Alliritengae – a village in Kecamatan Turikale, Kabupaten Maros
Alliritengae is a smaller settlement in Sulawesi Selatan (South Sulawesi) province in Indonesia, located within the administrative district of Kabupaten Maros and belonging to Kecamatan Turikale. Based on its coordinates (−5.0078° S, 119.5709° E), it is situated in the southwestern part of Sulawesi island, relatively close to Makassar, the provincial capital. Currently, no independent Wikipedia or other public source material specifically documenting this settlement is available; therefore, the characteristics of the broader administrative units — Kecamatan Turikale, Kabupaten Maros, and Sulawesi Selatan — provide context in the following sections.
General overview
Alliritengae is one of the villages of Kecamatan Turikale. Turikale itself is one of the central kecamatan of Kabupaten Maros, within whose territory lies Maros city, the seat of the kabupaten. Kabupaten Maros extends directly to the north and east of Makassar (Kota Makassar) and is closely connected to the major city in administrative and economic terms. The regency covers approximately 1,600 square kilometers, and according to the 2020 Indonesian census, its total population approached 380,000 — these are kabupaten-level figures that cannot be directly broken down for Alliritengae. The terrain of the area is varied, ranging from plains near the coast to the steep rock faces and deep gorges of the Maros–Pangkep karst mountain range, which constitute the regency's most distinctive natural features. Based on its coordinates, Alliritengae may be located in the more urbanized part of the kecamatan, close to the kabupaten seat; however, reliable, verifiable data on the settlement's built-up density and infrastructure is not currently available.
Real estate and investment
Specific real estate market data for Alliritengae is not publicly accessible; therefore, the following reflects generally observable market trends in Kabupaten Maros and the Makassar metropolitan area. Over the past decade, Kabupaten Maros has increasingly become part of the expanded urban region around Makassar: Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport operates within the kabupaten's territory, which raises the area's strategic value from both logistical and residential real estate perspectives. Due to proximity to the major city, growth in real estate interest has been noticeable in areas near Kecamatan Turikale, particularly in the residential property segment. Regarding foreign buyers, according to Indonesia's general regulations, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership (Hak Milik) of Indonesian land; for them, primarily long-term lease arrangements (Hak Sewa), Hak Pakai (usage rights), and investment through the PT PMA framework are available options. This general legal framework applies throughout the country, including Sulawesi Selatan province and Kabupaten Maros. In the absence of reliable sources on specific local land prices and development projects at Alliritengae level, verified data cannot be provided.
Safety and security
Publicly verifiable public security statistics specifically for Alliritengae are not available. Regarding the broader region of Sulawesi Selatan and the Makassar agglomeration within it, it can be noted in general terms that the province — as one of Indonesia's most densely populated regions — presents a complex security picture: certain districts of the major city experience minor petty crime, while the more rural parts of the kabupatens typically have a quieter situation. Kabupaten Maros is not listed among areas specifically highlighted for security attention according to publicly available general guidelines from Indonesian authorities. However, drawing any specific conclusions regarding Alliritengae would require access to current local sources, which are not currently available.
Tourist attractions
Verifiable sources on Alliritengae's direct tourist appeal are not available. Considering Kabupaten Maros as a whole, one of the region's most renowned natural attractions is Taman Nasional Bantimurung–Bulusaraung (also known as Bantimurung National Park), which is mentioned by locals and Indonesian tourism publications alike and is known for its waterfalls, limestone gorges, and rich butterfly fauna — the latter earned it the nickname "the kingdom of butterflies," a designation also recorded in the travel notes of 19th-century naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. The cave systems of the Maros–Pangkep karst mountain range are also associated with the kabupaten's territory and form one of the world's longest corridor cave networks. Additionally, the region contains numerous ancient rock art findings, which are ranked in the scholarly literature among humanity's earliest figurative cave paintings. These attractions are linked to the broader area of Kabupaten Maros; precise data on their exact distance from Alliritengae is not available.
Summary
Alliritengae is a South Sulawesi settlement belonging to Kecamatan Turikale district in Kabupaten Maros, which, due to its proximity to the Makassar agglomeration, is potentially connected to the region's urbanization and economic processes. Currently, no independent, verifiable source material on the village is available; the known context is provided by the generally documented characteristics of the kabupaten and the province. The area is made known primarily through the natural and cultural values of Bantimurung National Park and the Maros–Pangkep karst landscape on the Indonesian tourism map.
