Bumi Dana – a village in Way Tuba District, Kabupaten Way Kanan, Lampung Province
Bumi Dana is a small Sumatran settlement that administratively belongs to Kecamatan Way Tuba, within Kabupaten Way Kanan regency, in Lampung Province. Based on its coordinates (−4.44° southern latitude, 104.38° eastern longitude), the settlement is situated in the southern part of Sumatra, in the interior regions of Lampung. Lampung Province is one of Indonesia's southern provinces, with its capital in Bandar Lampung city. No independent, detailed administrative or demographic sources are available for Bumi Dana; therefore, this guide relies on verified information available at the level of the province and region.
General overview
Bumi Dana is located within the Kecamatan Way Tuba administrative unit, which forms part of Kabupaten Way Kanan. Way Kanan regency extends across the northern interior regions of Lampung Province and is primarily known as an agricultural area. The interior districts of Lampung are generally based on plantation agriculture: coffee, rubber (hevea), and palm oil are the most common crops, forming the foundation of the local economy. Since no population data or reliable detailed administrative descriptions are available for Bumi Dana, only indirect conclusions can be drawn about the settlement's size and character: villages belonging to Way Tuba District are typically small rural communities whose livelihoods are closely tied to agricultural production and local trade serving it. In 2025, Lampung Province has a recorded total population of 9,272,142 people, with a population density of 280 people/km², which is considered relatively high among Sumatran provinces and indicates discernible migratory pressure in the province's interior regions as well.
Real estate and investment
No directly available settlement-level sources exist for Bumi Dana's real estate market. In broader context, it can be stated that the real estate market in Kabupaten Way Kanan and the interior regions of Lampung fundamentally differs from that in coastal or capital-adjacent areas: prices are typically significantly lower, transaction volume is smaller, and primary demand is driven by agricultural land purchases. From an investment perspective, the pace of infrastructure development and the quality of transportation connections are determining factors in Lampung's interior villages. Generally speaking, Lampung Province has undergone a form of internal transformation in recent decades: areas near Bandar Lampung and southern ports have gained in value, while in more remote interior districts — including parts of Way Kanan regency — real estate market activity has remained more moderate. For foreign citizens, Indonesian land law (Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria) imposes strict restrictions: foreigners cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over Indonesian real estate, only certain limited legal titles (such as Hak Pakai, or usage rights) are available to them, and the conditions of these vary by area. Before any concrete real estate transaction, involvement of a local legal expert is essential.
Safety and security
No settlement-level statistics or police data on Bumi Dana's public security are available from verifiable sources. Regarding the broader region, that is Lampung Province, it can be said that the province's interior rural districts generally present a calmer environment than major cities or busier coastal areas. However, in certain districts of Lampung Province — particularly along main roads — problems related to traffic safety and minor crime have occurred in recent decades, to which provincial authorities continuously respond. Since Bumi Dana is a small village community, local social bonds and community oversight are generally stronger than in cities, but this does not provide automatic guarantee. For travelers and those intending to settle, direct contact with the local community and current, on-site information represent the most reliable sources for assessing public security.
Tourist attractions
No tourism-related attractions verifiable from sources are known to be associated with Bumi Dana. The broader region, Kabupaten Way Kanan and the interior areas of Lampung Province, are rich in natural values; however, specific named attractions can only be mentioned on the basis of verified sources available at the provincial level. In the southern part of Lampung Province, at distance from Way Kanan regency, the province's better-known natural assets include areas around Selat Sunda (Sunda Strait) and ferry crossings that traverse the province's southern tip, connecting the region to Java. However, these attractions and transportation hubs lie at significant geographic distance from Bumi Dana. In the interior areas of the Way Kanan region, the agricultural landscape and the natural vegetation surrounding it form the visual environment, but their tourism infrastructure and organized reception capacity are not characteristic based on available data. Those interested in Lampung Province's natural or cultural attractions may more usefully seek information from well-documented locations in the province, accessible from Bandar Lampung city.
Summary
Bumi Dana is an interior rural community in Lampung Province located in Kecamatan Way Tuba District, Kabupaten Way Kanan, for which no detailed independent source material is available. The settlement's character fits within the rural, agricultural nature of Lampung's interior regions. Lampung Province overall is one of the most populous and economically active provinces in southern Sumatra, with real estate markets and tourism in its interior districts remaining moderately developed to date. For more specific information related to Bumi Dana, it is advisable to consult local administrative sources or direct on-site information.
