Kadolomoko – small settlement in Kecamatan Kokalukuna district, Baubau City
Kadolomoko is an Indonesian settlement belonging to Kecamatan Kokalukuna, within Kota Baubau (Baubau City), in Southeast Sulawesi Province (Sulawesi Tenggara). Based on its geographical coordinates, the settlement is located on the southeastern peninsula of Celebes island, approximately at -5.46 latitude and 122.62 east longitude. Baubau itself is one of the most significant urban areas in Sulawesi Tenggara, its center historically serving as the seat of the ancient Buton Sultanate. While the provincial capital is Kendari, Baubau holds a prominent economic and cultural role in the region from a regional perspective.
General overview
Kadolomoko lacks independent, detailed Wikipedia-level documentation, thus the following contextual presentation is based on verifiable characteristics of Kecamatan Kokalukuna and Kota Baubau, as well as Southeast Sulawesi Province. Kokalukuna district forms one of the administrative subdivisions of Baubau's jurisdiction; Baubau city proper is an autonomous city unit (kota) located in the northern part of Buton island, and its administrative territory is divided into several kecamatan. Kadolomoko is a relatively small-scale residential area within this urban administrative unit, with no data available in the sources underlying this article regarding its exact population and infrastructure characteristics. The total population of Southeast Sulawesi Province according to first-half 2025 data was 2,848,747 inhabitants, and the province's land area is 38,140 km², with a sea surface of approximately 110,000 km². This broader context indicates that the region is relatively sparsely populated, though the province's urbanized nodes—including Baubau—are increasingly populated and economically active areas.
Real estate and investment
No available, verifiable settlement-level real estate market data exists regarding Kadolomoko. In the broader context, at the level of Kota Baubau, the real estate market in Baubau city has shown moderate but continuous growth in parallel with regional economic development over recent decades. Southeast Sulawesi Province is generally an active investment target in mining—particularly nickel extraction—and agriculture, which also influences local real estate demand. Infrastructure development affecting Buton island and the Baubau region likewise shapes the local real estate market, though no reliable data is available regarding its specific impact on Kadolomoko. An important general note is that under Indonesian real estate regulations, foreign private individuals cannot acquire "Hak Milik" (full ownership) title; for them, "Hak Pakai" (right of use) and in certain cases "Hak Sewa" (rental right) are available, with detailed provisions falling under Indonesian agrarian law.
Safety and security
No specific public safety statistics or surveys regarding Kadolomoko are available in the sources used. Southeast Sulawesi Province is generally counted among Indonesia's relatively stable regions not presenting elevated security risks, though this does not mean that minor local conflicts, property disputes, or traffic accidents do not occur in the region. Baubau city, as a regional center, possesses police and administrative infrastructure that plays a role in maintaining public order. However, in the absence of specific, verified data, no independent, well-founded conclusion can be drawn regarding Kadolomoko's public safety; those concerned should obtain current safety information regarding travel and residence from competent authorities or reliable travel advisory sources.
Tourist attractions
Kadolomoko itself has no directly named tourist attractions listed in available sources, thus the following mentions notable sites verifiable in the broader Kota Baubau area. Baubau's most famous historical landmark is Keraton Buton, the former fortified palace complex of the Buton Sultanate, regarded as one of the world's largest enclosed historical royal residences with surrounding walls—this site is located in Baubau city center and is not administratively far from Kadolomoko, though no specific numerical distance data is available. Additionally, several locations along the coastline surrounding Buton island and Baubau feature natural attractions, including coral reefs and diving areas that are becoming increasingly known destinations among tourists visiting the region. The broader Southeast Sulawesi Province, with several of its islands, including the Wakatobi National Park area, is counted as a natural tourism attraction associated with the region, though this lies farther from Kadolomoko and Baubau, in another part of the province.
Summary
Kadolomoko is a smaller settlement within Kota Baubau's administrative territory, in Kecamatan Kokalukuna district, in Southeast Sulawesi Province, on Celebes island. In the absence of independent, settlement-level documentation, the site's characteristics can be approached through the broader regency and provincial context: Baubau is a regional center of historical and economic significance, whose broader area is increasingly drawing attention through the nickel industry, historical heritage tourism, and coastal natural resources. Specific data regarding Kadolomoko relating to real estate markets, public safety, and tourism currently are not publicly available, therefore for better understanding of the location, on-site investigation or consultation with local authorities is recommended.
