Dabuk Makmur – village in Mesuji Raya District, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency
Dabuk Makmur is an Indonesian village (desa) belonging to Kecamatan Mesuji Raya in Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir, Sumatera Selatan province, within the Sumatra macroregion. Based on its coordinates, the village is situated at approximately -3.76° south latitude and 105.16° east longitude, a location characteristic of the eastern, low-lying, swampy areas of South Sumatra. No independent, verifiable source material exists specifically about this village; the description below is based on available regency-level data and geographic context, which is clearly indicated throughout.
General overview
Dabuk Makmur is not among the settlements widely known in the context of Indonesian tourism or the international real estate market. The settlement's name does not appear in dedicated entries in accessible encyclopedic sources, so verified facts cannot be provided regarding the character, size, or precise demographic data of the locality. However, the broader administrative unit to which the village belongs—Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir—is the largest regency by area in South Sumatra: it covers 17,071.33 km² and has a population of approximately 786,703 according to available data. The regency's administrative center is Kecamatan Kayu Agung, which is also part of the Patungraya Agung metropolitan area centered on Palembang. Kecamatan Mesuji Raya, to which Dabuk Makmur belongs, is located in the eastern, swampy-lowland zone of the regency. The Ogan Komering Ilir regency as a whole extends from the eastern coast of South Sumatra to near Palembang, and its territory is fundamentally characterized by low-lying plains and extensive wetlands. This geomorphological condition determines the agricultural practices and infrastructure development typical in the region.
Real estate and investment
No verified, specifically cited data is available regarding Dabuk Makmur's real estate market, land prices, or local investment processes. Regarding the Ogan Komering Ilir regency as a whole, the region's economic profile is determined primarily by agriculture, paper manufacturing, and forestry: within the regency, in Kecamatan Air Sugihan, operates PT OKI Pulp and Paper, a major paper mill facility of the APP Sinar Mas group. This significant corporate presence is relevant to industrial employment, infrastructure, and local real estate demand in the broader region, though precise data on how this affects Dabuk Makmur's immediate surroundings cannot be provided. Generally speaking, according to Indonesian property law, foreigners cannot acquire direct land ownership in the country; for them, the so-called Hak Pakai (use rights) and various corporate structures provide the framework for obtaining real estate access—this regulation applies across all of Indonesia, including South Sumatra. The market for agriculturally and industrially utilized land in the region exhibits different dynamics than in tourism-developed areas (such as Bali or Lombok), where foreign investors are more active.
Safety and security
No specific public safety statistics or police data regarding Dabuk Makmur is available in accessible sources. Regarding the broader context, it can be stated that in rural, low-density areas of South Sumatra province—such as the swampy-lowland zone of Ogan Komering Ilir regency—police and public service presence is generally less concentrated than in larger cities. In the province, industrial and agricultural character villages that are relatively isolated are typically characterized by everyday security based fundamentally on local community norms and traditional structures. For any concrete risk analysis or pre-travel information, current, verified guidance from Indonesian authorities and relevant consular services is recommended.
Tourist attractions
Available source material makes no mention of named tourist attractions, natural sights, cultural heritage sites, or religious objects in the immediate vicinity of Dabuk Makmur. Ogan Komering Ilir regency itself is not a prominent tourist destination within the region: the area's characteristic low-lying wetland and river system—including the watershed of the Ogan and Komering rivers—carries natural geographic interest, but is minimally developed in terms of organized tourism. The regency's administrative and economic center, Kayu Agung, benefits from its proximity to Palembang as part of the Patungraya Agung metropolitan area; Palembang, as a provincial capital and historical center (former seat of the Srivijaya kingdom), is itself a tourism-relevant destination, but it is located many kilometers from Dabuk Makmur, in the northwest direction of the regency, and cannot be considered part of the immediate local offering.
Summary
Dabuk Makmur is a sparsely documented, rural village in South Sumatra located within the Kecamatan Mesuji Raya administrative unit, in the low-lying, swampy territory of Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. The regency itself, as the largest kabupaten by area in South Sumatra, has an agricultural and industrial character but is not prominent as a tourist destination. No verified, detailed data exists specifically about the village, so specific conclusions regarding the settlement can only be interpreted within the context of the broader region. For those requiring more precise, on-site information, contact with local administrative bodies or official sources of Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir is recommended.
