Islam – kelurahan in Tuminting district of Manado city, North Sulawesi province
Islam is a kelurahan (administrative unit) in Indonesia's North Sulawesi (Sulawesi Utara) province, which belongs to Manado city and within it to the Tuminting kecamatan. Based on its coordinates (1.5060028°N, 124.84793°E), it is located in the northernmost areas of Sulawesi island, in the northern part of Manado city. According to the source material, North Sulawesi province is bordered to the east and south by the Maluku Sea, to the north by Davao Occidental province (Philippine Islands), to the west by the Sulawesi Sea and Gorontalo province. The seat of the province is Manado itself, and Islam kelurahan also falls within its administrative territory.
General overview
Islam kelurahan, as part of Tuminting kecamatan, constitutes one of the smaller administrative subdivisions of Manado city. The settlement's name is unusual among the region's kelurahans, but in itself does not point to any special historical event, merely reflecting local naming traditions. Since direct, settlement-level statistical sources were not available, the exact population size and territorial extent are unknown. According to available provincial-level source material, North Sulawesi province had a total of 2,645,291 inhabitants at the end of 2024, and its area was 13,892.47 km². The province is divided into 4 cities and 11 regencies, comprising a total of 1,664 desa/kelurahans. Manado, as the provincial capital, represents a relatively densely populated urban area with developed infrastructure. Tuminting kecamatan typically encompasses a coastal strip close to the city, and the communities living there derive their livelihoods significantly from fishing, small-scale trade, and service sectors connected to the urban economy. Islam kelurahan is one component of this kecamatan, and thus these contextual characteristics provide a valid framework for it as well, although local-level sources would be necessary to confirm specific data.
Real estate and investment
No direct, verifiable source is available regarding the real estate market of Islam kelurahan; therefore, the following must take into account the broader Manado urban and North Sulawesi provincial context. Manado is one of Indonesia's dynamically developing regional cities, and its real estate market is sustained by the province's administrative and economic central role, the expansion of tourism, and public and private infrastructure investments. Tuminting kecamatan is located close to the city, in an area relatively neighboring the coast, which generally increases property values and investment interest, but we currently do not have specific, kelurahan-level data on the extent of this. Based on the general framework of Indonesian real estate regulations, it can be stated that foreign natural persons cannot acquire full ownership rights to Indonesian real estate; for them, the so-called Hak Pakai (usage rights) framework is available, which provides time-limited, renewable entitlements. Through corporate structures (PT PMA), other options also open up, but their details always depend on current legislation and the type of property in question. The involvement of local legal and real estate market experts is essential before any investment decision.
Safety and security
No settlement-level crime statistics or other verifiable sources are available regarding the public security of Islam kelurahan. The broader region, namely Manado and North Sulawesi province, is generally counted among Indonesia's relatively stable provinces with fewer conflicts than average, although this does not automatically mean a problem-free public security situation in all city districts. Manado, as a regional capital, has adequate police infrastructure and public security presence, which extends to urban districts including Tuminting kecamatan. It is advisable to always assess local conditions based on the most current local sources, as general provincial or city-level assessments do not necessarily reflect the specific situation of individual kelurahans. With regard to natural hazards, available provincial-level source material notes that North Sulawesi's territory is located on the edge of the Sunda Plate and numerous volcanoes are found in the region, which means seismic and volcanic natural hazards for the region as a whole.
Tourist attractions
No tourist attractions directly linked to Islam kelurahan and identifiable from sources are known. Within the broader city, Manado offers numerous tourist attractions known even at the North Sulawesi level, which can be reached from Tuminting kecamatan. The province takes pride in Bunaken National Park, which is recognized as one of the world's most significant marine biodiversity dive sites and is located directly near Manado in the Sulawesi Sea. The region's natural resources are also confirmed by available provincial-level source material: North Sulawesi consists of a group of 287 islands, of which 59 are inhabited, the coastline length is 2,395.99 km, and forest coverage is 701,885 hectares. These figures indicate the natural wealth of the region, of which the residents of urban areas such as Islam kelurahan belonging to Tuminting kecamatan are also direct beneficiaries. However, due to the lack of source data, we must refrain from listing specific attractions linked to this kelurahan.
Summary
Islam kelurahan is located in Tuminting kecamatan of Manado city, in North Sulawesi province, in the northern part of Sulawesi island. Independently, few verifiable, settlement-level information is available about it; its context is provided primarily by Manado as the provincial capital and by Tuminting kecamatan. When assessing real estate market, public security, and tourist considerations, the broader urban and provincial framework must be used as the basis, and interested parties should always rely on up-to-date local sources and experts.
