Landasan Ulin Selatan – a settlement in Banjar Baru city, South Kalimantan Province
Landasan Ulin Selatan is an Indonesian settlement (kelurahan) belonging to the Liang Anggang district (kecamatan) in Banjar Baru city (Kota Banjarbaru), South Kalimantan (Kalimantan Selatan) Province, on the island of Borneo. Based on its coordinates, it is situated within an urbanizing zone of South Kalimantan Province lying to the south. Since March 16, 2022, Banjar Baru city has served as the official capital of South Kalimantan Province, a role previously held by Banjarmasin. The name suggests that the settlement is associated with a southern area within the Liang Anggang administrative unit.
General overview
Landasan Ulin Selatan belongs to the Liang Anggang kecamatan, which forms part of Kota Banjarbaru's administration. Since detailed statistical sources specific to the settlement are not available, local conditions must be inferred from broader regency and provincial-level data. South Kalimantan Province covers an area of 38,744 km² and, according to early 2025 data, has a population of approximately 4.33 million, a significant portion of which comprises the ethnically dominant Banjar people. Banjarbaru – of which Landasan Ulin Selatan is a part – has become an increasingly important center for the province in administrative, educational, and healthcare functions over the past decades, particularly since the provincial capital function relocated there from Banjarmasin. The Liang Anggang district is located in the southern segment of the agglomeration, where areas of mixed character are typically found, with partly residential and partly commercial and industrial functions. Landasan Ulin Selatan itself is a relatively obscure, locally significant settlement that primarily serves residential functions within the Banjar Baru agglomeration, in contrast to well-documented, tourist-visited locations.
Real estate and investment
Concrete real estate market data specific to Landasan Ulin Selatan is not available in the examined sources; therefore, the following reflects general context at the level of broader Kota Banjarbaru and South Kalimantan Province. Banjarbaru and its immediate surroundings have become a dynamically developing city in the province in recent years, partly due to administrative reorganization – namely, the relocation of the capital function. Administrative developments of this type generally stimulate the local real estate market, increase infrastructure investments, and boost demand for residential properties among both local residents and incoming civil servants. The Liang Anggang district, as the city's southern peripheral zone, is likely at an earlier stage of urbanization than the city center, which may suggest lower land prices and development opportunities – however, this article does not provide specific data on this matter. Generally speaking, in Indonesia, direct land ownership by foreign nationals (Hak Milik) is legally restricted: foreigners may legally acquire property through rental arrangements, involvement of a nominal local owner, or special titles designated for foreign ownership (such as Hak Pakai). Before any investment decision, an individual legal review of current Indonesian real estate regulations and local authority requirements is essential.
Safety and security
Statistical data on public safety specific to Landasan Ulin Selatan does not appear in available sources; therefore, the following characterization reflects the general situation of the broader region, framed with appropriate caution. South Kalimantan Province and Banjarbaru city, like major Indonesian cities, present a mixed picture regarding public safety. Functioning as the provincial capital, Banjarbaru is considered a relatively orderly city with dense provision of administrative and educational institutions, which generally has a favorable impact on public order. Peripheral districts, including parts of the Liang Anggang district, may face general challenges associated with urbanization pressure – such as traffic safety, the presence of informal economic activities, or uneven infrastructure development. Nevertheless, citing generalized crime statistics without source documentation is not justified. Standard caution and maintaining contact with local authorities are recommended for travelers and residents alike.
Tourist attractions
The available source material does not contain named tourist attractions specifically linked to Landasan Ulin Selatan; therefore, the settlement itself is not considered a known tourist destination. However, the broader Kota Banjarbaru and South Kalimantan Province possess numerous characteristics worthy of attention for those interested in Borneo. The province is the traditional homeland of Banjar ethnic culture, which features distinctive built heritage, traditional handicraft products, and local customs. In the broader Banjarbaru area, educational and cultural institutions can be found, while Borneo island itself attracts nature enthusiasts and researchers because of its rainforest ecology, river transport, and unique biological diversity – these, however, are generally associated with other, more remote districts of the province. Landasan Ulin Selatan itself belongs more to urban agglomeration residential blocks than to a tourist destination.
Summary
Landasan Ulin Selatan is a relatively underdocumented, locally significant settlement in the Liang Anggang district of Kota Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan Province. Its broader city, Banjarbaru, has served as the province's administrative capital since 2022, a determining fact regarding the region's development dynamics. Specific demographic, tourist, or real estate market sources relating to the settlement are not available; therefore, understanding it depends on context at the Kota Banjarbaru and South Kalimantan Province levels. For those interested, it is recommended in all cases to contact local authorities or reliable local sources directly for current and detailed information.
