Cakkeware – a small settlement in the Kecamatan Cenrana area, South Celebes
Cakkeware is an Indonesian village belonging to the Kabupaten Bone administrative unit in Sulawesi Selatan (South Sulawesi) province in southern Celebes, specifically within the Kecamatan Cenrana district. Based on its geographic coordinates (–4.2749524; 120.3493158), it is located in the eastern part of the Celebes Peninsula, in the heart of the distinctive Bugis cultural zone. The seat of Kabupaten Bone is the city of Watampone, located in the Kecamatan Tanete Riattang area. Since available data extends only to the regency level, the following sections interpret Cakkeware's position within the framework of the broader administrative unit.
General overview
An independent, settlement-level description of Cakkeware currently does not appear in publicly accessible Indonesian or international sources, so its characterization is based on general data from Kabupaten Bone. According to the Kabupaten Bone Dalam Angka 2021 publication issued by the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS), the regency covers an area of approximately 4,559 km², where in 2021 a total of 801,775 people lived, of which 391,682 were male and 410,093 were female. The population density averages 162 people/km², which is considered a relatively low figure, indicating that many villages in the kabupaten – likely including Cakkeware – are rural and agricultural in character. Kecamatan Cenrana is an inland district facing the Bone Bay, in some parts divided by river valleys. In the region, the Bugis ethnic presence is culturally and linguistically dominant; the life of local communities has traditionally been shaped by agriculture, fishing, and small-scale trade. No concrete, verifiable data is available about Cakkeware's character and population, so the above framework should be considered authoritative.
Real estate and investment
No independent, factual data is available regarding Cakkeware's real estate market. At the broader kabupaten level, it can be said that Kabupaten Bone is primarily a rural regency based on agriculture and fishing, where property prices are typically significantly lower than in the provincial capital, Makassar. The value of rural plots and residential properties is driven by local factors – road network, water supply, agricultural potential. From an investment perspective, the region's appeal stems primarily from agricultural land and local infrastructure development, rather than from the tourism or industrial sector. It is important to note as a general framework that in Indonesia, foreign nationals cannot acquire full land ownership (Hak Milik); for them, Hak Pakai (right of use) or Hak Sewa (lease right) are the available legal forms, and these rules also apply to the territory of Kabupaten Bone. Since Cakkeware is a small rural community, investor activity is likely modest and primarily limited to local actors, though this cannot be substantiated with direct sources.
Safety and security
No independent, verifiable statistics or sources are available regarding safety and security in Cakkeware. The broader Sulawesi Selatan province, within which Kabupaten Bone is located, is generally considered to have security characteristics typical of rural Indonesian regions: lower population density and stronger community social control are observed in villages compared to major cities. However, it is not justified to cite detailed crime indicators or specific incident numbers regarding Cakkeware or Kecamatan Cenrana, as reliable, verifiable data are not available. Generally speaking, in rural areas of Indonesia, local self-organization and community norms play an important role in maintaining daily order, and this observation is likely true for Cakkeware's broader environment, though it cannot be confirmed with specific statistics.
Tourist attractions
No source-verified data is available regarding specific tourist attractions in Cakkeware. Kabupaten Bone is one of the historical centers of Bugis culture: the area was once the heart of the Bone Kingdom (Kerajaan Bone), and its legacy appears in numerous locations across the wider region, including in museums, royal monuments, and traditional buildings. However, these cultural sites are located in Watampone, the seat of the kabupaten, and in other well-documented settlements, not in Cakkeware. The proximity of Bone Bay to parts of Kecamatan Cenrana may offer fishing and nature-related attractions, though no concrete sources linking these to Cakkeware exist. For those visiting the region, it would be worthwhile to consider the broader cultural and natural heritage of Kabupaten Bone, about which regional authorities in Watampone can provide more detailed information.
Summary
Cakkeware is a small rural settlement in the Kecamatan Cenrana district of Kabupaten Bone in southern Celebes, and detailed source material about it is currently not readily available. Based on data known at the Kabupaten Bone level – approximately 801,775 inhabitants, 4,559 km² area, and low population density – the village suggests the image of a rural, agricultural-character community. The region's broader cultural heritage is connected to Bugis traditions, and the general frameworks applicable to Kabupaten Bone as a whole – real estate market characteristics, security, cultural attractions – provide the most reliable comparative basis for understanding Cakkeware.
