Landasan Ulin Tengah – a South Kalimantan rural settlement in Banjar Baru city
Landasan Ulin Tengah is an Indonesian village (kelurahan or desa) located in Kalimantan Selatan (South Kalimantan) province, administratively belonging to Banjar Baru city (Kota Banjarbaru) and Kecamatan Liang Anggang. The settlement is situated in the southeastern part of Borneo island, at approximately -3.46 northern latitude and 114.73 eastern longitude. Banjar Baru city has been the capital of Kalimantan Selatan province since March 16, 2022, after the province's administrative capital was relocated from Banjarmasin, which had previously held this role. Geographically, Landasan Ulin Tengah is therefore located in proximity to and within the administrative area of the provincial capital, which represents a notable locational factor from the perspective of the broader region.
General overview
Independent, settlement-level statistical or encyclopedic sources for Landasan Ulin Tengah are currently unavailable, and therefore the general characterization of the locality must necessarily rely on the broader administrative and regional context. The settlement belongs to Kecamatan Liang Anggang, which is located in the southern part of Kota Banjarbaru and encompasses the Syamsudin Noor international airport — this infrastructure asset lends regional significance to the entire district. The total population of Kalimantan Selatan province exceeded 4.3 million in the first half of 2025, and the province covers an area of 38,744 km². The province is the traditional homeland of the Banjar ethnic group, which shapes local culture, architectural heritage, and daily life alike. Landasan Ulin Tengah itself, judging from its name, constitutes the central (tengah) portion of the broader settlement area of Landasan Ulin, which together with neighboring kelurahans — such as Landasan Ulin Timur (eastern) or Landasan Ulin Barat (western) — forms a more structured residential zone within Kecamatan Liang Anggang. The village is not considered a prominent tourist destination; rather, it is classified as part of the urbanizing, functional residential zone of the region.
Real estate and investment
Independent, verifiable source data on the real estate market of Landasan Ulin Tengah is unavailable, and therefore the following presentation focuses on broader connections at the Kota Banjarbaru and Kalimantan Selatan levels. The establishment of Banjar Baru as a provincial capital in 2022 naturally intensified interest in properties within the city and its peripheral areas, as the concentration of government functions typically results in infrastructure development, job creation, and rising property prices. Kecamatan Liang Anggang — due to its proximity to the airport and accessibility to main road networks — may also attract attention from the perspective of logistics and industrial real estate development. It is important to note, however, that in Indonesia, foreign nationals are legally restricted in acquiring property: full ownership rights (Hak Milik) cannot be obtained by foreigners; instead, lease arrangements (Hak Sewa) or Hak Pakai title may be applied under specified conditions. Prior to making investment decisions, it is strongly recommended to engage local legal experts and property agents, particularly given the ongoing capital development processes and the changing regulatory environment.
Safety and security
Specific crime statistics or settlement-level public security data for Landasan Ulin Tengah are not available in the sources consulted. Generally speaking, Kalimantan Selatan province — and within it the Banjar Baru region — is counted among Indonesia's relatively stable regions; the province is not listed among Indonesian areas with particularly high crime rates according to available general assessments. Urbanizing peripheral zones — such as Kecamatan Liang Anggang — may typically be characterized by minor property crimes, as in similar suburban areas elsewhere in Indonesia, though concrete, settlement-specific data for Landasan Ulin Tengah is not accessible. For travelers and property seekers, the usual precautions — safeguarding valuables and familiarizing oneself with local conditions before arrival — are generally recommended throughout Indonesia.
Tourist attractions
Landasan Ulin Tengah is not known as a distinctive tourist destination in itself, and available sources do not identify tourist attractions within the village. However, the broader Banjar Baru and Kalimantan Selatan region contains several points of interest documented in verifiable sources. Kalimantan Selatan province is known for the rich cultural heritage of the Banjar ethnic group, traces of which are evident throughout the province in the form of traditional buildings and cultural festivals. Banjarmasin, the former provincial capital, which lies only a few dozen kilometers away by air from Banjar Baru, is renowned for its floating markets (pasar terapung) and represents one of the region's most well-known tourist attractions. Among the province's natural assets is the Meratus mountain range, which runs through the interior regions of Kalimantan Selatan and constitutes a destination for local nature tourism. In the case of Landasan Ulin Tengah, the nearest everyday infrastructure is the Syamsudin Noor airport — which can be linked to Kecamatan Liang Anggang's territory — though this is a transportation facility rather than a tourist one.
Summary
Landasan Ulin Tengah is an Indonesian rural settlement located in Kalimantan Selatan province, in Kecamatan Liang Anggang of Kota Banjarbaru, for which independent, detailed source material is not available. The locality lies within the administrative area of Banjar Baru, which has served as the provincial capital since 2022, a status that may carry growing significance for the broader region in terms of infrastructure development and the real estate market. From a tourism perspective, the surrounding region — Banjarmasin's floating markets, the Meratus mountain range, Banjar cultural traditions — offers points of interest; the village itself functions primarily as a residential zone. For more comprehensive and current information, local government sources or the official databases of Kota Banjarbaru are recommended.
