Lebak Pering – a small village in South Sumatra's Ogan Ilir Regency
Lebak Pering is an Indonesian village (desa) located in Ogan Ilir Regency in South Sumatra (Sumatera Selatan), belonging to the Pemulutan Selatan District. Based on its coordinates (-3.2111997, 104.8075245), it lies in the central part of the province, south of Palembang city. The broader administrative unit, Sumatera Selatan province, is headed by Palembang, which according to end-of-2024 data has approximately 9.1 million residents. Since settlement-level statistical data is currently unavailable, the following sections present information at broader levels – district, regency, and province – clearly indicating to which level each piece of information applies.
General overview
Lebak Pering is not among Indonesia's widely recognized settlements; available public sources contain no dedicated article or detailed description of this village. Its placement within Pemulutan Selatan District means the settlement falls within the southeastern, low-lying, flood-prone plains of Ogan Ilir Regency – a region characteristic of Sumatera Selatan as a typical river valley agricultural area. The region as a whole is characterized by extensive rice fields, fish ponds, and riparian vegetation stretching along the Musi River and its tributaries. Ogan Ilir Regency became an independent administrative unit in 2003 when it was separated from the former Ogan Komering Ilir Regency; its capital is Indralaya. The district itself, Pemulutan Selatan, is a relatively small administrative unit whose settlements are primarily built around agricultural and fishing activities. In the case of Lebak Pering, these broader regional characteristics are plausible, but concrete village-specific data – such as population size or built area – cannot be determined from available sources.
Real estate and investment
No direct, settlement-level data is available regarding Lebak Pering's real estate market. Broader context is provided by the general situation in Ogan Ilir Regency and Sumatera Selatan Province. Palembang, the provincial capital, is the region's economic and commercial center, where the real estate market is more active and liquid than in rural districts. In smaller villages like Lebak Pering, property transactions are characteristically low-intensity, with land and building values primarily influenced by agricultural utility and accessibility to Palembang. Sumatera Selatan Province possesses natural resources (petroleum, natural gas, coal), which over the longer term may affect infrastructure development within the region, indirectly affecting the real estate situation in smaller villages as well. An important general note is that in Indonesia, foreigners cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over real estate; instead, forms such as Hak Pakai (usufruct rights) and in certain cases Hak Sewa (lease rights) are available to them, with conditions governed by legal frameworks and requiring consultation with legal advisors.
Safety and security
No settlement-level public safety statistics or analysis pertaining to Lebak Pering are found in available sources. Generally speaking, in rural areas of Sumatera Selatan Province, including smaller villages in Ogan Ilir Regency, daily life typically unfolds within the framework of local community norms and traditions. In larger cities – including Palembang – authorities maintain a more active public safety presence and regular crime records, but these data cannot be automatically extrapolated to small rural villages. For anyone intending to stay in or relocate to the region, becoming acquainted with local conditions requires consulting current Indonesian official advisories and on-site experience, since reliable conclusions about a specific small village cannot be drawn from general regional data alone.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist attractions pertaining to Lebak Pering are listed in available sources. The region's most significant tourism and historical center is Palembang city, which from the 7th to the 14th centuries served as the capital of the Buddhist Srivijaya Kingdom (Kedatuan Sriwijaya) and was one of Southeast Asia's most influential political and commercial centers. The Srivijaya legacy left numerous archaeological and cultural monuments throughout the province, and Palembang today possesses important cultural attractions. Within Ogan Ilir Regency, Indralaya itself, the regency capital, functions primarily as an administrative and educational center (home to a campus of Sriwijaya University) rather than as a tourist destination. Pemulutan Selatan District and its immediate surroundings may be of interest primarily to those drawn to river valley landscapes and local traditional ways of life, though no source-based data is available regarding systematic tourist infrastructure development or designated conservation areas in this connection.
Summary
Lebak Pering is a small rural settlement in Pemulutan Selatan District of Ogan Ilir Regency in Sumatera Selatan Province, for which detailed, village-specific data is not yet available from public sources. The broader region – Ogan Ilir Regency and Sumatera Selatan Province – is characterized by its agricultural nature, relative proximity to Palembang, and the province's richness in natural resources, providing the context within which the settlement can be situated. Any specific decision – whether regarding real estate purchase, investment, or visit planning – requires reliable on-site and legal information, since general provincial data cannot substitute for village-specific knowledge.
