Landasan Ulin Utara – settlement in Banjar Baru city, South Kalimantan
Landasan Ulin Utara is a settlement (kelurahan or desa) in South Kalimantan (Kalimantan Selatan) province in Indonesia, located in the southern part of Borneo island. In administrative terms, it belongs to the Liang Anggang district (kecamatan), which falls under the jurisdiction of Banjar Baru city (Kota Banjarbaru). Based on the settlement's coordinates, it is located south of the city, near the Syamsudin Noor airport area, a region that has undergone significant development in recent decades. The available source materials do not contain detailed information specifically about Landasan Ulin Utara, so the environmental and territorial context is presented below based on verifiable characteristics of the broader region — Kota Banjarbaru and Kalimantan Selatan province.
General overview
Landasan Ulin Utara belongs to the Liang Anggang kecamatan, which is part of the Kota Banjarbaru administrative unit. Since March 16, 2022, Banjarbaru has been the official seat of Kalimantan Selatan province, having assumed this role from Banjarmasin, which previously held this function. This transition was accompanied by significant administrative and infrastructural developments, affecting the entire city area, including the Liang Anggang district. The province's total area is 38,744 km², and in the first half of 2025 it had a population of 4,330,144. Kalimantan Selatan is primarily home to the Banjar ethnic group, whose culture, language, and customs define the region's social character. The name Landasan Ulin Utara derives from the place designation "Landasan Ulin" — "ulin" is the Indonesian name for the ironwood tree species native to Borneo, which was an important element of the region's traditional architecture and forestry practices. The word "Utara" means north, indicating that the area forms the northern part of a larger district called Landasan Ulin. The proximity of Syamsudin Noor international airport — which is also located in the Banjarbaru area — makes the Liang Anggang district relatively accessible from a transportation perspective.
Real estate and investment
Independent settlement-level real estate market data for Landasan Ulin Utara is not available in the accessible sources. Considering the broader context, however, it can be said that Kota Banjarbaru, as the new provincial seat of Kalimantan Selatan, has received increased development attention in recent years, which generally has a positive impact on the real estate market of surrounding areas as well. Districts with good infrastructure located near the airport — such as the Liang Anggang kecamatan — are typically considered sought-after residential and commercial areas in a developing Indonesian city. In Indonesia, land ownership regulations are restricted for foreign citizens: "Hak Milik" (full ownership) is exclusively available to Indonesian citizens. Foreigners can only hold property in the form of "Hak Pakai" (use rights) or "Hak Sewa" (lease rights), which makes legal advice advisable before making an investment decision. These general rules apply to Kalimantan Selatan province, and thus to the areas within Banjar Baru city.
Safety and security
Verifiable statistical data on public safety in Landasan Ulin Utara is not available. In general terms, it can be said that Kota Banjarbaru, as a medium-sized Indonesian urban administrative unit, represents a relatively orderly and well-organized part of the province, particularly since it became the provincial seat. The presence of the airport and associated logistics zones in the Liang Anggang area generally brings with it more intensive official and public security presence. Nevertheless, due to lack of sources, we refrain from providing specific crime data, incident counts, or comparative indicators. Standard precautions common among travelers and property seekers — such as securing valuables and acquiring prior knowledge of local conditions — are generally recommended in Indonesia and are not limited to this particular area.
Tourist attractions
The available source materials do not contain data on named tourist attractions within Landasan Ulin Utara. However, the broader Kota Banjarbaru and Kalimantan Selatan region offers numerous verifiable sites of interest that are accessible from the area. The Lambung Mangkurat Museum is located in Banjarbaru city, one of the most significant historical and ethnographic collections in Kalimantan Selatan province, dedicated to presenting Banjar culture and Borneo's natural heritage. The region as a whole is characterized by traditional Banjar architecture, riverbank ways of life, and the presence of tropical forests. The Barito and Martapura river areas, as well as the floating markets (pasar terapung) found in the southern part of the province, are considered well-known cultural attractions in Kalimantan Selatan, although these are typically found closer to Banjarmasin. Precise distance data from Landasan Ulin Utara to these locations cannot be reliably provided due to lack of independent sources.
Summary
Landasan Ulin Utara is a settlement belonging to the Liang Anggang district of Kota Banjarbaru, the new seat of Kalimantan Selatan province, located in the southern part of Borneo. As a result of the province's 2022 administrative reorganization, Banjarbaru has assumed an increasingly important role in the region, which also affects the districts under its jurisdiction, including the Liang Anggang kecamatan located in the airport's vicinity. Detailed settlement-level data — population, independent attractions, local real estate prices — are not available from the accessible sources, so these characteristics could only be presented within the context of the broader regency and provincial relationships. To become acquainted with the area, on-site orientation and consultation with Indonesian administrative and real estate specialists is recommended.
