Data – a small settlement in Mare subdistrict, Kabupaten Bone, South Sulawesi
Data is an Indonesian village (desa/kelurahan) located within the Kabupaten Bone administrative unit in Sulawesi Selatan (South Sulawesi) province, belonging to Mare subdistrict. Based on its coordinates (-4.7977; 120.3724), it is situated in the southern part of Sulawesi island. Kabupaten Bone is one of the largest and historically significant regencies in the province, with its administrative seat in the city of Watampone (also known as Bone). Detailed descriptions of Mare subdistrict are not directly available in accessible Indonesian encyclopedic sources; therefore, the following presentation provides verifiable context at the broader regency and provincial level, which is clearly indicated at all relevant points in this description.
General overview
Data settlement does not appear in widely available public sources, which indicates it is a smaller, agricultural or rural community not counted among the settlements of Kabupaten Bone that are tourism or economically prominent. Mare subdistrict is part of Kabupaten Bone, and the characteristic way of life in surrounding areas is based on agriculture – primarily rice cultivation, corn, and other staple food production – as widely observed in the interior regions of South Sulawesi. Kabupaten Bone as a whole is divided into approximately thirty subdistricts, and the regency's population is in the hundreds of thousands, though an independently sourced population figure for Data village is not currently available. The region's natural environment is characterized by hilly-mountainous interior areas and river valleys, which form the typical landscape of southern Sulawesi. Watampone city, the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of Kabupaten Bone, is connected by road to the settlements of Mare subdistrict.
Real estate and investment
No specific, verifiable real estate market data is available for Data settlement. In broader context, the real estate market of Kabupaten Bone is characteristic of rural areas in South Sulawesi – a moderately active market where the majority of transactions occur between local actors, and property prices are significantly lower than those in the provincial capital, Makassar. In Sulawesi Selatan province, real estate development focus is primarily concentrated around Makassar and its immediate agglomeration; in interior, rural regencies such as Bone, the real estate market develops organically according to local needs, and is not characterized by significant speculative or investment activity. For foreign nationals, direct land ownership is not possible under the general framework of Indonesian land law (Undang-Undang Pokok Agraria); foreign persons may acquire property-related rights only under specified, limited-term titles (for example, Hak Pakai – usage rights), and local legal consultation is recommended for all such transactions.
Safety and security
No specific, settlement-level sources are available regarding the public safety situation in Data or Mare subdistrict. Generally speaking, in rural areas of Sulawesi Selatan province, including the subdistricts of Kabupaten Bone, the public safety situation develops in a manner characteristic of smaller, close-knit communities: local social control and community cohesion play traditionally strong roles in maintaining order. At the provincial level, Makassar, as a major city, naturally faces different challenges than rural interior areas. As with all travel or stays in rural Indonesian regions, general travel safety recommendations apply: respect for local customs, discreet handling of valuables, and willingness to cooperate with authorities are advisable. For travellers from Hungary, the current travel advisory notices of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs are authoritative in all cases.
Tourist attractions
No specific, source-supported tourist attractions are identified for Data village in available materials. Regarding the broader surroundings – namely Kabupaten Bone – it can be reliably noted that the regency is one of the historical heartlands of the Bugis ethnic group, and Watampone city – the regency's seat – possesses cultural heritage connected to the history of the once-flourishing Bone Kingdom. The rich cultural traditions of the Bugis community, traditional wooden ship-building, and the area's traditional craft forms are generally known regarding the region, but these are documented primarily in the regency's centre and at other more tourism-developed sites. Based on available source materials, no specific named attractions can be identified for Data and Mare subdistrict.
Summary
Data is a small rural settlement in South Sulawesi, in Mare subdistrict, Kabupaten Bone, for which detailed settlement-level public documentation is not yet available. The agricultural way of life characteristic of the broader region, Kabupaten Bone, the Bugis cultural heritage, and the moderate, locally-oriented real estate market provide the context into which Data fits. From the perspective of visitors and investors, an understanding of the location is better served by knowledge at the regency level than by the presently very limited data directly available about the village.
