader region. Direct statistical or tourist sources relating to the settlement are not currently available, and thus the above description relies predominantly on district-level context. Those planning to stay or undertake property transactions within Kabupaten Tanggamus territory should seek current information from local authorities and specialists.
